Julia Finally Dreamt That

The reason I say "finally" in the title is because, in an earlier strip, Julia said that not even her dreams would let her become President of IWMA.

Her Brain is Against Her

Watch Your Language, MagiMiss!

The title is a repeated title of Watch Your Language, Moe!

When I showed my earlier strips of this story to my mom, she said that Iikutaat looked like he had more human proportions than the other characters did. So now I'm trying to keep him more Real Person-y, except for the three fingers and a thumb (characteristic of cartoons) and the lack of nipples (I'm not fully sure about this one; maybe it had something to do with an ancient ritual for males).

Well, Hello, Little Miss Hypocrite!

The title is a repeated title of Well, Hello, Mr. Hypocrite! and Well, Hello, Mrs. Hypocrite!

I Guess She Could Be Talking To Herself...In A Way...

I'll be honest. When I said that today's strip would be a little late, I didn't expect it to be this late.

Today's strip is actually the third in a line of ideas for Julia's Secret Friend. The first was a "Mystical Disembodied Voice," and the second a ghost.

Oh, Good Grief!

The box says "Make Julia President of IWMA Fund."

Unanimously Voted?!

When I was trying to think of another person to put on a chair, I suddenly thought of Tom. Instead of showing him, I just figured I'd hint that he's slumped down in his chair covered in red paint.

I love doing stuff with Tom.

Well, Next Year IS 2012...

I did some calculating yesterday, and today is the 1724th strip I've posted on this blog, not counting Blogger Action Day 2007, the "in progress" version of one of my strips, the two "lost strips," or the "three panels" mini-strip from the Twelve Days of Christmas. If you do count those, I've posted 1729 strips.

Maybe a better sentence would be "I've posted 1724 canon strips."

So Close, And Yet So Far!!

When I showed the last strip of last year's Election Week to my brothers, they were wondering how Strip Supervisor would have more power than the President. I decided I'd better explain that part in this strip.

Sneaky, But Not Sneaky Enough!

So this is what Julia meant on Tuesday when she said "We'll see about that" when I predicted that she wouldn't have any success in the election.

So What Has She Got Up Her Sleeve?

That little line jutting out of my head is supposed to be my nose.

No, Please, Don't Do This Again!!

In case you need a refresher on what Julia's talking about, all you need to read is the last strip of last year's Election Week.

Welcome Back

Julia tried to make the blog look as much as it could like it did back in early 2008.

That Just CAN'T Be Good

The title for this post is a repeated title of That Can't Be Good.

SHE WON!!!

I wasn't originally intending to show Julia in the middle panel, but I just had to show her excitement when she thought everyone voted for her. So that's four straight elections she's lost! (Yes, I broke the presidential tie in 2009 by voting for Charlie.)

I Just Had To Prove My Point

Three years of rejection? Yes, Julia hasn't been elected since 2007. Do you think that means Julia was president before 2007, or does it mean that 2007 is when Julia first ran for president? I'm thinking the latter. My line in the last panel wasn't that easy to write. It took several variations for me to find a line I liked.

Julia Is Optimistic (Pessimistic?)

I said what I did in the title because being president would be good for her, but bad for the rest of us. Today's strip was originally switched with tomorrow's, but I changed it to this order for a better storyline flow.

My Way Or The Highway

TITM

My original caption was "Julia in the morning." But then I thought of the comic strip Zits, how it also shows Jeremy (the teenager in the comic strip) having a hard time getting out of bed sometimes. So it made sense to stop focusing on one teen and extend the caption to refer to most (if not all) teens.

She's REALLY Short for her Age!
