I briefly had another joke in mind, but it didn't involve showing off
the nice new hovercraft the way I wanted to. I might do that joke in
the next strip...

When you're right, you're right. In my first version of that strip,
Nerd Boy just sighs instead of the "shut up" line. I added that line
merely to tie things together, but it ended up being more or less
the only funny line in the strip. :\
