As for this comic…

We get another glimpse into the happy world of Satan’s family life. And we’re officially winding down this rather lengthy story arc that started well over a year ago. Next comic, I think, will be the last in this particular saga. After that, I think I’ll take a break from narrative for a month or two and just run some one-off jokes – you know, the type the internet actually likes as opposed to this story-based stuff that’s sometimes like readership kryptonite.

Anyway, for those of you who followed through the whole of this most recent arc, I want to say thanks. It’s been fun stretching my plot muscles a bit.

Narrative strip comics are weird, really. They’re a sort of old-school challenge which is really archaic in today’s world. (It’s old old. I mean, Siegel and Shuster wrestled with it when they hatched Superman.) It’s vintage, but I really do enjoy it. It poses an odd dilemma: can you tell a sustained plot, broken up into bite-sized four-panel chunks, and hold the narrative together while also managing to make each individual strip exciting and/or funny, and, if at all possible, vaguely accessible to the first-time reader? I might not always succeed, but thanks for following along on my attempt.
