2013 Platypus Comix Season Schedule

[Peter Paltridge]

As always, any entries on this list may change or could be rescheduled. At the present time I don't know if the final Keiki story will actually run in November or if it'll be shoved further down the line. I would like to get it finished before the new series takes its slot, but that may not be possible.

What happens in them? Make your guesses now!

I'll admit it feels pretty exciting that I'll get to witness the end of one of your series, even if it is one that began before I started visiting your website. Free Spirit seems like a pretty good replacement judging from what I read on your deviantART page. Will Keiki still have its own archive after it ends?

Yes; I'm not taking it down. That would be annoying, wouldn't it?

Well, great. I don't know if the Mulberry story "Thanks, Obama!" will ever actually run. Recent events have made the script's subject matter ancient, and no, it's not re-workable. It's a shame; I had some good lines in there.

Could you at least give a summary of what the story was going to be about?

Jack comments that it's weird how it's been nearly six years now and they haven't made fun of the President. Mulberry says she doesn't want to, because she likes Obama. Jack and Tiff point out they can't have biases and that every politician is flawed in some way. Mulberry says it's very rare she finds herself satisfied with whoever's in office, and if she's been given the chance to be content, she's gonna take it, so there.

Throughout the story Jack and Tiff try to convince Mulberry by pointing out the most common complaints about Barack, but Mulberry shoots them down. Finally, she meets Obama at a party -- and then finds out he's been spying on her. From there they have a huge fight.

The art was partially penciled in by the time the government shutdown hit, and Obama suddenly smelled like an absolute rose compared to John Boehner, Ted Cruz, and all these other jerks. The bigger problem is that this eclipsed the spying issue by a large margin and by the time it dies down, jokes about government spying are going to be stale.

The first post in this thread is now the Obamacare of Platypus Comix posts. Sorry, guys -- I know this fall hasn't been very productive, but that's only from your eyes. I've been doing a lot of things, but not all of them have been new cartoon stories. For example, I'm trying to get one done while also trying to wrap up an already late BANG issue. Keeping promises was impossible this time.

Look for the penultimate Keiki story sometime in the middle of the week.
