Ones' contemplation of what the other party has just said, and a pause to decide what to say next. And you can bet that what will be said is a total anticlimax - every single time! Once again you hit the comic nail on the head and have got this strip absolutely right. Yet another classic Nerd Boy strip! > > Dork! > __ , > #.. ..~ > .)|. -<<. > ___ || ________ || ___ The anticlimax... > Heh heh.. > __ , > #-- ~.. > )| >> >jg______________________ || _______________________ |\ ______________ ... and the hint of evil :O) >Ahh.. Mandy. I should do way more Mandy strips. Definitely. She's the most defined character I've seen in any comic in ages and I think that a series of Mandy strips would be funny as hell. You could expand on why she's so mean to the others; perhaps some kind of flashback to Mandy's childhood - or introduce a new character who is an influence on her. -- Graeme Porter -^-_ _ / [_][_]_:_ Proud owner of a 1978 /| _||_ v Pearl Fiberglass Shell kit | / \ | -=/=\\____//=\=jaa "I married Miss right, I just didn't know her first name was 'Always'" -- Anonymous
