             Okay, at this point, I'm finally actually getting into the first 
             story arc, which is basic introduction of characters and the situation.  
             Believe it or not, I actually plot out an entire year's strips at 
             once, so almost nothing that happens is accidental.  Sadly, as 
             has been noted, on occasion, my characters alter my plans because 
             writing a certain thing a certain way would contradict their 
             established persona.  I blame society, really.  |
