Basic instructions: Your all-inclusive guide to a life well-lived.   Pre-order now!
 
On shelves Sept. 1!


So, after last week the general consensus was that breaking up a single strip into four daily strips didn't work. Scott A. suggested two more things to try.

1. That I try one more time to fit my full four panel comics within a daily strip footprint.
And
2. That I try to actually produce one strip a day for awhile, just to see how that flows.

I was dubious of both ideas, but I swore to myself at the start of this project that I would keep an open mind.

I tried one, "How to answer the unanswerable" and it looked like legal fine print with some tiny drawings thrown in. Looking at it, it did occur to me that I wasn't entirely happy with the 3rd panel's joke anyway, so I cut it. The result is below.


Adams and I quickly agreed that this "Write four panels and drop the weakest" plan was worth exploring. Below are the next two day's comics.




I will throw a mention of this posting up on my news blog so you can leave comments if you wish. I'd welcome your opinions.
