I like how Nerd Boy accepts the loss of his book immediately in the third panel. He just swallows his feelings and moves on. Kind of touching, in a way.

I came up with it just as I was going to bed, so I scribbled it down on a piece of paper. Here's the original script: - N: Mandy! Riddle me this! M: Oh god. - N: Have you ever noticed how "O shigoto wa nan desu ka" resembles "Nani o shimasu ka"? M: I don't know Japanese! - N: I know, I was just trying to impress you. M: Well, I'm not impressed, bozo! - N: * - N: Potted plant! Riddle me this! Too many panels, so then I merged some stuff: - N: Mandy! Riddle me this! M: Oh god. - N: Have you ever noticed how "O shigoto wa nan desu ka" resembles "Nani o shimasu ka"? M: I don't know Japanese! And stop trying to impress me! I'm not impressed, bozo! - N: * - N: Potted plant! Riddle me this! Then when I made the actual strip, I didn't have the script with me, so it turned out even better, IMHO. --- HAAAAHAHAHAHAAAA! _ ,--. `O |_) ,---- ~.. -----. | \ \ |_\ _[__] |`-.___>>_______`-. +-+-+ | |b| | |__|___\\________|| | | | Stupid.
