All of these Bignose strips were written out of order. I just started with several originally unconnected Bignose strips like this one; once I decided to link them together in a basic storyline I had to write out the ones that I still needed (still out of order, by the way).
Wow, I haven't done a Parenting Tip for quite a while!
Actually it wasn't only "the other day;" it was almost a month ago.
It's kind of interesting that sometimes things like this can happen to me out of the blue without much thought, when I can't think of any strip ideas through conscious thought.
