Wait a Minute...

Uh-oh! The pen is running out. We're gonna hold off coloring and inking until we find a good substitute, but it won't be easy!
The first panel was mostly done with my old substitute pen. Yup, it's running out. The second panel was done with my blue-line pencil (not my blue colored pencil), even though I don't do blue-lines very often. The last one was don with my Sharpie. That's the new pen, because it's colored again.

I.W.M.A. is sorry for the recent lack of poll results, so we will try to get out our results and new poll today.

That's It?

Black in Last Panel!



Poll results and new poll coming tomorrow.

Sleepitize?

I'm sorry, but the right side of the last panel is cut off a little bit. I didn't know how to fix it. Hey, it was my first time scanning in on the new scanner! And today I'll hopefully be able to do it better. It's okay, there wasn't really anything except green in the cut off section.

COLOR!!

The colors in the second panel that were shot out by the computer were done on the computer.

The little paper-texture background is back, but is lighter, which actually affects the other colors slightly.

Moe Predicts: 2008

I.W.M.A. is sorry for the lack of Moe Predicts. Oh well, let's get to it.
Here we go...
In 2008:
  • The daily strips will colorize themselves
  • The first movies will go onto the blog
  • N.I.T.M. will be replaced
  • Merlin's adventure as the February-March story

Strange Pose

This came from me trying to think of a joke for this strip. I guess the real joke is in the last panel, but you have to read the first two to be able to understand why he's in that pose.

You'll notice that the strips are slightly smaller, too.

We need at least one more vote before we can post our results.

To make sure you have enough time, we'll change the release date.

He's Already Two?!

Notice how the background looks different? That's because this was the first strip scanned into our new scanner onto our new computer.

It looks nice, don't you think?

Strange Dream

Hi, I! Hi, W! Hi, M! Hi, A!
I'm still wondering how I came up with this joke.

Back to I.W.M.A.

Time Travel!

Give it up, Moe. There's no way I'm sitting in a box with you. Huh? Who? What?
You can see faint colors in panel 2. Another hint that they're...er...dreaming closer to Sunday.

1/4/08

Time Machine?

Do you think the time machine will work?

1/3/08

DON'T THREATEN HIM!

You can see a little "smoke" over Moe's and Mom's heads. I guess they're only semi-mad.

Happy New Year!


I can't believe Julia forgot that.

Happy New Year, everyone. Again, new year, new font!

12/31/07

Welcome to J.W.M.A.

Please excuse the misplacement of the logo. Because the blog is now J.W.M.A., Moe Predicts will be featured next Monday.

12/29/07

Whew!

I.W.M.A. = J.W.M.A.
Just thought I'd tell you that I.W.M.A. has upgraded to an i(w)Mac!

Get it?
I.W.M.A. + iMac = iWMac!

I didn't know I.W.M.A. was the subject of a...er..."math" problem.

12/28/07

SHE'S PUTTING A STOP TO IWMA?!

Uh-oh. She's putting a stop to I.W.M.A.? That means this must be the last post!! In case you want to know, tune in tomorrow to find out!

How Is It Possible To Be Freezing and Burning at the Same Time?

Freeze froze fruzz. Hot hit hat.
This strip was originally going to be something with Julia, but I couldn't remember the joke (and I still can't). So, sorry you can't see the joke.

Um, I Don't Think That Means the World Blog is Coming To an End.

I have a piece of CHEESE on my finger!
This came from The Master. I have no idea how he came up with it.

Man, I'm all out of breath for trying to get all of those 12 Days of Christmas things right. Okay, not really, because I typed it. I don't say what I'm typing when I'm typing it, but some of the other characters do...

They Heard Each Other!

Real strange. They're going Christmas shopping for each other on the same day in the same store in the same aisle at the same time, so they hear what they're going to get each other for Christmas!

6th Day of Christmas and new poll coming soon.

Christmas sale! What would you like this Christmas from IWMA?

And nobody wanted:
Because we released a new product, the IWMA ornaments, we've decided to add something: everybody who voted will get these! Here are the shipping times:
Canada and Mexico voters should take about 6-10 days to get there. Because of this, our products may arrive to you a little after Christmas. Anywhere else can not get anything.

12/17/07

That's All He Wants?

and How To Trick Julia book!

It Won't Snow for THAT Long!

Due to a Blogger glitch, the archive list will be a different version for a little bit.
Good grief, it isn't snowing that hard is it?!

On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...
2 cheeseburgers
and How To Trick Julia book!

1st Day of Christmas

I found out that the Garfield website is doing a 12 days of Christmas advent calendar, so we decided to do one ourselves (click on "advent calendar" to see the Garfield version). So, here we go.

On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...

How To Trick Julia Book!

Tune in tomorrow for the 2nd day of Christmas!
