0161b — False Starts to an End (Patreon)

Knowing when and how to put a bow on a big ol' story arc is a lot like finishing a painting: only you can tell when it's done, and since paintings and story arcs aren't pizzas and hamburgers, completion is a fuzzy proposition. One thing I like to do is either have the protagonist(s) burn down a massive underground annual combat event, or fly away separately in jets — one in shame, one in riches.

We now return to what I expect will be many months of fun, one-off gag strips...until I get cocky again, and send the crew on another open-ended journey which starts out as an obvious moral quest but ends up with somebody inheriting a failing mayonnaise company in Mexico and learning nothing.
