Poppers don’t destroy your short-term memory, they are just a vasodilator that facilitate sodomization - that’s all.  Pretty ambivalent about this cartoon, for a couple reasons. It’s actually one of the first ones I ever wrote, originally starring Peter, and sat around for the last two years until I needed one in a hurry, as I wanted to spend more time on “Horse-Whores of the Apocalypse” (next week).  Ian is the one character whose been sort of floating these last couple years. Sure, he’s smart, but so’s Henkl and Thomas in their own ways - and just having him as the uptight one is sort of boring. So, when I brushed this cartoon off, I decided to replace Pete with him, and have Ian not just uptight, but slightly neurotic and prone to “mud hell”, otherwise known as depression.  That said, dunno if the cartoon’s any good.  A l’il too autobiographical for comfort, a l’il obtuse… I like the colour scheme though, and it does open some doors for me to play with Ian more.  If you DO think this ‘toon blows, stick with me - the Oct. 1st one guest-stars Paris, Britney, Lindsey, Nicole Richie and Anna Nicole Smith!  Oh yeh, and my Dad is the cowboy in the last panel and the sullen daddy is my friend Mike.
