    Just so you know, (and in the interest of full disclosure) I have been geeeking out on my new iphone. I have downloaded copies of several DED strips.
    -when it’s in rest mode, I see Sophie and Doug sleeping on the moon
    -when my alarm goes off, It’s Sophie hanging from the clock
    -when my husband calls, “It’s Fried Chicken Night”
    -when my best friend calls, it’s “Scritch scrtich scrtch”
    -when work calls, “Jedi Mind Tricks are a load of bunk”
    Having waaaaay too much fun here !

    That’s so cool! How do they look on the iphone?

    Don’t want to nit-pick, but just to point out something I noticed: the letter “I” has serifs in the first three panels, but not in the next three. Not really noticable, I only spotted it because there’s “I”s (as pronouns) at the start of both lines in the last panel and I’m overly aware of these things. Not too long ago I just started using serifs for “I” as a pronoun and sans-serifs for every other instance.

    Funny strip, mind! I love how she starts off in the first panel.

    Awesome! I can scroll and scale so I get the exact panel I want to depict the personality of the person calling. (BTW, we’ve never seen Sophie go to the vet.) I’ll try to send you some pics through email when I get my holidays more under control.

    Nice!!! Can’t wait to see them.

    There were two or three vet strips last year. But I’m sure Sophie will be going back.

    Thanks Mark. I leave the caps lock on when I letter. Out of habit I hit the shift key on the Upercase I’s sometimes, which of changes it to the non-serif “I”. I try to catch it when I do it. Just need to get out of the habit.
