I've never seen the show, and I only know of the characters through bubble gun ads in old comic books. Well, I’m 25 this year.

Back during my first try at grad school, I was pretty much the cut off year for remembering the Challenger Disaster. Of course, that 4 years can mean a lot.

I'm 28, 29 in November, and I used to watch Gumby all the time as a kid. It may have been in reruns, and it may have been at the instigation of my Uncle who is about 10 years older than I am, but it was definitely showing through the md 80s.

I may be an overlord but I don't mind sharing the credit with my minions! Mwa HA HA HA! And you can bet your South Shore keister that I'll put you on storyboarding duty soon enough... :) Don’t sweat it with the ‘we’ stuff PM… I may be an overlord but I don’t mind sharing the credit with my minions!

We have already started cutting out jokes because we're running out of space. Also, we want to build up a little continuity and a small story arc... plus, I'm not sure there's enough comic genius between us to pull off gags in three panels. * The use of "we" and "us" made it shorter to write than "you and with my humble and occasional help" all the time.

But Fang's dark colours made it hard to see what he was actually doing... Rex on the other hand made a great picture! A later version (with Rex) had an off panel Blackie saying that no Dead alewives references were allowed (and a later off panel comment by Rex saying, in small letters, 'but I really wanted some Dew')... but it made the comic really crowded. I'm starting to realize that some of the best lines actually happen mid comic (like the playing with your food one) and maybe I should go with 3-4 panel comics instead of 6 and make them more often...

The panels aren't out of order here. Panels: 1 2 3 4 5 6 are read in order 1,2,3,4,5,6. The confusing part might be that panel 2 is unrelated to the rest of the comic, and is just a random reference.

Panels:
