Assuming Steve didn't bump into Mr. Allosaurus. :(

I don't think Jeph is stringing us along so much as we are all putting a ton more thought and energy into analyzing the comic. All he can do is create it. In the act of reading it, we are doing at least a good half the work in interpreting. Each of us brings our own personal set of filters, beliefs, past experiences, and whatever else we have into play when we read something.
As for being pretentious, Jeph seems pretty committed to pleasing his audience as best he can.
I like getting into the meta aspects of the comic because it's a good time, not because I have big expectations from the creator. He does his bit, I do mine. If he does something I don't like, I stop reading -- no harm, no foul, no personal affront. He'll always run the risk of pissing SOMEONE off, just because there are so many of us and only one of him.

Nah, I don't think Jeph would do an argument just to troll us.
What he would do is post a Pintsize comic instead of continuing the storyline. :lol:

I'm good with that! I miss Pintsize!
It's one of the sad things about comics -- popular characters take center stage and good but secondary characters fade off or vanish completely. Like in the old Bloom County -- once upon a time there were all these adult characters like Cutter John and Bobbi Harlow and the General. Even the kids -- Michael Binkley, Milo Bloom, Oliver Wendell Holmes -- were cool. Then it became all talking animals . *sigh* Not that I mind talking animals per se, but it was good before they took over.
Yeah, I'm old.
