They Can Fly?

Originally both of them were going to be flying like Moe, but then I realized for some reason that they should be flying in different ways. Julia's flying more gracefully, while Moe's flying like a superhero.

The Giant Teddy

I noticed that most of the teddy bears I draw in the strip now have that basic style.

People In Dreams Just Go Along With Things That Happen, I Guess

I decided to make a third Truffula Tree grow between those two (yes, those are Truffula Trees). I thought it could be like their "kid," so I made it orange (a cross between red and yellow, as anyone should know).

Is Bignose Secretly a Master Hypnotist or Something?

This was the second Bignose strip of this story I wrote out; the first ended up not fitting in this story and I replaced it with another one.

There are still a few days left to vote on the poll!

Not You, Too!

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).

Jeff's Idea

Oops, Moe said "third grade" instead of "tenth."

I did my best with the puce color suggestion.

Moe has a different pose when he says "blah" than when he said "doh!" Merlin is also in a different pose when he says "yo," and he's also reacting to Julia's talk bubble in the last panel a different way.

This Better Be The Last Double Post or Greater!

 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.
Whew! Finally back on track.

What Will Tom Do Over Summer Vacation?

Moe's phrase about "anyone to not terrorize with red paint" is an intentional reference to Homestar Runner.

Come On, Paddington, Shiver That Megaphone!

The calendar is supposed to represent that century Julia asks us to wait.

B--*

I seem to have a habit of making the "fingers" of the "hands" made out of Bob's tail or a fish's fin are pointy, like claws. For some reason I don't do that with Merlin's ears.

Have you noticed that Bob's ears have changed style a second time recently?

What, Is He Wearing His Size Changer Bodysuit Underneath?

I had to redraw this one to get Moe in full (-er) view.

Also, I'm starting to wonder...which one of them came up with the idea to sell boxes of breath mints?

MJ&M-Brand Mints

This idea came from an idea my brother had a little while ago. Someone's crush was coming past and he wanted to get a breath mint, and then it occurred to him that if one mint makes your breath smell good, then two would make it smell better, as would five...or ten...or fifty...and then we see him coming to his crush with two gigantic cheeks. ...I'm not exactly sure how that evolved into this.

Happy 1900th post, I.W.M.A.! To celebrate, we have this...um...what do we got lying around here, um...ah, a picture...of my...sketchbook.
Whoopee...

I hope the 2000th post's celebration is more exciting than that.
