As a child I remember that when everyone came over for Thanksgiving, that the puzzles always came out. Puzzles create great opportunities for not having to talk (and still be a part of things) for those moments when you need that.

This was a fun physical gag to write because I always pictured the tooth fairy to be a very gentle fairy, being that as a child the tooth fairy never woke me up.

He’s a vulture! Of COURSE that’s his reaction.
Part of why animals are so funny is that when they are written like humans, we expect them to REACT like humans, but when they react as nature intends, it seems ridiculous.
Anyhow, little insight in humor there.

This was a fun strip both because it was interesting trying to describe such a simple task (“whistling” is the classic simple action which is so very hard to describe), and also because Dee’s results are such an easy result to have happen.
Come on by theĀ NEWW comic convention this weekend, in Easthampton, MA. I’ll be at theĀ Topatoco table!

This strip was inspired by the many pieces of “expired” candy I’ve eaten in my life. Most smaller candy doesn’t even have expiration dates on the individual pieces. But I’ve eaten them all.
I’ve even eaten candy which tasted verrrry funny. Blame the sweet tooth. It’s much nicer than blaming the sanity.
I’m not sure how much of this strip is having fun defining Dee’s character, and how much of it was that I wasn’t sure yet what she should be.
