We’re lucky there’s about a 2005-month’s worth of strips away from the end of the road. There easily could have been a million strips about Jason being some kind of obnoxious film nerd while working for minimum wage at a place that sold expired candy. I mean, there’s probably about 12 more of those, but that is still– I believe– less than a million.
I wasn’t good at college. I established that in a 2002 strip, and as you can see, by 2005 I hadn’t made much progress. Don’t worry, things barely worked out in the end.
Even a one off character like “my college roommate who never appears in Flatliner himself’s girlfriend” get a reprieve by the end, so yeah. I’m pretty good at milking everything for far, far more than it was ever worth. What actually happened was I didn’t want to make a new character “sprite” for a random student. There’s zero actual connection to that person who last appeared in December 2002.
