Who's Your Daddy

Another in the vein of things that sound like other things. There is a cafe near us called Hoosier Cafe in which I have twisted the name in my mind to the other words. Today, Mr. Blue and Mr. Green are facing the same confusion.

Solder

Now come on. You must admit solder has an interesting pronunciation. Then. like so many other English words, it is different than other words with similar spellings. So, my mind started to pursue that connection.

Magician Minister

This idea came from my wife, who suggested that the cloth bags with handles used for offering looked like magician's bags. The tricky part to completing this comic was finding the best statements for Mr. Green in panel two. He needed to sound like he actually might have figured out Mr. Blue's reasoning before working towards the punch line.

Reading the Movie

Anytime there is a book made into a movie, comparisons are bound to be made. And the nature of the book almost always means there is material left out because it does not translate well into visual images. Today's strip talks about how a movie inspired someone to read more about it. OK, they did not go all the way to the book, but some reading is better than none, right?

P90X

P90X is a tough workout. Luckily,we took a break over the holidays. We are definitely going through the water bottles, though. So you can tell where the inspiration for this came from.

Not Richard Simmons

Well, we did start doing P90X this week, so that is where the idea came to do a strip about it. I sat down to write it this morning and mentioned Richard Simmons in one of the panels. Then suddenly, I was creating a different strip than planned because I wanted to build on the Richard Simmons comment. My original idea will come out next week.

Coffers

This cartoon came up in exactly the way you might imagine. I actually heard someone mention needing to fill their coffers the other day (hmm, it could have been in the office or on the radio, I cannot remember). Anyway, when I heard it, I imagined people coughing, which then led me to think it might be a clever CoV, which then led me to think about smoker's cough.
