  • WWW: Ripping Off King Arthur #333 -- Just Put It Out of Its Misery Part

    From Arthur Spitzer@21:1/5 to All on Tue Feb 7 23:09:44 2023
    And it's the 10th Anniversary of Ripping Off King Arthur!

    And we've also reached the Conclusion of Just Put It Out of Its Misery
    (But not the end of this strip -- there's probably another years worth
    of epilogues before we get to that.)

    Lance Lotter VS Jesse Cashew! Who Will Live?! Who Will Die?! (Or
    maybe they'll both live and let die like that Paul McCartney song!)

    I might have been able to predict the ending, if I'd figured out where
    Jesse Cashew fit into the series. Right now, I'm thinking it
    incorporated the Camelot mythos but departed from it overall.

    Yeah, I never really mapped everything so everyone character was this character in the
    Arthurian Mythos. I mean I guess Young Jesse Cashew was a Young King Arthur pulling the
    sword from the stone. Middle-Aged Jesse was more like some alternate Arthur that never
    pulled the sword from the stone and just grew to be an ordinary nobody.

    I suppose that there are tons of ROKA characters that are King Arthur from like Turo King,
    Max Ruetra, Punk Rokkafeller, Pope Lizardsaurus, The Webcartoonist That Stayed In Bed... and
    so on.

    ROKA will have an ultimate ending so I suppose you could still be right (unless your
    prediction was one involving Jesse finding the Severed Head of Satan and making a wish.)

    Okay, I'll go out on a limb.

    Throughout the postludes, various characters write themselves out of the
    story. At the end, Vivian N. Tropolis presses that button which ends
    things. All the remaining legendary characters and major villains
    disappear, as does Webcomiclot itself. But its legend remains, to
    inspire future web cartoonists.

    But How Will I be able to do my After MASH/Fraiser spinoff series?

    Dr. Tropolis does appear in the next two strips (which I've finished already -- and will both come out in March. Also finished my April and May strips too.)

    I do have everything pretty much planned from this point on (beyond not knowing how many parts that last epilogue will be.)
