Screens


Benjamin Hobbs:

Two weeks ago I sent Dave six strips, five of which were included in LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY CORONA. This is the sixth:


Dave faxed some suggestions for rewriting this strip:



After reading his suggestions, I agree with Dave that the strip doesn't build to the punchline, although I disagree that the focus should be on the NUMBER of screens. There are several half ideas all crammed into one strip.  The ideas should have been spread out on a number of strips, focusing less on the number of screens, and more on the amount of screen time.

The finished strips will appear in future  Daily CIH?!

My ten year old son is reading Vol. One and just laughing his ass off. "Dad, look! A cockroach." Shakes his head.

Somebody tell Dave, if you talk to him.
