It's going to get a little weird.

After being embarrassed by my own growling stomach in an 8:00 class one morning, I decided to turn it into material for the strip. Hey, inspiration can strike at any time, in any location, and even on an empty stomach. Yes, it's weird, but it's also original--I can't think of any other strip that did something like this before or since. Maybe there's a reason for that. Anyway, it was a fresh take on how I could get Patty to keep rejecting Bill. In this case, it was sheer repulsion.
