Triple Take

Triple Take is an American comic strip by Todd Clark and Scott Nickel that featured three separate punch lines in each daily installment.

[1] Clark provided the majority of the writing with Nickel drawing the strip and contributing gags.

The idea for Triple Take came from the late Jay Kennedy, comics editor at King Features, who developed the strip with Nickel and Clark.

In 2005 press release, Kennedy commented, "What separates Triple Take from other comic features is that it delivers three different punchlines in one strip.

Ask any cartoonist who has labored all day on one punch line and they will tell you how difficult it is to create three ideas for one gag.
