And yeah, I meant to leave out Chad’s head, there. It’s there, but you just can’t see it, because it floated too low.

Growing up without electricity (through most of my Highschool years), we learned to do without.
We didn’t have a shower, so in the summer we’d hang a hose on a tree, and shower in that. We didn’t have a bathroom for a while, so I did my business in the woods. (Winter too.) We didn’t have running water, but we still had camping water containers to drink from. I didn’t have television, so I read. A lot.
Funny thing is that after a while, you kinda get used to it.
All of these experiences became pretty natural after just a little while. I could go naked in the woods, and there wasn’t anyone around to notice. (Our closest neighbor was a good 3/4 mile away.)
I didn’t love living there without these amenities at the time, but now, I’m pretty thankful for it. It was just the sort of thing that a city kid needed to help rewire the brain. Added to a few other traumatic events and an over-active imagination, and I’ve got the kind of disfunctional mind that creates the very best dreams.
I’m trying to harness some of this experience, and stuff it into the Monster Commute. Sometimes I’m more successful and other times, I’m not. But I guess lots of things in life are like that.
The most important bit is that I’m really enjoying it. I’ve been able to show you more of this world than anything else I’ve ever made.
I’ve got plenty more of MONSTRU to show you, if you’ll have me a little longer.

End the Authority?! WHAT?!
Ethan, you’re beginning to sound like Chadworth.
New and improved with Goats!
(That will put a wicked spin on any revolution.)
Goats make everything better, I’ve found.
It’s about time somebody put up a fight. Free Creatu
I will never forget the lines of batteries lined up in the corner of your house, and of course, PSYCHOBILLY!!!
Twenty years from now, you will do a “prequel” comic series. In it, we will cheer for Abe Lincolnstein and the Authority will be cool.
Yes, we shall.
But, the AUTHORITY IS cool. You need to cheer for Lincolnstein. He saved everyone from the Green King, for gawds sake. The man’s a hero. Too bad he died that one time.
Instead of a prequel comic, let’s make it a movie.
Let’s make it THREE movies.
Curious thought. Has the “trilogy” become the norm? We’re already seeing movies do the trilogy, and then spin out into spin offs. Does everyone just sort of expect that kind of franchise-ification?
I dunno. I think that it’s probably just a function of maximizing revenue.
Me, I just like the serial nature of it. Doing this comic is kind of like old time radio serials. I think of each day as an episode.
What happened to Chadworth’s skull in the last panel?
Some kind of spit take while drinking Agent Orange flavored Muzz?
Well, I guess it’s not so clear.
In shock, his head lowered all the way into his body.
Dawna said the same thing. I should have listened to her, and showed a shard of his skull.
I just thought that it would be a little shocking if it was gone.
Just having that spike on his helm showing would have worked, IMO.
But yeah, I can see where an announcement like that might make one drop their skull into the seat of their pants.
