No Songs...Yet

I'm the same way, but I'm even stricter—I don't sing Christmas songs until December.

Fred Meyer

Like some foreign names, the V in Bourshevitz is pronounced like a W.

It's Dripping Out!!!

Like so many other strips, I put this under "long-lost" because I've had the idea for so long, and only recently remembered it.

Nine Point Five Years?!!?!?!?!!?!!!?!!!???

It looks like I've abandoned the statement from the last Nermia Day strip, that it was "just a movie, so we can't be here." This is foreshadowing for the next Nermia story. I need to finish the seventh part of the Dusk Rider!!

The Automatic Pie Thrower

Remember when I mentioned that Moe got a pie thrower in an older strip? I finally thought of a design that didn't seem to reference Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs! The light on the front was flashing red when Julia started moving. That light is the motion detector.

Mr. Elephant

Actually, Mr. Elephant is a real...er..."game." And yes, it is a free download. Everything in this strip described about Mr. Elephant is true. At least the facts are. The opinions are still a matter of, um, opinion.

The company that made the "game" is called Curious Media, so if I were to add another panel, I would have Moe say, "Curious Media is right!"

Poor Used Car Lot!

For Michelle's line about what used to be there, I accidentally kept writing "a used parking lot."

Where Can I Buy One Of Those?!

We are now selling the Thought Translator!

This strip was shortened to fit the format. When I was sketching this out, I just let the characters go where they wanted to go. This is my favorite way of writing strips.

That Just CAN'T Be Good

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

11/5/10

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.)

11/4/10

What Made Her Decide To Do That?

So Lily and I are running against each other. That's right, that overly and unfortunately successful Riley, who has defeated me in THREE STRAIGHT ELECTIONS, will not be running for president this year!! AND I AM DETERMINED TO BE ELECTED THIS TIME!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, Julia typed that. I just wish she'd stop acting like I'm her election enemy.

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.

Bob's Dressing Up As Himself?

My mom made the suggestion that Anna and Heidi would dress up as each other.

10/30/10

The Hwaoh

I really don't know what made me give the hwaoh a fishtail and feet. The hwaoh was, on the whole, modeled after Flygirl from our/PDOGU's Where's My Flopsidoodle?

He Hit His Head Hard

In case any of you were wondering, Moe means "thick head" literally and figuratively. He hit his head on the wall, by the way. And he means that, the thicker something is, the less force is felt.

10/28/10

Odd Letter

I'm not exactly sure what made me choose the letter B. I just did.

10/26/10

Well, That's What The Sun Is!

I came up with this idea around the same time I thought of this strip.

10/17/10

Power!

At first I was going to make Thidwick have big feet (instead of three), but that was too similar to the Bigfoot strip, so I changed it to this.

The IWMA Top Ten!

Everybody, today's our 1400th post. So today I'll be posting the IWMA Top 10, my ten favorite strips I've done since I started this blog four years ago.

#10:#9:#8:#7:#6:#5:#4:#3:#2:And, (drum roll please), The #1 IWMA Strip...Tah-dah!

Let Down Your Hair!!

If we could see the whole of Erica, her ponytail would come to around her knees.

We'll be posting our 1400th post later today!

Bigfoot Is Gigantic!

Michelle fainted, just like she did in the one where Lily found the magic Elixir.

MOE SAID SNAKE TULIP!!!

At first I was going to have Moe call the Sun a snake tulip, but I took out that panel (it would have gone between the first two panels).

10/12/10

Ooh, Lemons!

The reason this post has a "long-lost" label is because I've had the idea for this strip for years, and only recently rediscovered.

10/10/10

Erica

Erica was modeled after a real friend of mine. (Okay, I exaggerated the size of the ponytail, but still...)

I am never going to draw Tom in my strip.
