Grrrr. I want to rewrite this one every time I re-read it, but for a different reason each time. I think this is the most distilled way I can write this gag but it’s really hard to tell if it’s having the impact I intend it to. In an ideal world, I would have a focus group or something for when I don’t know if a gag is hitting or not. Or I could just show it to you all and if you didn’t like it, I could wipe your memories a la MiB.
Well, if you laughed, great. If not, it was the light of Venus reflected in swamp gas.
I thought it was at least if not more than somewhat humorous, in a risqué sort of way. Unfortunately, I now feel the urge to write a novice one-shot strip involving the phrase “Do Androids Sleep With Electric Sheep” (if your “Woodcarver” strip is any indication, the answer is “yes”).
