All things duck now lead to me thinking of Arthur. Anyone else expecting Dave to come up with a strip including Arthur and a yo-yo soon? In the murky depths of the future, I sense a future closing line "Must...watch...yo-yo..."

My favorite duck is still Howard, though--the original comic, NOT the movie.

oops. I accidentally voted anonymously. I voted explain in the comments, which is what I'm doing :D He will no doubt use it when he has exhausted this storyline, and has no idea what to do next. because, you know, it'd be too much a stretch to actually use Sheldon as the main character in his own comic!

Oh, come on, Yerk. Don't be bitter. It's not like other comic strippers haven't fallen victim to the same popularity issues. Think "Ernie" aka "The Piranha Club," or "Bloom County" aka "Opus." Sometimes you dance with the gal what brung ya, sometimes you dump her for the hot item everyone else wants to see you with.

Sheldon's a smart aleck and less fun to draw than Gramps and Arthur anyway. I admit, however, that DANTE has been missing for far too long. Sardonic but somewhat slow to rise to the bait...always funny.

Yerk:

Every creative person has that fan. The guy who believes that spending time enjoying the creative person's output means that he deserves input into its creation. I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that Michelangelo had to suck it up and lie there while Julius II made helpful suggestions like "Put a little static spark between their fingers! That'd be fun!" and "Adam. You don't think he looks a little... feygele?"

Don't be that guy, dude. Seriously.

I'm sorry guys, I was just having a bad day when I wrote those things. I don't even mean them. The comic is great. I'm really sorry.
