Hopefully the strip will only continue to get better. Doctor who? (sorry) Um, I've never actually seen an episode, so I wouldn't know... but It's still entirely possible that some time I heard someone quoting it, and the line lodged itself in my subconscious, only to be dredged up while I was writing Thanks Doug! Hopefully the strip will only continue to get better.

Aren't they from an old Dr Who episode? Grandpa sorta reminds me of Davros, too. I agree that the "electronic" speech bubbles are working just fine, so the font isn't an issue for me. Of course, it's not my strip. Keep up the terrific work. Villainous, evil, ruthless sponges? Aren’t they from an old Dr Who episode? Grandpa sorta reminds me of Davros, too.

Don't worry, there will be plenty more. and yeah, when I wrote that line, I laughed, so I knew it was here to stay. Thanks Justin! Don’t worry, there will be plenty more.

Brilliant. This is by far my favorite so far. Really excellent work! I'm especially liking the way you handled Grandpa's speech bubbles this time around. Can't wait to read more! “Villainous, evil, ruthless sponges.” Brilliant.

The big comic... well, I'll mention it a bit here, but I'm going to post more detail later... The comic is going to get bigger. What I'm thinking is that I'm going to start creating it at 4:3 ratio, so that if I want, I can enter some into the DC web comic thing (more on that in the weekend news post). Making the bigger comic will be more work though, so I'm going to only post big comics on tuesdays and thursdays. Mondays, wednesdays, and fridays I'm going to post smaller single panel comics or drawings down below in the blog section. At least, that's my plan at this point. The M, W, F, comics won't always be standard comics, sometimes they'll just be snapshots into the world of JP&TM, because that will help me flesh things out more without having to worry about canning ideas that I can't immediately write into full script jokes. Hopefully this will serve to deepen the world of JP&TM and sooth the loss of that third weekly comic strip. We'll see how it goes. Thanks for reading! Thanks!

By the way, I love the way Fred's face looks in panel 2. And the flowery glove in the last panel. Being able to see those details really adds alot to my appreciation of what is already a good comic.

It's a font of my handwriting with a vector brush using a tablet. I don't know as much about the font program as I should though, so the spacing on some of the letters is off. After I made the first set of lowercase letters, I tweaked the letter-forms for the uppercase versions, that's why it throws people off a bit, because when two letters are next to each other, I can use the different versions.

Don't worry, I'm not planning on stopping any time soon. To be perfectly fair to newspapers, they couldn't really publish this comic because I draw it too big and they shrink the comics down too small. My comic isn't quite suited to the newspaper environment, which seems to favor a more minimalist artistic style. Thank for the feedback Christopher!

"Villainous, evil, ruthless sponges" cracked me up. Great work. Is the text a font of your handwriting or did you buy it?

Not to wander wildly off-topic, but all my friends & I, back in the day, were Calvin & Hobbes fans, and I just found this comic...it feels like the good old days again...before them Internets and "teh suxxorz" and all that. (I know it's drawn electronically and online...but it's not Chinese toothpaste...it's what you're making that counts!) This is the type of comic that newspapers should have, but will never, ever (sad to say) publish...because of everything that's wrong with newsprint today. And because JP&TM is too smart. The way Adam and Fred are drawn in the garden rawks! Reminds me of every suburban gardener I've ever known/seen. PLEASE PLEASE don't give up drawing this comic, unless you have a brain fart that flattens your skull or something...your work will keep this cubicle crop duster sane...and I buy books/t-shirts/bumperstickers. (wink wink, nudge nudge) Thanks! Wow!
