He's 30 Dog Years Old Today

Mean Dog's present is shaped like a bone.

The House is Really Full

I did my best to stuff as many people into the last panel as I possibly could. I put in:

Moe (head barely visible in foreground)
Lily (ditto)
Mama
Me
A superhero
Sarah (who has never been in the strip before)
A weird animal called a Star Ninja
Kristene
Anna
Alex
Mean Dog
Bob
Michelle
Julia
Charlie
Thidwick
Brennan
Heidi
Elisha
and The Stick. Can you spot him?

GrrrrrRARF!

I've named that dog in the last panel Mean Dog, for obvious reasons.

Our 1000th post is in a month! Expect a celebration soon!

It's Alex!

What is Alex doing at his house?

The links go to Alex's previous appearances, in case you need to refresh your memory.

He Ate his Logo?!

Just a Line?

I wonder what Julia wanted to say.

That Julia Has Black Eyes

Two Julias?!

A Tiny Dog Beat Him Up!

This is actually a spoof of a story created by The Master of Red Brick, Blue Brick. This strip was originally three!

Wink!

Uh-oh, so Moe knows that Merlin was missing! Oh, well, today's the end of the February-March story. And...tune in again tomorrow...it's April Fool's Day! Hee hee hee...

Kaboom!

I like the way I used the stool as the O in the logo. I wonder what would happen if someone was on Mars, and looking at the passage to the back of Moe's truck at the same time Mars was sucking into itself. Why do you think it exploded?

How did THEY Get There?

How do you think those passages got there? What do you think Merlin's going to do with them?

Surprise!

HIYA!

We haven't seen Moe for a little while. Let's show him in today's strip.

He Hit a Truck!

I used the sky fading colors again in panel 2. You'll have to look closely to see it.

Wasted?

I've noticed that when I look at the sky, the shade of blue gets darker as I look higher. So I tried to do that in today's strip. Do you think I succeeded?

He Remembered!

Do you think he's already home? I hope not! Moe could be worried about Merlin!

How Could He Forget THAT?!

I can't believe he forgot about his owner! ...I wonder if any of you forgot, too?

Wrong End Date

In panel 2, Merlin's supposed to be looking up at the date.

You Said It!

The original rough for this strip had the joke the same, but when it came time to draw the final strip, I had an idea to have it be something like this:

"Man, that was quite an adventure!"
"You can say that again!"
"Man, that was quite an adventure!"
"I didn't mean literally."

But I thought that this version would be funnier, so I didn't change it.
