Look. Here's the
thing. When this was a one-off, new gag every day, no
real continuity strip, I had no need for characters to have names
unless it served the joke. And my main characters, as it turned out,
never had names. For the 10+ years they've existed. None at all.
Actually I think the first named character in this strip might have
been Crab McGraw when he first turned up, followed quite a bit later by
Cornelius the spacebear. I might've called the snake Mr. Snake or
something? I don't even think I did that. And here's the thing with
making this a slightly more serious comic, where there's continuity and
*sorta* character development, I realized at some point, some other
character was going to cause trouble and try to get names from my
dudes. I held off for a while at least, but it's time to pull this
band-aid off.
Anyways. I need some suggestions. Quick! I'm not
saying I'm
actually going to use what you send me, I've got a few ideas and
they're not necessarily going to get named Monday, or even next week,
but I'd like to hear some of your ideas. HOWEVER. If somebody does send
me an idea that I love, you totally get a shirt. Or, if you have both
shirts, which I doubt, I'll send you something else. I don't know what,
but it'll be awesome in some fashion or another.
So! Get on it! And have a great long weekend, if
you've got a long
weekend! OR if you don't have school or work whatsoever, then screw
you! Get a job, hippy!
