Great. :)

Nope. I'm just saying that it was harder to make than most strips. I
tried several different punch lines and a couple of different first
panels. One of them had NB start out head down in the ground, but I
couldn't come up with a good transitional panel where he popped out
of the ground AND managed to say his whole line. It just looked
awkward, so I went with less action.

Well HAH! This one -isn't- off-the-cuff. It's as off-the-cuff as they
come. Heck, I only made it to be able to segue into the next strip,
how's that for planning?

None taken, I was smiling broadly as I read your off-the-cuff three-
panel strip. :D Actually, I'd rather come off as a pretentious artist
to balance out the oft geeky comic strip content. I guess my ruse has
succeeded! BWA-hahahahahaaaaa!
