cake

Original Commentary

I wrote most of this comic yesterday but I couldn't come up with a good second plan for Kimberly. I had the snappy comeback in the last panel, but I needed something to lead up to it. I read the comic out loud to Isabel and she came up with it on the spot - that she should bake the cake at a really low temperature. It's been a while since I wrote a comic, looked back on the script, and thought it was funny. (Because surprise is a key element of humor and it's difficult to surprise yourself.) It's a good feeling - Terrence

Modern Commentary
Oven logic! I really like this comic, but I think the punchline could've used just a little more punch.

You'll notice that she didn't even pre-heat the oven. Kimberly never stood a chance. "She wants to do something nice for Brisbane but doesn't quite know how" is kinda her thing. - Terrence
