3D extruded text with strokes on extrusion edges

Hello! I came across this post by Mat Voyce on Dribbble and was wondering if anyone has some insight on how he could have done this on AE. When you color the extrusion sides, you can't have strokes on the edges like he does in this example. I assume it must be a combination of effecs and compositions with different settings, but I couldn't figure it out. Any ideas?

You can extrude shape layers. Select your Text layer and go to Layer/Create/Shapes from Text. Fiddle a bit, and you can get this in about two or three minutes. The top copy has the stroke turned off, additional extrusion, and an anchr point shift.

I'm not sure if I was clear, but the part that I can't figure out are the strokes, the cartoon effect that the letters have. In your example there are no strokes around the letters and on the edge of the extrusion.
