I thought it worked better with the speech bubble. If I were seeing this for the first time, I would only have a vague idea of what's going on, rather than knowing T-Rex ate his pa.
Yeah, I actually spent the better part of a day remastering the whole comic and cleaning it up so it would make nice hi res print... I should probably put a link to the old version somewhere for people to compare and contrast. In the end I felt like it worked better without the big bubble, but I could be wrong and I do have an annoying tendency to second guess everything. Sorry if I screwed it up for ya. I did get the prints of this one from the printer today, though, and I must say they're quite pretty. It might look a bit odd, but I suppose I could hand-write it back in for you up in the margin, if you want.
totally my favorite. oft-quoted in my circle. just read in the updates that print might become available...i would pay a quadrillion dollars for a print of this. a quadrillion. at least.
Unfortunately, I predicted the outcome well before the final panel (as I did with LEGO LYNCHING). The 1st thing I thought when I saw the T-Rex (well drawn BTW) was how it was going to to shoot its opponent with its tiny BBQ fork-like appendages?
Personally, I would have shown the guns being fired in a side profile silhouette. Then shown a frontal shot of the T-Rex holding its pistol out and gun smoke partially obscuring its torso. Next panel is the same picture, but now the smoke is wind blown away to reveal that the T-Rex's gun holster is attached to a modified lacey pink brassiere, with the caption: "As usual, first to draw was Pink Bra McGraw."
Perhaps I'll pass that idea onto Nicholas Gurewitch. :)
The only one I LOL'd at so far was the Boppin Mary Poppins, because clever surprise endings amuse me everytime.
P.S.- The only reason I came back to this site was beause Jeremy Kramer sent me a pleasant email explaining why a previous comment I made about TBK's similarities to PBF was removed from this site. Jeremy said he didn't mind the criticism and that the "comment section" was only for "comic specific" issues. He was also nice enough to point out that there is a forum thread already dedicated to my afforementioned reference. It wasn't necessary to inform me of my comment removal, but I thought it was classy of him to do so nonetheless.

Incredible "breaking" of the comic panel size convention for effect, too.

Even though I saw it coming... if it had ended any other way I would have just been disappointed.
This is the first time I've been to this site - I'm absolutely loving it!
