Right as I was finishing up this strip, I realized that I was TOTALLY ripping someome off: MYSELF! I did, pretty much, this exact same punchline with Dandy and Mistake YEARS ago. Still, since the sentiment is very similar here, I decided to keep this strip.

That, and I was WAY too lazy to scrap an entire strip and start over. ;)

Dandy & Company’s COMMUNITY THEATER is BACK! With the return of the commissions program, I’ve generated enough original art to keep the Sunday’s filled up throughout the end of the year. So, in a way, this is YOUR day now!

And you can be a part of the fun by making a request for your OWN ORIGINAL “Dandy & Co.” ART! It’s an original, hand drawn “D&C” piece made to YOUR specifications, and NOW that the commissions will be fueling Sunday’s around here, you can REALLY be a part of the action. Just click here for details!

While I was sketching out this strip, I REALLY wanted to get that stupid stack of contracts Dandy’s been holding for days now OUT of his hands. Drawing those pages over and over and working around them has been obnoxious. I should have had him put them in a box or something, but tons of papers really sell the idea better.

Strips like this one are ALWAYS tricky for me. And they’re always the most criticized since there’s no punchline. In stories like this, it’s often required to just play up a plot detail for the readers without turning it into a gag. In such cases, i try to front load the strip with SOME humor in the beginning, and I think Dandy’s dialouge in panel 1 is pretty funny. Not “PUNCHLINE” funny, per say, but funny enough to keep the tone of the strip going.

There’s not much for me to say to add to today’s strip other than to say be sure to check out Monday’s strip to see just why DANDY’S thinking “Sucker”.
