    Repeated stabbing to the chest, and the blade nowhere to be found. Obviously a suicide.

    Man, that Bob is a real jerk! But he’s thorough.

    Also, the blood arrow is a nice touch.

    I really really like the lighting on this one. All the shadows and the difference between the night and day panels. Excellent.

    And the joke is awesome too :)

    Thanks for your comments, gang!

    @Harulth: Hah, yeah. I thought about adding the knife in the last panel, sticking out of his back, but I wasn’t sure if that would actually make it any funnier.

    @Teddy: Wow, thanks! I’m super glad you liked it!

    @Luke: Thanks! I originally planned to use a magnet there as well, but I opted for a lazier(?) solution in the end.

    @-2!: Heh yeah, that made me chuckle. Also, now I see it would perhaps be funnier if I substituted “bread” with “oreos” or something, which would make just the thought process of constructing that shopping list pretty hilarious. :D

    @Rob: Cool! Yeah, I was pleased with the addition of the shadow in the first two panels, which made it possible to fit all the events in 4 panels, or even just 3 if you remove the somewhat unnecessary third panel. I think I first thought of this strip as a 6-7 panels thing. Also, the night-time ambiance is quite simply added by having a layer on top set to “color” in Photoshop, then drop the opacity for the desired effect.

    Where did he get the third “o”?

    @brenoe: Duh, he obviously went out and bought an additional set of fridge magnets.

    Since we being all smart-assy about the magnets, I was wondering who keeps changing around the letters at the very top!

    Have you been sneaking in my house and reading my murder journal?
