Okay, it’s like this:

I was torn, when I decided to play with this particular meme, between what became Thursday’s comic and the seed of what I used for today’s. Last week I chose the more accessible rendition because sometimes you need to play to your audience.

I then decided to go with this rendition as well… because sometimes you need to do what you find entertaining. Since the “Venus Prime” books have been staring at me from the new bookshelf for a while now, I was inevitably going to end up doing this anyway… so here you are. I think it worked out rather well, especially since I got to turn Neil’s confusion into a running joke.

(Sorry, Neil.)

Here’s the thing, though: I successfully strung three comics together, two of them using the same meme. Can I manage to transition from this to yet another riff…?

Two Hundred Ninety Nine

Every now and then I must challenge myself. This one involved finding a way to prop up the purple duck in such a way that he didn’t look too much like he was leaning against the desk edge (he wasn’t) but without giving away the propping materials themselves. After some experimentation, I balanced him on a book (to give him the necessary height off of the keyboard shelf) and a small flashlight (to get the correct angle so we could see his face in the shot as he “fell.”)

And yes, that means he actually fell an even shorter distance than Roger claims. See what happens when we peel away the curtain and reveal how the movie magic works?

Also: I know. I changed the dialog from the movie, just a bit. I couldn’t find a way to introduce Roger and Neil and work some proper blasphemy into mix, other than maybe having the ducks argue the relative merits of David Lee Roth versus Sammy Hagar in Van Halen. Something like that would’ve entailed a wall of text, and I’d have lost my closing panel. (I adore that closing panel, I don’t care what anybody else thinks. So there.)

Also also: When you’re done here, maybe you should check out 300 in Fifteen Minutes. I do believe you’ll find yourself some funny in there, if you like poking well-meaning fun at movies.

…

I could’ve gone for tax-related humor for April 15th, but coming up with something funny about the federal revenue system would’ve been too taxing for my feeble mind. So you get my take on an overused movie meme, instead. Lucky you, eh?

(Taxing. Hah.)

Mostly this just was an excuse to use one of the new ducks I’ve picked up lately.

Oh, who am I kidding? This was an excuse to use Bob again. I just love a character that I don’t have to write actual dialog elements for…
