THIS IS TOP 5 JET PACK STRIP EVER. I never thought you would conquer the three panel strip so fast but you did it.

I want this one signed…we’ll talk. I’ll pull the old son & wife card.

Brandy, Santa basically IS a religous entity, is he not?

Another fantastic strip Jim. Fred’s voice came across just right in Panel 1.

My direction went a little ‘South’ with this strip. Even though Xmas and Santa have been well set up, when I first see Serial’s sign and his finger point skyward, I am thinking religion entity. Sorry about that.

@Jon and Scott: Thanks guys! I wasn’t sure if just using the ‘louder’ font would be enough to get that across or not. Actually, I was concerned this strip wouldn’t be one of my stronger ones. (it’s taking a while for me to learn to relax and let my comic do it’s thing.)

” I love how you managed to get at how stilted Fred’s voice is supposed to sound in panel 1.”

Yeah, I thought the same thing when I read it- you can really hear his voice trying to cover it up. It comes through. This three panel thing you got going right now is great. The height of the panels provides plenty of room for detail.

I love how you managed to get at how stilted Fred’s voice is supposed to sound in panel 1. The actions in panel 2 are terrific. Serial holding the sign in panel 3 is a great punchline. Jet Packs & Time Machines rarely fails to delight, but today’s is exceptional. Great job, Jim!

@MJ: Thanks MJ, I do what I can.

@me: The monkey did write the sign.

@tyler: something like that, yes.

@Scott: yeah, it was a tricky one to do… getting actions down isn’t that easy.

I agree with me!- panel 2 is rocks. Nice.
