A Waste of Time

I’ve been waiting for a long time to draw this.

At this point, I’d mention very gently that, with a religious fundamentalist character, a robot character, a Capitalism-obsessed character, and an artist that happens to be myself involved in a drama involving xenobohobia, Pandemic panic, and drug trafficking, I might be trying to say something about something more than just a few cartoon animals. Of course I wouldn’t venture to say what exactly I”ve been trying to say, how successfully it’s been said, or anything like that, because none of that’s my place. I just want to kind of nod in that direction in case some people are wondering if they’re right to be reading all of this at a particular level.

It’s fun for me to finally get to this stuff, because I’ve known for a while now what was going to happen to Capitalist Pig when they cracked him open. I’ve also had an idea for a while what those two characters would do with the money, and what the fallout of the might be, so stay tuned. I actually have the vague outlines of a pretty epic long-term storyline for these characters, as well as knowing quite a bit about their history before these current comics, so it’s fun for me to finally see some of that coming out. Yep. I don’t plan to abandon the one-off strips, either, though, so this storyline stuff will hopefully be threaded throughout and who knows how long it’ll take to finish, but enjoy the ride.

Things begin to speed toward their harrowing conclusion.
