1 Shakespeare: {at his desk} This Harry Potter fan-fic is going nowhere.
2 Shakespeare: I need a new avenue for my writing. If only I could find someone who would pay me to write.
3 Shakespeare: Aha! This e-mail looks promising.
4 Shakespeare [reading]: "WRITERS! LOOKING FOR A NEW OPPORTUNITY TO USE YOUR SKILLS?! WORK FOR THE NIGERIAN FINANCE MINISTRY IN INNOVATIVE REVENUE-RAISING APPLICATIONS!"

This idea is originally from zem. The only thing is, he expressed it the other way around, beginning with the Nigerian Finance Minister. I thought about it for a while and realised I could turn the joke around and start with Will. Hey, I thought to myself, I could get two strips out of this!

Then I wrote the scripts and realised that each one would give away the punchline of the other. And the panels couldn't be in chronological sequence. So here's the strip from the other side, as a special bonus strip for today:

Now, you'll notice that the chronological sequencing of the panels is:

1. Nigerian Finance Minister panels 1, 2, 3.
2. Will panels 1, 2, 3, 4.
3. Nigerian Finance Minister panel 4 (Will typing).

And, you can see that either strip by itself would stand alone well enough, but that its existence precludes the other strip from occurring later in the story.

I think this is quite an interesting occurrence in theoretical comedy. Or something. Hey, indulge me, you got a bonus strip today!
