If puns are really the lowest form of humor, then consider me LOW! I just couldn’t resist the final pun there. Maybe it’s just the giddyness of having Mr. Fuzzy, Mistake’s Robot guardian and sidekick back in the strip.

When I originally wrote this, the 3rd panel had bernard saying: “Hmm, maybe THIS will help.” and in response to Mistake’s cry of “He’s Reacitn’!!”, Bernard would have said: “Indeed… GASP he IS…”

It was plenty funny, but kind of made my statement a few strips ago about Bernard not being quite as DUMB as he has been seem like a lie. Now, while it isn’t said straight out, there’s the implication that Bernard willingly walked into his choking because he knew that NEW anger would snap Dandy out of it. He’s taking one for the team, as it were.

ALSO, I want to congratulate Dandyphile, Eric Agena? for winning the raffle! Look for Eric to show his mug in an upcoming strip! And thanks to everyone who participated!

I can now officially say with conviction… STOP SENDING ME EMAILS TELLING ME TO BRING MARYWEATHER BACK!!!!

She’s back! Okay… happy!? Yeesh. Okay, all goofing aside, I was driving myself nuts trying to figure out an angle for just how to bring Maryweather back. I knew I wanted it to come out of left field without any of the foreshadowing I’m used to setting up, and this seemed like the perfect time to drop the hammer, metaphorically speaking. For Dandy, this is like adding insult to injury, which is karmically blissful.

And, of course, while drawing these strips this week, it dawned on me that Dandy’s lost his hair plenty of times only to have that ever-magic cartoon recovery by the next day. But this time I’ll drag out his pain a little. :)

Even the best laid plans of dogs and boys tend to blow up in their faces every now and again. Right? Or could this be forshadowing?

NAW… I’d NEVER do something like THAT! ;)

As always, writing a strip with Mistake is a tricky one. His unique way of talking always has my computer working overtime on spell checking. I need some kind of universal translator or something.
