Good, No Tom

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.

I Do Love A Bit Of Gorgonzola

Sometimes I need to shorten a strip idea to get it to fit in this Sunday format. But in this case, I actually needed to extend it a little.

I Thought They Lived SIMPLE Lives?

David Isn't Cool

:)

The title for the book came from me thinking about simple book titles, for something like a book without words. I can't exactly remember the details on how it turned into ":)".

How About, Just Don't Trust Him In General?!

This Strip is Pretty Funny

Not Scary One Bit

I was originally planning on using this idea for a calendar. But then I was looking for a good Halloween joke for this year, and I thought I'd use this strip.

Crud, I forgot to color in the pumpkin in the last panel!

Overly Complicated

The drop panel in the opening row (the one where Moe screams "YAAGH!") was in my original sketch for the strip. I decided to move it to the potentially removable top row to make more room for the rest of the strip. Even so, I needed to stack two panels on top of each other to make a bit more room.

Showoff

One thing I like about this strip is that Merlin was extremely careful about his painting and it turned out a bit pathetic; Bob, on the other hand, was almost careless with HIS painting, and it turned out like a photograph.

They Told Me Never, Never, Ever, to Disengage My Hair From My Head, or I Would Die

The post title is a reference to a line from Portal 2.

After I made this strip, I started thinking, "What if Erica said something like, 'What's a haircut?'" to justify the fact that she had NEVER had a haircut.

That Must Be One Big Back Fin!!

C-3PMerlin and R2-Bob2

Merlin's line is an actual line from Star Wars IV.

It All Makes Sense Now!

Long Fur

Bob's fur is actually much longer than the original sketch. Here it is:

When I drew this strip, I thought I'd make his fur a bit longer to emphasize Merlin's reaction. Then it came time to color it, and I thought, why not color outside the lines and make his fur even longer?

Worst Joke Ever

The Lightsaber With The Goofball Goes Vroom, Vroom, Vroom...

Just like Thursday's strip, the lightsaber is glowing. I decided not to color in the blade itself this time, to make it look more like the way they look in Star Wars.

Ostracized
