This strip posed some hurdles for me.  Mainly with text placement.  I had to do a little creative spacing because I really didn't want to chop the dialog.  It's funny how much of a life dialog can give the comic.  I think that's why I've always been driven to good dialog over good art where my comic strips are concerned. 

I like how the second panel came out.   I still think the strip is a tad cramped but it works.
