Half wiggly - exercise kick2: I RUSH THROUGH MY STRIPS. MY ADHD QUICKLY INSPIRES MY CREATIVITY. Half wiggly - exercise kick2: BUT IT ALSO MAKES ME MISS EASY MISTAKES AND GRAMMATICAL GAFFS.

CL_Happy - A: SINCE I HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH OCD AND ADD, I MIX IT UP! CL_Happy - Snark!: FOR EASY SHORTER STRIPS, I MIGHT JUST TYPE THEM IN AND THEN DO ROUNDS OF EDITS AFTER I PROOFREAD. CL_Happy - Snark! Point: SOMETIMES I DO IT IN REVERSE. I COPY TEXT FROM A DIALOGUE BALLOON, PASTE IT INTO OUTLOOK, CL_Happy - So what?: AND THEN REPASTE IT BACK INTO A BALLOON. I'M A MEDIOCRE SPELLER AT BEST.

Sr. Mary Catechism - normal: OF COURSE MY STRIPS ARE INSPIRED FROM UP ABOVE... Sr. Mary Catechism - happy: …FROM A COMPARTMENT OVER MY BED. THAT’S WHERE I STORE MY GUINNESS. Sr. Mary Catechism 45 - scared: I HAVE TO KEEP IT STASHED BECAUSE OF MOTHER SUPERIOR. SHE’S A LUSH, YOU KNOW. A REAL SOT!

CL_Happy - A: AWESOME REPLY, CARLHERNZ! BUT YOU JUST MADE A MISTAKE I'VE DONE BEFORE. CL_Happy - Excuse me?: POSTING A REPLY THAT IS GOOD ENOUGH TO STAND ALONE AS A STRIP! CL_Question - Psst: I'VE ACTUALLY SECOND-GUESSED AND YOINKED REPLIES SO THEY COULD BE STRIPS!

Carl Hernz 302 - happy: GOTCHA...I DID GET ADVICE FROM A FEW COMIC CHAMPS FROM THE PAST. "APPROACH IT LIKE YOU WOULD A DETAILED SCRIPT," THEY TOLD ME. Carl Hernz 304 - happy: "IF IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE READING IT IN SCRIPT FORM, IT WON’T WORK IN PANELS." THIS INCLUDES GOOD SPELLING AS WELL! Carl Hernz sin Kitty - disgusted: AND YEAH, TOO OFTEN MY REPLIES WILL COME OUT LIKE JOKES. I WAS A STANDUP COMIC FOR A FEW YEARS... Carl Hernz w Kitty - disgusted: AND STILL WALK AROUND LIKE THERE’S A MIC AND AUDIENCE IN FRONT OF ME. AH, TO JUST HAVE OCD TO WORRY ABOUT!
