I'm not sure it worked either. (In a way, you have cheated by putting
the words "cuckoo" and "giggle" above Mandy's and Fanboy's heads.)

"We have so much in common it scares me." seems like the punchline.
making the last frame unnecessary. Perhaps you might move Mandy's and
Fanboy's reactions to that third frame (if you were open to editing
already published strip....)

Well, yes. Cheating is allowed; this is art. Also, it's storytelling.
Cheating is doubly allowed. Ooh, and it's a comic strip, so cheating
is triply allowed. Hmm, what else...

You just made that up. He might be apathetic or just indifferent for
all you know. :)

But that's not even remotely funny, so it's not.

I am, but I won't. :)

He might be. But I saw oblivion.

It's not even remotely funny the other way either, so it doesn't
matter. (I thought maybe this was one of the ones that wasn't supposed
to be funny >%^7^^^7^^)

Not even the ones where they break the fourth wall and blast each other's
heads off? :) Seriously though, you're right, I barely even smile while
reading most of them. However, some are pure genious.

I have just randomly gone through the archives (haven't found any
breaking 4th wall ones yet) and can definitely see the attraction. I
cracked a smile at several, smiled broadly at some, and even laughed
out loud at a couple of them. Nice clean drawings too.
