There's no reason not to do another if it is easy. That's all there is to it. You are lying to us or fooling yourself if you claim that as the justification for not doing another one. Running out of material is easier to believe, but considering that all it takes is crap jokes and weak humor, I'd say you're simply scared, too frightened to post another in case it doesn't come out as well as the last. Nothing wrong with that. But you have to admit it, whether you do another cartoon or not, or it will rot your brain from the inside. -- T.
