Generally, I don't like to do topical comics, though I suppose it could be argued whether or not taxes are "topical". But, for the most part, I tried to keep external events, like politics or fan community things, out of the comic. The way I see it, all the reader should need to know to enjoy a comic is what's happened previously in the comic. While this might be nearly impossible for syndicated comics, online comics generally make their archives available to read at any time, giving the reader a chance to catch up and understand all the self-referencing and running gags. Of course, there are a few exceptions to this rule of mine, like during holidays and anniversaries, which I consider something of a present to the fans and long-time readers. Also, occasionally if something rather significant happened, such as the server debacle of 2003, I made note of it in a comic to remind me what was happening in the real world at that time, like a time capsule. And for those of you who weren't around when these real-world events took place, the hope is that with this commentary you can follow along too and find out what was going on. For example, original readers, if there were any at this point, would have seen that in the original version of this comic, the floor was purple. Thank god that wasn't a trend I stuck with. And what was with the sometimes-open, sometimes-closed mouths? On a completely unrelated note, I'm pretty sure taxes weren't due on April 15th in 2000... |
