Notes: Probing Questions

This weeks cartoon went up a little later than usual. Which is annoying because it was ready on time, but my Eircom Broadband went AWOL.

Anyway, it's up now. It took us longer than usual to get this one right (if indeed we have!), myself and Bif were furiously Skyping yesterday going back and forth and arguing over sentence structure and all kinds of things.

Luckily, at the last minute, Bif had a flash of inspiration and came up with a different slant to the wording which made it all happen.

You see, we were working on a text that involved the rather laboured fact that 'a meteor is the visible path of a meteoroid' (see wikipedia entry on meteors). However this meant that the illustration, for best effect, had to be a meteoroid with no visible path. And that just didn't look as good. As you can see on the left.

Luckily Bif had a 'think outside the box' moment and realised that we were labouring under an unnecessary burden and he came up with the text you see today.

The result is one I'm happy with - it's a bit different looking for us - mostly because we pretty much always have people in our cartoons. It almost looks odd not to have people in a BifSniff cartoon.

So there you have it, this weeks tales of misadventure in BifSniffLand...
