The guys who write the online comic juggernaut Penny Arcade have started recording their brainstorming sessions where they plot out ideas for the next strip. You can hear the latest one here. You have to be a huge nerd to get even half of it, and a much bigger nerd than me (which would really be saying something) to get it all, but it's neat to see how a strip comes together. They wind up paying a lot more attention to pacing than I would have guessed. And in the end, they wind up throwing away everything they thought of in the first half. You can see the final product here.
But in either case, the first minute of the recording is hysterical. Go listen, I promise. "There are so many unanswered questions!"
