The first draft seemed not to have a point, but in the wrong way.

I didn't realise how much work goes into precisely calibrating the bulge of Ray's package

Achewood

Check his nipple placement over the years

Uncle Elephant

And yet said package makes no appearance in the eventual strip. Coincidence?

Achewood

I always need to have it at the ready, like how airplanes have those oxygen masks.

Buttermilk and tiddlywinks are not just old school, but ol' skool.

I'm intrigued by the allusion to Achewood-themed interactive fiction. A Mind Forever Voyaging was my gateway drug to reading Wordsworth (though that was a couple of years after 1983). The possibilities are, if not endless, vast.

Something about "Cornelius is getting on a flight" just tucked in at the bottom there is really resonating with me

Achewood

I played that game til it had no lines left. I’m glad there is no extant record of the commands I put to its engine.

Achewood

Maybe the best thing I ever wrote

Cornelius is boarding Southwest, C14. He curses the lumpenproletariat who trundle on ahead of him. It is Fuck You Friday.

Achewood

A featherlight baguette and a 3.4oz cruet of fine Galician olive oil are his only carry-ons.

I've always deeply appreciated Lazarus's dismissive "you know my politics."

Achewood

Who would play Lazarus in the movie

M. J.

Kelsey Grammer. David Hyde Pierce as Leopold.

Achewood

I was thinking the guy from American Psycho, but I do have a soft spot for those Crane boys, don’t you know.

Am I the only one that likes the ordering of the first draft better than the final? "Oblivion was just the hors d'oeuvre" is a killer closing line, in the classic style of a Smuckles goodbye: Unmistakable finality, but leaves you with something to contemplate.

I loved that and all of infocoms stuff. It is popular to refer to this as interactive fiction, IF, these days. There have been some very excellent modern things pushing boundaries, and it is very easy to recommend here, given the creators love of the English language and presumably anyone else who might read this, but Emily Shorts 'Counterfeit Monkey' is a great example, ( I hope I got that all right I'll try to hunt down a link that includes how to easily get those games and an interpreter up and running on any average phone)
