18 - Motivation

It’s still Thursday in Sweden so… HA! I’m still “on schedule.”

My husband says that the exercise she does in panel 4 is called “Hitler’s dog.” Is it wrong that I find endless amusement in that?

    Nice! The dialogue and face-down image in first panel cracks me up. Imy’s friend looks evil in the last panel.

    Now I want to see the strip with her unable to outrun the rabid chihuahua. From the look on her face in the third panel, it had to of been one heck of a story…

    Just the motivation I need to hit the gym today.

    I don’t even wanna KNOW why they call it a Hitler’s dog.

    Scott: Thanks! Yes, she has that evil “haha I know how to get you to do anything” grin :D
    Bio: Hmmm…. interesting….. perhaps she’ll have to have another meeting with said chiuaua…

    Ally: Hehe! Been chased down by rabid chihuahuas too?

    wit: I realize now that taking the easy way out on her front hand takes away the whole “hitler’s dog” idea… so I fixed it. Now maybe you can see why it’s called Hitler’s dog? It’s not as bad as you think! :D

    great episode. :D

    Okay, see now you made me try that exercise…and I can’t do it. I will hold down Imy’s friend while Imy sics the rabid chihuahua on HER! :D

  8. Irma | February 10th, 2008 | 3:55 pm

    tbowl: Thanks!

    Leslie: Haha! I actually haven’t tried it myself, isn’t that weird? I’ve just seen other people do it! And, by the way, have you noticed something about Imy’s friend?? :D

  9. tbowl | February 10th, 2008 | 7:05 pm

    I don’t notice anything. :( But what’s great about your episodes are that I don’t mind coming and seeing the same episode 2 or 3 times a week. :D

  10. Irma | February 10th, 2008 | 7:19 pm

    tbowl: Oh that “noticing” thing was specifically targeted to Leslie. No one else would notice what I mean except her.

    But thanks so much for that! That was really nice to read. Good to know that people like my comic enough to not get tired of seeing the same one for a few days :)

    Hehe. Actually I just stop and read your same episode that’s up every time I come to your site… A lot of comics you read them once, and they’re kinda done for. But not yours!!! :D

    “And, by the way, have you noticed something about Imy’s friend?? :D”

    Hmm….well, my reaction when I saw her the first time was, “Oh my gosh! I’m a cartoon! Sweet!” But then I thought, “Only a conceited person would see themselves in someone else’s work.” Then my sister was like, “Hey Les, I saw you on the Imy cartoon.” So I wasn’t the only one! lol!

    So now is when you say, “No, you conceited dufus, I was talking about her shoe!” or something like that. haha

    But hey, whether she is modeled after me or not, girlfriend’s got awesome hair! :D

  13. Irma | February 11th, 2008 | 3:23 pm

    ROFL! I was just WAITING for you to say something about it the first time I drew her in, and you didn’t. Then the next time.. and the next… and I was thinking “either she doesn’t see it, or she’s too unsure to say something about it!”

    When I first drew her I didn’t know how Imy’s friend would look. She went through about 6 different hair styles. And in my head I just kept coming back to you! In the end, I think I made the right choice :D

  14. Leslie | February 11th, 2008 | 9:44 pm

    Awwww… My hair is famous now! And when you are syndicated and too famous to do Oprah then maybe I’ll go on Oprah and tell her all about the first time me and you met, then I will take her around Stockholm and show her all the places we were together. Oh and Oprah’s gone love a 7-11 brownie! lol

    Hey I made a comment the first time Imy’s friend appeared–but somehow it didn’t post. Of course it couldn’t be that I am computer challenged or anything. ( BTW–I am Leslie’s Aunt)
    And I really like Imy–she’s very funny.

    Yep looks just like Les! Hey Les can I have a lock of your famous hair???
    Oh and Irma,the actual name that goes on the birthday cake is : Lisa
