Beck-tastic

Props to one of outr most under-used characters, and the only female able to cope with the rest of the guys, Becky. I really like this strip because its the first one to shed Becky in a good light. Before she was always the angry girlfriend, but now we see more of how well she gets along with everyone, and it's really chuck being an idiot that eventually gets to her. The fact that Nate and Ryan like Becky so much, I think, really helps the reader like Becky more. I also like this strip alot because it was one of the first to focus on multiple overlapping jokes rather than the set-em-up-knock-em-down punchline style of most comics, and really, most of our comics up until this point. I don't think that it's until the "prank-war" storyline that we really figure out how to use this right.

Its important to note, that our comics are much funnier and sound more like our actualy real life dialogue the faster their read. We work without a laugh track. If you can't keep up, you miss jokes, sucker.
