Hello.
And the previous…
And the rest… (are here on Gilligan’s Isle)
There are a couple undeveloped ideas here, all of them minor, and after two months they probably aren’t getting developed so there’s no sense in fussing over them further.
By now I have forgotten what happens next, so surely you can imagine how enthused I am to look at the next layout and see how many needless, ill-defined objects I have already sentenced myself to making space for and drawing properly in the finished version.
ARRRRRRRRRRRGH! No one is safe!
An admirable pizza sez:
Surely the dope should at least have the decency to remain in the rubbish bin, where it naturally belongs? Also, the purple snake with the injured top hat ought to be a recurring character.
By the way, you would probably have an easier time cultivating/maintaining an audience for these if you realeased them in smaller pieces, yet more frequently.
Rinslid sez:
Yes, probably. I will see when the possibility of making such a decision comes. I do like having the extra time to go back and change things before anyone sees them, though I suspect I may be taking more time and changing more things than are necessary. I think that is true of quite a lot of things around these parts.
Snake: Should the hat receive treatment, or is its damaged state the primary interesting attribute?
dope: I do not know what of its past behavior has convinced you that any dope has any decency. There hasn’t been a waste receptacle yet which can contain such horrible foul dopeness.
An admissible piazza sez:
You can, of course, simply change things in secret, and later deny that they had ever appeared otherwise.
I think the hat deserves treatment. The top-hat-wearing snake is striking in itself; the fact that the hat appears to be injured is merely an amusing detail.
I had sort of hoped that dopes, despite their boundless stupidity, at least had a deep-seated instinctual awareness that they are, in fact, rubbish. Alas, only a madman has hope for a dope.
