For one second I missed what you were saying there! Yeah, I too like the "being yanked out of your shoes" gag. @Wit: Thanks. @ MJ: Yeah, this second attempt at the layout worked out much better. @Doug: Oh man… For one second I missed what you were saying there!

I loved the first panel - laughed out loud (well, more a muffled chortle). I don't mind the layout, and found the whole thing flowed fairly well for me. I did Iike the use of half panel framing in the 3rd and 5th panels, and the larger first and last panels make for a good opening act and punchline. Yeah, maybe coulda done without Fred's thoughts in the last panel, but then again... I also loved the classic "leaving the the shoes and glasses behind" motif at the end. Gotta love the classics!

I should have used white letters and a black outline, but I was in a hurry. I'll fix it later.

I enjoyed this one. First time using the clouds...couldn't tell. Gulp. Why not try filled white letters in your center black square? Again, another clean comic…very nice. I enjoyed this one.

Regardless, I found the layout a little questionable, so the comic you see now is the revised version. Curse the hands! Thanks scott.

I laughed at the fifth panel ("What does he mean nerds ta..") That's funny. Liked the last panel too. Totally agree about drawing hands. The layout didn’t bother me at all.

I had to use it in the fifth panel because I needed more black without drawing a background. @ Eric: Thanks! I did leave the thought bubble out at first. At one point I also had fred speaking in panel five, then yelling in panel six, but I was having a hard time laying everything out. This is one of those comics I could have done either way. Tough to say which would be right. @ MJ: I think part of it, is I should have boxed in panel one, and the title. That open space from panel one to the title and then panel five is acting as a side route for eyes... This layout would have worked better if I kept the frames closed and boxed in the title or made the title a black box with white letters. I still like it though. Thanks guys.

Maybe the first panel should of been smaller with the fourth larger. I felt drawn into reading the last panel. Cool layout though with the title in the center A little confusing at first read.
