"Beating the Dead Notes"
for Monday , December 13 , 2010

      There is an old saying. Clothes make the man. That is just plain stupid. I might say showers keep jobs, but then I might have to become a lowly horoscope writer. Really, the saying should go clothes make you not naked. If clothes make the man then what makes the woman? No clothes? So really, this statement could be said to be the epiphany that man likes to look at nude women. Science marches on.

   This week starts a new format for the strip, and afforded me a healthy rant about the virtues of the metric system. The update schedule will stay the same for now. Without making promises, which has seemed to work for me, I am looking to get you more strips sooner. I will either get more strips up sooner by the end of the month, or return to the older format. Nothing to lose, and everything to gain. Good thing I don't run Las Vegas. Although, Jabby looks to be a frequenter of the Vegas strip.

   Quite frankly, he needed a change. When I started this strip I had the simple idea that 3 friends had an apartment, and all the money they could ever need to do anything. Nice easy setup, but it has the problem that anytime I tried to do anything more than a gag I found myself writing a space opera. Ultimately, money has very little to do with most experiences, and isn't a nessecity for most jokes or storytelling. Gone. It is actually kind of nice knowing that, aside from bills, how little money actually has to do with the things I do. It's also a little funny knowing that how much Jabby IS affected by the loss of money. Maybe some day he'll become a real boy.
