Dave and I thought everyone would get a kick out of seeing a behind the scenes look at how monkey house strips get written. Here’s the email convo between Ray, Dave, and Myself. (Also, I didn’t get it at first either, so an explanation may help.<\/p>\n
——<\/p>\n
Do we have a one off strip to run on Thursday?\u00c2\u00a0 I’d prefer to start the new story arc on a Tuesday.\u00c2\u00a0 I can try and come up with one if we got nothing in the coffers.<\/p>\n
-Ray<\/p>\n
Maybe Tom is working on my sin city one!
\n-Dave<\/p>\n
How about a one-panel?
\nmoe) Opa!
\nderek) It’s just not the same with Kraft slices.
\n-Dave<\/p>\n
i don;t get that one.
\n-Ray<\/p>\n
Opa is what you say when lighting saganaki – the greek flaming cheese.
\nbut they use a special cheese.<\/p>\n
I’ll let tombo break the tie<\/p>\n
-Dave<\/p>\n
ahhh ok, i get ya now.\u00c2\u00a0 We can do that, but i’d like to stretch it out to a full 4 frames.
\n-Ray<\/p>\n
I don’t care. The easier the better. I’m crazy busy with work, schoolwork, kids in school and new dog.
\n-Tom<\/p>\n
I kind of like it 1 or 2 panels, but maybe that’s just because I’m efficient!
\n-Dave<\/p>\n
what about this;<\/p>\n
PANEL 1: Moe, ‘Hey, I’m getting ready to make some saganaki, want some?’\u00c2\u00a0 Derek, ‘Sure’.
\nPANEL 2: Moe shakes pan around
\nPANEL 3: Moe pulls out a match (Is that how they light it?)
\nPANEL 4: Moe, ‘Opa!’ Derek, ‘You know it’s just not the same with Kraft singles.’<\/p>\n
-Ray<\/p>\n
It’s great
\n-Tom<\/p>\n
I still like my single-panel version, so if you’re busy, you can run an abbreviated one
\n-Dave<\/p>\n
(Tom decides to compromise and make a 3 panel strip. SUCK IT BEOTCHES!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
