Thanks for all the feedback guys! Sorry for the lack of responses, but I just got done with a move across the country and haven’t been keeping up with things like I should.

Guess that would explain the atomic rings thing. But having to look that hard for it doesn’t make it funny.

Excellent strip, Jim. Just…excellent. Johnny’s rant into the camera in panel three is wonderful.
me! (pd guy) and Eric - have a closer look. My impression is that the driver IS still in the wreckage, and the swirling whatnot is actually over his head. Check back to the previous strip and take note of the big cap he is wearing - I’m that’s it on the ground there, with a head still under it.

A Plus on today’s comic, Jim. Really great and funny. Ya know, I could see a comic strip revolving around Sanderson. I smell a spin off.

Nice one. The hat over the helmet cracks me up.

Hey Jim,

I just really like the strip.

me!’s comment got me looking more closely at the first panel. I see what looks like the classic swirling whatnot of someone dazed or unconcous, but I don’t see the guy either.

In panel 4, I would have changed that comma to a period in Johnny’s line “.. after the break. Later in the program…”

Just curious, did you wrestle with whether to place Johnny on the left or the right in that panel? It’s funny as is, but it looks like it would have been funny the other way as well (I think).

“Cheese and pepperoni-based tragedy”. =D

I like panel 2. Sanderson has the classic look of the Muppet’s newsman. How does the camera bot get around? (one note - there’s a cord on the cambot in the silhouette that does not appear in the previous panel). Mighta been funny in panel 1 if the driver was among the rubble, showing Johnny’s complete lack of giving a crap.

I really enjoyed this one. I think your writing is getting considerably better with every strip. That comment is not to put down any previous work, but I can see your thoughts being better articulated and your punch lines being more direct. Now for my one complaint…..What’s with the limited backgrounds in three of the four panels? I was expecting more art in panel two. It looks great as is, but you have gotten us used to more backgrounds.

Great again, though this time not my facorite to date. Is Fred’s comment in panel four (well, his only comment) a “note to self” or directed at Adam? It’s funny either way.
