There are countless movies and stuff based on the book. One modernized version features Bill Murray and is called "Scrooged". There's also some kind of musical version with Kelsey Grammer (Frasier), Jason Alexander (George from Seinfeld) and Jennifer Love Hewitt. And of course, the Muppets have their own version. Oh, and then there's of course Scrooge McDuck, the uncle of Donald Duck. But for the record, Charles Dickens was British. -- OO Joaquim G�ndara .||. http://www.Nerd-Boy.net bb jg

But it is a good one. Although I thought it was over at the 3rd
panal. Were you trying to reinforce the joke? Or was this one meant
to have more than one punch line?

The strip is supposed to be mildly amusing all the way through, with no actual punchline. The first panel is mildly amusing because of its anticlimax, where present Nerd Boy abruptly dispels the "Christmas carol" reference. The second is mostly a bridge of exposition, but mildly amusing because Nerd Boy keeps insulting himself. The third might draw a tiny chuckle since Nerd Boy proves to be stupid, and the fourth was meant to be an extrapolation of that: Since he got it in the past, how come he doesn't understand it now? The fourth panel was also meant as a reversal; present NB goes from mocking to being mocked. Anyway, it was a bit of a rushed job. -- OO Joaquim G�ndara .||. http://www.Nerd-Boy.net bb jg
