How to End Your Comic Strip
There it is. I predicted that it would take around six years to rerun them all, and I was right. This is nothing short of a triumph for my ability to perform basic math.
You still have my gratitude.
So, now that I’ve rerun them all with comments, what will I do with the comic strip now? The answer is, “Something.”
Will I post them all again, this time without commentaries? Maybe with different commentaries? Or maybe I’ll write new commentaries commenting on the old commentaries?
Or, will I do . . . something else?
Please keep checking the site and see!

How to Make Peace
Way back in the mists of time, I participated in more than one roast. I was always surprised how few of the comedians ever bothered to actually write new material specifically about the person being roasted. Most of them seemed to just go up and do their usual act with some half-hearted segue to make it seem like the bit you’d seen them do a million times was somehow about the person being honored.
I thought about that while I was watching a documentary about the comedian Bob Einstein (A.K.A. Super Dave Osborne). He is the brother of Albert Brooks. Their father was a well-known comedian way back in the day. Bob Einstein swore he would never go into comedy after attending his father’s funeral, because Milton Berle got up, and instead of actually saying anything about the deceased, just did his act.
I wish I found that hard to believe.

How to Create a Compelling Villain
I don’t ever specify if the Emperor’s parents are dead or not. I could have made the Emperor deal with his controlling mother and disapproving father. Even if he kept them imprisoned, they could’ve constantly been browbeating him about the quality of their guards and cages.
”Rocket Hat wouldn’t lock his parents up like this. No, he’d do it right!”

How to Show Character
The Emperor of the Moon is trapped in a repeating pattern that makes his own life much less pleasant, but he seems unable or unwilling to take the minimal steps needed to break the cycle.
As I write this comment, one of our cats is walking back and forth on my desk, intermittently blocking my access to my keyboard and my view of the monitor. She does this every day, and I never kick her off of the desk.
I’m just saying, I drew the Emperor to look like Rick, but there’s more than a little of me in him as well.
