Page description: Charlie tries to smile at Nick to cheer him up, but when it doesn't work, he does what any good dog does, and that is, he licks his master's face and demands to be petted. And to Nick's chargin, it works wonderfully.
Writer/Creator Commentary: Matt noted that he drew it that Nick did not want to pet Charlie, but instead likes it anyway. I used to have a dog named Daisy, and she was a wonderful dog. It is why I, and she made me feel this way, that dogs are much better than cats for one important reason. Out of all the cats I know, I only know 1 cat (Duke rocks btw) that when you come home from a rough day of whatever the world spews at you, he just wants your love. And sometimes, that's important, because, and you may think it's cos they are simple compared to cats, but really? That is all I need after a rough day. To give love and have love returned. With cats it's usually like, "I wanna pet you cos I had a rough day" and they are all like "don't touch me". And then later when you are busy doing something, they are all "pet me pet me" and when you finally DO break down to pet them, they are now again doing the whole "don't touch me" thing. Just very frustrating. I rather just have the frustration of my dog wanting constant love and attention… I can deal with ADD. :)
I had a private quack for why the lack of dialouge. For those who know me well or followed the comic, know I am a HUGE TMNT fan. (don't believe me? For those who don't know what TMNT is, it stands for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. When "City At War" in the original TMNT comic book came out, the first issue was nothing but silence, all 'storyboards' but in a comic book. Seriously, there were like 4 panels in a 32 page book worth of text. And it was cos of a news report. And for a comic with little to no dialouge, specially about giant mutant turtles? Yeah, it was very good. I always wanted to do that, and I knew this last chapter could do that. I always like these quiet moments, and I have plans to do them again in the future… until next update (which may be a while as I don't have any more pages from Matt yet)…
And for the record… Charlie is nuttin' like Brian. At least, not in my opinion. Or maybe I just dislike Family Guy enough 90% of the time to take that not as a compliment…
