Another storyline Jon?
posted Wednesday, February 18, 2004 - 11:48 AM (#14174)
You set this up didn't you Jon? First Diablo says he kills Loovis Jr. by ripping out his entrails [goats.com] at age 3 yet the Octohitler kills Lovis [goats.com] while Diablo is a chick.
This leads me to believe we'll be reading about a 3 yr. old Diablo and a clone of Loovis who comes back seeking revenge on Diablo. Either that or you goofed. (But that wouldn't happen.)

Diablo is three when this storyline takes place. Remember, he is not an ordinary chicken and does not age at the same rate as regular chickens.

The entrails bit -- well, you'll have to wait and see.

Hmmm, ripping out someone's entrails through their testicles. Sounds like someone forgot to turn his head and cough.

Hold on... the earlier comic says that the entrails got pulled out through his NOSTRILS, not testicles...?

I never had any intention of putting that bit in the story. I've been reading a lot of books lately where authors use the plot device of revealing a character's fate way before it usually happens in an effort to create mystery and intrigue ("That was the last night we saw Johnny with his lungs intact."), and I figured it was due for a skewering.

So sue me.

Probably this is because too many of the authors you're reading are following the advice to "write the ending first, and then fill in the rest", and deciding that since they've already written the ending, they might as well spill their guts.

Plus they're too lazy to copy and paste from the front of the document to the back.

Darn lazy writers. That's how they get you.

Or maybe you're just reading trash.
