This is how I write down most of my Dork/M&C-type ideas. Not much drawing ever goes into it, if any, mostly dialogue or directions, paced out into panels. If there's a visual gag, then I'll sketch it.

These are Fun Strip ideas, mostly. The only one I used is at the bottom, about making D&D stats for monsters based on cartooning mishaps.

It's funny to see the joke about nerds making a violent Winnie-The-Pooh thing actually came to pass. Actually, not really all that funny. If you don't use a joke, sometimes you'll see someone else use it, or see it come to life without irony or criticism. A violent adaptation of Winnie-The-Pooh is a dumb joke I didn't think worth drawing in a single panel, and yet someone made an entire movie out of it. And I believe there's a sequel in the works. Unreal.

Anyway, here's where the magic gets made. Or the sausage. Most of the time it doesn't actually get made, and that's part of the process, as well.

Violent Winnie-The-Pooh. Cripes.
