And the last panel is very Calvin and Hobbes-like, when they had the meeting of GROSS in a cardboard box. I love the shadows in the first two panels.

Nothing like making my fellow cartoonists quit just by tying to produce top notch strips.

If I hadn't decided to quit last week, this strip would have put the idea in my head to do just that. I have to agree, that this may be the best strip to date. SonofB**ch…

I have to agree, that this may be the best strip to date.

When I got to the bunker in panel 3, I realized what was going on, went back to panel 1, realized that was a flashlight that Serial was holding and suddenly it was hilarious. Brilliant!

The final image of the pillow bunker is such a kid thing. My daughter has the same one in her room. Good job! The shading and crosshatching is great in this one.

Now the bar has been raised... Talk about pressure! also, everybody likes the monkey... He's got to start making more appearances. @Scott: As to the plaid...here's where the advantage of working digital comes in... I use a digital brush called a rake, and set the size and distance of the bristles... So it's no harder than drawing stripes would be, except that you have to do it twice obviously. That being said, plaid is fine for a single appearance character or one time outfits, but it's still time consuming enough that I sure wouldn't put it on my main character. @Wit: Thanks!

My one burning question: was that plaid mattress in the last panel difficult to draw? I've always found plaid is a pain in the rear to draw. That's why none of my characters ever wear flannel shirts or kilts. Excellent work. My one burning question: was that plaid mattress in the last panel difficult to draw?
