titled "Bathroom Break", this one was drawn in late november 2007. i think the basis of the joke came from a conversation between a couple while i was in the car with them (someone obviously taking a long time in the w.c.). i thought the idea possibilities were endless for what the male character in this episode could be doing in there. ultimately, i stuck with the card game because my other ideas, however funny, were too bizarre and unbelievable even for a comic strip.
the dialogue and punchline (specifically) went through a number of revisions from friends and family, but the more advice i got, the more the idea started to change into something else. the perfect saying would be "too many cooks in the kitchen." in the end, i decided to stick with the original wording and i think it works just fine.
i used the ankle shot for the wife, because this scene somehow reminded me of Tom and Jerry/Warner Bros. cartoons - you only saw up to the lady of the house's calf while she was instructing tom to watch the baby while she was gone or something. the amish must have loved those scenes with all that exposed ankle. if they had a televisions.
