Doctor WHO?!

This actually happened on a game I played with my family on Home Jeopardy. I can't remember the exact scores, but the answers Moe, Merlin, and Charlie gave are the exact same answers from the game I played.

Try Never

Sorry about the lateness of today's strip.

His Dignity Flew Out The Window

This strip was based on a confusion. I was drawing a picture of Bob and a friend of mine asked if it was a rabbit. He was not like Dan, in case you're wondering. So, being the cartoonist I am, I just kinda expanded on that and let the characters go where they wanted to go, and this happened.

I think Dan turned out a little more (ignorant? dopey? dull?) than I had originally intended. For this reason, I probably won't be using him again.

So He's Gravy Now?

I've been holding in this idea for about a month now. I couldn't use it when I thought of it because the February-March story was still in progress. But I scheduled this strip for the first available Sunday after the story ended.

Brennan Has One Too?!

Welcome Back

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

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand, She Fainted

Finally, Normality

What Happened To the Rest of the Straws?

That's Gotta Feel Odd

I wonder what it feels like to be coming out of someone else's stomach?

Seconds Are Not Weekends!

The little words on the clock in the logo read, clockwise: SECOND, MINUTE, HOUR, DAY, WEEKEND, WEEK, MONTH, SEASON, YEAR, DECADE, CENTURY, MILLENNIUM. I'm starting to think that, instead of WEEKEND, WEEK, maybe I should have done WEEK, FORTNIGHT.

Oh well.

It's Not Fun Anyway

I figured that in the last panel, I'd make Julia's face a little red. I guess I forgot.

Do you think some dreams ought to be kept private (i.e. not told to anyone)?

Julia Asked For It

By the way, today we will finally post a new poll!

Who Ordered the Double Post?

I love trying to think of double post titles. Here are the ones I've done:

Psshhhh! The Double-Post!

Another Double-Post

Yet Another Double-Post

Here's Another Double-Post

Double Post...Again Again

Here At I.W.M.A., We Commonly Create Double Posts.

I'll Take the Late-Double Post Combo, Please.

Who Ordered the Double Post?

I've done so many, I thought I'd go ahead and make a label "double post." In the last few ones, I thought I'd try to make them a little bit more creative.

The Bronze Stool teaser

That's Gotta Be Embarassing

When I first thought of the idea for this strip, I was considering having Julia. But then I realized she'd be needing to go into the men's room. I thought it'd be a bit funnier if Moe had to go to the women's room, so I changed it to this.

Julia's Not Wearing Green on St. Patrick's Day!

In the first panel, I was going to have Julia's line be "I'm Julia, and I don't have a sister." But then I remembered Lily, and I had to white out the "and I don't" I had already written. In fact, part of Julia's talk bubble was part of the comma I originally wrote after "I'm Julia."

What's the Other Half?

The "Now" in Julia's "Now build it!" in the second panel was done in Photoshop, because I forgot to write it manually. What I did was just copy and paste, individually, an N, O, and W from Moe's line in the first panel and put them together in the second.

It's Not Worrrrrrrkiiiiiiiiing

That's Not Important

Evaporate

The White Gleam Is a Dead Giveaway

The "you have that white gleam in your eyes" was in my original sketch. When it was time to draw this strip, however, I wanted to remove it–it seemed too much of a "THIS IS THE PUNCHLINE"-type thing. But then I figured the white gleam in Moe's eyes (or, more like, Moe's white eyes) seemed too subtle, so I put the line back in. But when I drew the strip, Moe's right eye (our left) was too thin to see the white gleam. I couldn't cover it with liquid paper (since the colored pencil would smear), so I had to start all over.

Uh-Oh, His Eyes Turned White

In case you're wondering, the Body Swapper could be used to disguise spies.

Oooooooh, Foreboding!

No, Continue!

The Cleaniminicitiminator!

I Need One Of Those!!

Just like Bill Watterson (Calvin and Hobbes), I'm trying to make the panel layout a little more free-form. But here, the black outline isn't part of the freestyle panel layout. It just shows, like several other strips in this story, that that panel is disconnected from the other three (panels?)

Hey, That Was The Password!

I couldn't think of any other flavor for white fruit snacks, so I decided to make it a non-standard fruit snack flavor.

Why Did He Make It So Bulky??

Behold! The Weather Perfector-inator!

The title is a reference to Dr. Doofenshmirtz from the TV show Phineas and Ferb. I think this is one of the best strips I've done this year (that's not saying much, though, considering we're only two months into 2011).

One Tiny Drawback

Just like this strip, the last panel is disconnected from the first two, so it was drawn with a thick outline.

They Complement Each Other

I apologize for the delay in today's strip.

Freaky Indeed

Well, Excuuuuuuuuuuuuse Me!

HoloTV

The movie playing in the third panel is the end of Prince Catsup part 6.

Pthhhhfhhtfhtfhfhffftfhffffffthh!

The Pipe OrganBot is from this strip.

The Almanac of Nermia: The Field Trip of the Dusk Rider Slideshow - Part 7 of 7

This Boy Really IS 100% Rubber

Happy 1500th Post! Our semi-celebration is:

We will post Part 7 of The Dusk Rider later today!

100% Invisi

It renders you 99% insolid because if it were 100%, Moe wouldn't be able to walk.

You're A Balloon??

The title is sort of a repeated title of You're A Genie?? Originally the big bulge at the top wasn't there, but then I thought that there would need to be room for the expanded head.

What's a Flopsidoodle For?

The flopsidoodle came from our collaboration video with PDoGU, "Where's My Flopsidoodle?"

View this video on PDOGU or on YouTube.

Why Would You Need To Use That?!?!

The title is an unintentional repeated title of Why Would You Use THAT?!

The HypnoHelmet

The last panel is disconnected with the first two, so I drew the panel border thicker than I normally would; kind of like this strip.

I Don't Think I Want To Know The Answer To That

Duplicator and Time Machine Couch

The time machine Moe is holding in the second panel is this one. The number on the side of the duplicator shows how many copies will be made. So, with 002 on the side, one will go in; three will come out (one and two copies).

But Which One Of You?

The next few strips will be devoted to Moe explaining about each of his inventions.

Moe Invented ALL THAT?!

If you're wondering, he's stepping in the tunnel behind the mirror shown in yesterday's strip. Moe will describe the inventions shown in the last panel in later strips.

Welcome to the 2011 February-March Story!!

In case you're wondering, he didn't break the towel rack; he just pulled on it like a lever.

Is That The Official Definition For A Knife?

That's The Most Obvious Shirt Caption Ever

Sorry about the recent lack of posts. I got behind again.

My brother came up with the idea for this one.
