Hmm, good question, why did I stop? It wasn't because I had run out of ideas. I had enough at that point to continue the storyline for at least three months, or so. And I would have had new ones at the time. - The garbage can, talking in morse code, sitting in the passenger seat like those Navidroids in Star Wars. - Lance corporal H., dispatch runner. - The man-eating giant rodent. - The Kaiser. ("What is thy bidding, mein Herr." "Don't worry, he's cool about seeing him with no clothes on. Just don't say anything if he claims he's invented the telephone.") And I was just about to move into Keenspace with them, too. But they were a lot of work to do, which I didn't notice while I was still in the flow of things. Brilliant minds are, as a rule, also fairly unreliable when it comes to the day-to-day grind. That's why the United Feature Syndicate contractually requires of its artists to be at least seven weeks ahead with their daily cartoons. I did mine at the same day that I posted them. If I ever start them up again I'll probably hoard them for a few weeks before I release them, one at a day. But I'll do one tomorrow--the one that I had planned at the time to be the next one anyway. "Fat Lady exploding?" That quotation isn't even my idea. I found it in news:alt.humor.best-of-usenet one day. It's more to do with how the idea started out than with how it's supposed to end. http://home.t-online.de/home/ulrich.schreglmann/redbaron/Space%20Opera.txt At least such an ending never occurred to me.
