Close Shave

Yes, I brought back the Iikutaat memory spasm.

I was originally going to have a ghostly image of Iiku hovering behind me in the final panel, but I didn't have enough time to put it in. Maybe it'll show up in the new site...

That's right, we're updating and correcting some of our strips on the new site. Speaking of which, expect to start seeing strips (older and newer) appear on there next month!

Immediately after this year's Feb-Mar story (the trip to Iimojj), you kind of remember in the back of your mind that Moe and Julia have had their memories wiped–as time progresses, though, you start to lose that feeling. I decided to attempt to bring it back here. I'm probably not going to have them remember their identities, though.

I was a little pressed for time when I made these strips, so I didn't blue-line them on half the paper. Also, I switched today's strip with tomorrow's to make it faster to draw.

And, I have to think of a new color scheme for Squeaky, since my old pencil I drew him with is gone now.

Wow, We're Behind

Remember, Moe called it Iikutaat because his knowledge of the real name was blocked out.

I've started needing to use a different shade of green for Bob, since my old one had its last use in our 2000th post celebration.

And this strip marks the use of another new colored pencil - Prismacolor light cerulean blue! (It's used in the pool color).

Oh Boy, A Double--No, This Is A QUINTUPLE Post!!

We have a new poll up!

Back to the drawing-board...literally!

Julia wondering about the name of the city and the "...or is it??" were later additions.

I deliberately swapped the colors of Julia's clothes. My dad came up with the general idea of most of it, except the last two panels. Did you notice that "~~Heidi~~ Anna"'s Elisha disguise was just a wig?

These next two strips were ones I thought of on vacation.

This idea came about when I was just doodling without really thinking about what I was drawing. I tried mixing up some stuff in this strip. For example, the red targets in the first and second panels were colored before I drew the rest of the panel. Plus, in the first panel, the overall coloring was done before the outline was drawn. Moe's camouflage outfit and the "Master Blaster Deluxe" were new additions for the strip, not in my original sketch. I really enjoyed making this strip.

Finally, today's strip. This was also thought of on vacation, although it was based on a real experience.

The Reason Is Unveiled

A little while ago while I was showing some strips of this story to my brothers, and one of them asked what the purpose of them becoming the MagiCouple was. I figured I'd make this strip to explain it for them.

"Wow" Hardly Sums It Up

Whenever a character is saying something simple when something more complicated may be expected (or maybe not), I always make the talk bubble a lot bigger than it needs to be.
