MAD SPECULATION - New Comic?

<< < (2/4) > >>

DSL:
I think they're whatever Jeph says they are. Absent that, they're what he eventually shows us they are.

Loki:
New characters for either of his existing comics. On account of having two existing comics that fit the drawing style.

Ockham's razor. Please use it more often.

I'd read it.

DSL:
I don't think there's any call to rain on BenRG, thoigh I'm serious about starting his (I'm assuming he) own comic, or whatever form of fictive world. We've all done our share of speculation and hopes for the direction of the comic, evidently to Jeph's irritation. Hell, some of us in this thread alone collaborated on a guest comic.

I get the irritation on Jeph's part, having been on the receiving end of "hey, you oughta do a cartoon about ..." including from someone who (mistakenly) thought he was my boss in that regard. And though we all speculate, hope and even ship, BenRG, you put a level of effort and detail into yours that amount almost to instructions for Jeph, though I assume you don't mean them that way. I'm saying -- and I admit it started out as snark but I'm serious now -- if I were to put that much thought into a fictive universe, I'd want it to be my own and not someone else's.

Unless Jeph opens up his 'verses to franchise, a la Trek, Wars, Larry Niven's Man-Kzin Wars, Arthur C. Clarke's Venus Prime or Isaac Asimov's Robots and/or Foundation, in which case never mind anything I said.

TheEvilDog:
To be honest, I'm just going for one simple theory:
They're new upcoming characters, quite possibly new interns at the library. Emily, Claire and Gabby have finished up at the library, so presumably there's another group of interns coming in. Alternatively, they're students at Sam's school, considering that Sam is getting more "air time", so to speak.
 
I just can't see Jeph starting a new comic just yet. Seven comics a week, on top of his music, as well as the number of Cons and talks he's does, means that a third comic might be a little much.
