I had some things to say about this comic, but I’m at a complete loss for any of it.
Oh, I remember part of it now! I’m not sure what direction I want to go with this comic. Normally, I run outlandish stories either in parallel universes (say, Mary and Joelle: Paranormal Detectives) or I let the lobster carry the story, since he’s an oddity anyway. Here, I’ve introduced something commonly accepted as impossible (time travel) and woven it in to the common story. There’s plenty of ways to avoid having to deal with it in the future, but I am more interested in what it means for future story lines. Do I continue to run odd stories in parallel, or do I let the strip itself break natural laws and keep everything in one narrative? So far I’ve kept the strip subject to the common interpretation of how the world works (taking a few legal liberties), and I always thought I’d do that. Now, who knows…
Of course, it’s really not an important question. Not by any stretch of the imagination. It’s just an example of the things I think about.
