I was really struggling with a decent way to elaborate on just what suggestions Dandy made. I knew the suggestions, in and of themselves, weren’t overtly hilarious. As I was beginning drawing this strip, the initial script had Dandy and Maryweather essentially discussing, at length, that they had a good time. I was drawing the first panel when I realized that I could have Maryweather mention Audrey and Bernard’s date and have a more meaty conversation AND get that info out there. The last two panels here are pretty much what I originally wrote, so you can see that my original opening panels weren’t at all essential to the strip.
Sometimes, the answers just pop out at you.

When I came up with the rubber band gag, I didn’t realize it would take two full strips to set up and execute. Well, almost MORE than two strips, since this one required an extra panel inset to push the visual. ANYwho, it was fun to show Bernard’s “Dandy” side.

While Dandy was quite proud of how Bernard handled the prank in this weeks strips, he’s also not about to let Bernard outshine HIM. There’s a place for everything and everything in it’s place, after all.
