The pacing is interesting in this one. It seems to go uphill,
going slower and slower to some kind of apex, and then just
releasing in the final panel. Nerd Boy has become less of an
ASCII experiment, and more a 4-panel comic script experiment.
I find that I've started reading strips in a different way now,
looking at rhythm and form more than the actual joke.
Another interesting thing about this strip is that Mandy seems
to be on autopilot for the first three panels; she doesn't move
a muscle. Like she's using an aimbot for her quips.
