When we first talked about Niles and Nash, we both envisioned an Angriest Dog in the World kind of comic or maybe a Dinosaur Comics-type comic where the art stayed the same and we just changed the dialogue. That would have been fun, but it makes the writer’s job really difficult and the artist’s job really easy. Then I came up with the idea to make the writer’s job really easy and the artist’s job really difficult by making Bill draw any cockamamie thing I write, and I think we can all agree that was a better choice. Anyway, this is one of those strips that would have worked in the original format, and Bill still drew a whole crowd and everything.
This also might be the last moment in the strip that we could have gotten away with four static images, since I wanted to do a Harambe story right after this. Sorry, Bill!
