Awww! Lookit the wittle blood splatter on his cute wittle face!

True when it was written back in 2006, probably even truer now.

Its an effective cure-all.

My notes for the original creation of this strip back in 2006 reveal the following:

“Some strips pretty much write themselves, while others emerge as a result of focused Brain Fist writing sessions. This week’s strip is an example of the latter and – I think – a pretty successful example. Sometimes when I have to actually sit down and make myself write an episode of BF, I worry about the outcome feeling a bit too forced. But in this week’s strip I’m particularly pleased with how well everything came together after the initial push.”

There’s nothing in my notes about the strip’s creation to support this, but I can’t help feeling there’s a bit of an “Ah Pook Is Here” influence on this one.
