Hello again, Grocery Store Lady! I love how effective this comic is if you read it right after “The Plot” comics. Oh, and because I’m sure this fad will have been forgotten by time this page is published, the bottlecap challenge was this thing where people would fake a bottlecap flying off a bottle after […]

One of the consequences of this strip is that I had to write Lynda out of the series until she is reintroduced un the conclusion. Sadly that does mean a hand full of ideas had to be scrapped, but on the other hand, Ex-Wife was introduced a few strips ago. By using her and Janice

A minor gag throughout the series is that each character has a specific song for their ringtone. Keep an eye out for them! It was tricky determining how to display that text, which was another issue caused by the lack of space that I had to work with. Creating a text box would have covered

This is the middle point of the series and when I had planned on developing the center piece caper, so the villains are plotting in an expository fashion.

If there was significance to the “97” in Ex-Wife’s username I do not recall it.

I remember feeling especially cramped with this one, and had to make a number of compromises in the dialogue between Partner and Ex-Wife to conform to the lack of space. If Action Hat returns it will be in full pages.

Something I did to expedite these comics was to make a simple silhouette of goods on shelves for the background. I then changed the colors of that silhouette and the color of the background gradient for each strip. It’s a little lazy, but speed is something you need to consider when making comics in this
