Saaay... I thought you weren't gonna give us any more color Sundays? Well, it looks lovely, regardless. I like the front page: very clean, yet with a dash of fun; sort of like doing the laundry. Except it's absolutely nothing like that.<P>And the Skull is finally here! I was wondering when he was gonna show up. He looks awesome! You changed his look since last time, right? Well, he looks really badass. The close-up of his face was your best work to date, I think... scaaaaary!<P>Now, in the tradition of Pete from Funny Farm, I'm going to start making wild guesses about the Skull's true identity, despite knowing nothing about him, nor having yet been properly introdueced to many other characters within the strip.<P>It's easy, if you use logic: who do we know who wants to see Caroline dead?<P>Obviously, The Skull is <A HREF="http://kitsune76.keenspace.com/d/20001009.html" TARGET=_blank>her grandma.</A><P>------------------

Until I read this thread, I thought the skull was actually a big grinning rabbit. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/biggrin.gif">:P <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/wink.gif"><P>------------------

The Sunday strips will appear but only when the plot demands cos they're a bugger to draw on time.

Oh dear.
She (?) (the Skull) will start emulating famous web rabbits...
That's not good at all.

It looked like a rabbit to me too. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/frown.gif"><P>No one's mentioned it yet, but the Skull first appeared on October 18th, and stayed for every day of the rest of the storyline. (Unless it's just someone disguised as the Skull? <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif">)<P>Scribbling Girl also showed up on the 20th. Didn't do anything interesting, though.

I'd like to see more of Scribbling Girl, myself.<P>And Sel--don't get too depressed about the mistaken bunny. There's always something around to burst your artistic bubble.<P>When it came time to drop an anvil on JoBeth's head, my roommate at the time thought the anvil was an air conditioner. Couldn't for the life of me figure out where she got that idea. After all--what do you drop on the heads of cartoon characters? ANVILS!<P>Yeah! That's what this comic needs! More anvils!<P>------------------
My God<A HREF="http://www.jobeth.net" TARGET=_blank>--</A>It's full of stars!

You've learned that as you grow weaker there's <A HREF="http://www.jobeth.net" TARGET=_blank>less hurt</A> because there's much less to hurt.

Oh, don't say that! She'll do it, to. There'll be nothing but wall to wall anvils. She'll rename the comic Anvilosity. And then she'll get bored and make Buffy jokes.
