Strip #145

Notes, Thoughts, &c.
Lewis's Notes
The most awesome occupation I ever said I wanted to be when I grew up was "Puppy Dog." This is awesome for three reasons:
First, puppy dogs are objectively awesome.
Second, puppy dog isn't a career, it is a type of animal, but I wasn't going to let that stop me.
Third, and most importantly, my goal, as a child, for when I grew up, was to be the canine equivalent of a child. So, my goal was to not so much grow up and get a job, as turn into a dog that was roughly the same age as me.
So much for childhood dreams.
Ben's Notes
Not many people know this, but I have secretly been using the constraint of never photographing the same gamepiece twice. This means that in order to complete today's strip alone, I needed four different copies of Clue. Even though you can't see Sid in the first panel, I had a piece offscreen representing Sid being on the bus. Since the bus windows aren't opaque, I counted bus shots as including Sid, even though, technically, the camera didn't capture him.
I wrote Ben's comments today. -Lewis
