Ahh.. Mandy. I should do way more Mandy strips. Maybe a whole story
arc with her in the lead, although this last one sure came close to
being just that.

This is the kind of scene I enjoy - right after the big accusational/personal
revolution speech, there is always one comic moment of silent staring at each
other. Ones' contemplation of what the other party has just said, and a pause
to decide what to say next. And you can bet that what will be said is a total
anticlimax - every single time! Once again you hit the comic nail on the head
and have got this strip absolutely right. Yet another classic Nerd Boy strip!

The anticlimax...

... and the hint of evil :O)

>Ahh.. Mandy. I should do way more Mandy strips.

Definitely.  She's the most defined character I've seen in any comic in ages
and I think that a series of Mandy strips would be funny as hell.  You could
expand on why she's so mean to the others; perhaps some kind of flashback to
Mandy's childhood - or introduce a new character who is an influence on her.
