--- Quote from: Jeph ---Panel 1: Dora/Faye/Marten/Steve/Penelope/Wil/Sven say something. Another character looks on and maybe adds something.
Panel 2: Rebuttal by Dora/Faye/Marten/Steve/Penelope/Wil/Sven. Perhaps a 3rd character interjects.
Panel 3: Build up to witty remark
Panel 4: Witty remark.

Alternative style including Hannelore:
Panel 1: Dora/Faye/Marten/Steve/Penelope/Wil/Sven say something. Another character looks on and maybe adds something.
Panel 2: Rebuttal by Dora/Faye/Marten/Steve/Penelope/Wil/Sven. Perhaps a 3rd character interjects.
Panel 3: Build up to Hannelore being cute.
Panel 4: Hannelore does something cute.

Nah, I'm just messin with you Jeph, I still read QC.

jeph:
I don't really get why that would bug me. You can do that kind of "here is the formula for a joke" diagram with ANY comic. It's all variations on setup/punchline anyway.

Here's a sample script:


--- Quote ---1

Dora: Have you thought about getting more piercings?

Hanners: Not really. I'm happy with how many I have. It's an even number and I'm still
symmectrical.


2

Hanners: Well, not COMPLETELY symmetrical. My ears aren't perfectly parallel, and my
nose is a tiny bit crooked, and one of my eyes has a tiny bit more green in it than
the other.


3

Hanners: And my right foot is a little bigger than my left foot, and my left boob is
a little bigger than my right one.

And I have a scar on my left shin from when I ran into a metal table when I was a kid,
and a few moles in various places.

And of course my insides are all pretty much just crammed in wherever they'll fit.

3.5

Hanners: But other than that, yep! Pretty much bilaterally symmetrical!


4

Dora: Man, now I'm gonna spend the rest of the day wondering if my face is uneven.

Hanners: Want me to go get my calipers? We can quantify your imperfections!

Faye: My right boob sags a little more than my left. I call it The Underachiever.

I feel like this is the tag line for my life.


I didn't really think it would bug you, you come off as a really cool guy, but I didn't want to assume anything.

Coffee_Kaioken:
Umm, are we allowed to ask what's wrong with your life judging from your twitter?

celticgeek:
Jeph:  If you need time off, take it.  We will survive. 

Good luck, man. 

Iechyd Da!!
