Sometimes you need more than three panels to create a funny strip.  And I love doing these multi-panel gags.  It’s a nice change of pace.  The challenge, however,  is squeezing everything into a limited space.  And it’s disappointing having a really funny idea, but requiring so many panels, that’s there’s no way to draw it up.  There’s simply no way to fit it all in.  In this particular strip, I was lucky.  The idea was mostly visual.
