<snip #262>

Well, I'm gonna try out this "constructive criticism" stuff...
First off, I liked the strip (I was laughing out loud at the
second frame :).  I'm going to have to agree with llizard on
the last frame, though.  Could've done without the exclamation
from NB.

And maybe it's just me, but I don't seem to read the strips
-entirely- in order.  In this one, the last frame was very busy.
After the third frame, my eyes were drawn to NB's statement
before I saw the robot crashing into the hovercraft (which is a
terrible waste of a hovercraft, btw!).  If -I- were to arrange
the strip, it'd look more like this:
--
   So you're saying the               Exactly! Quick,

The only things I changed were this:
  - Frame three was moved a bit left
  - Frame four was moved a bit right, and one line down (for spacing)
  - 'jg' was moved to the end, but that's unrelated
The effect I saw was the camera panning left with Fan Boy standing
still.  This layout makes the frames a bit more consistant.

'Nerdmobile'... heh... :)
