> 217 > --- I wasn't satisfied with the way the alien looked when it turned its head in episode 216, so I changed it in this one. This one is kind of good, I guess. > 218 > --- This strip is downright funny, IMO. There's nothing like bad humour. :) > 219 > --- This is a bit of filler to advance the plot. Not very funny. I've realised that I'd probably need to work full-time on Nerd Boy to get good plot -and- good jokes, and I don't think that's ever going to happen... > 220 > --- Kind of a surprise ending here. Surprises are good, even though this strip almost advances the plot a little bit. :) > 221 > --- As is more or less the rule when it comes to story arcs, the last strip just isn't funny. However, it does feature the image out of which the alien was diddled. It all started out as a silly heart, and then I drew a broken heart from that, and then I thought it looked a bit like two heads, and voila! -jg
