This strip established Jeff as the Eternal Party Boy, while we see Murf in #3 as rather bookish. Autobiographical, definitely. If I originally intended Murf and Jeff as the odd couple stars of the strip, it didn't turn out that way.
Of these first six strips, number one had to come first because Jeff moved in. Number six I wanted last for reasons you will see. The others played on the fundamental oil and water relationship of Jeff and Murf. Until I got the basic gags down on paper that defined the characters and relationship, additional characters were not required. Not quite yet.
