#959 – cat light

This page was one of many acts of letting go: choosing to abandon a chapter and give it a basic summary inside a bigger, more interesting story. I continued this mind-dump in another strip, soon to follow. Having these untold histories meant OP characters never felt fake just a few inches off-screen. It was good for me to accept that these anecdotes WERE part of the story, that any good story, by necessity, has untold parts.

  1. "It was good for me to accept that these anecdotes WERE part of the story, that any good story, by necessity, has untold parts."

    I think this is so true in any narrative medium, and it takes not just talent to achieve it, but also a reasonably constrained ego and impulse control to be able to first identify and then consistently pursue it as a goal.

    Maybe the take is, "Don't kill your darlings, but do shove them aggressively off-screen!"

    Or perhaps it's more of the ol' Vaudeville Hook . . .

  2. Manuel and the Amazing Technicolor Dreambutt.

  3. Manuel is probably another name pun, referencing a car's user manual, or its transmission

    1. What? No, it's an actual given name that exists.

      It might be a reference to the Fawlty Towers character, who is… not very smart.

  4. I appreciate that we can just barely see Will smiling at the fact that Manuel's ass is right in Eve's face.

  5. Boyfriend who likes my cat: +1

    Cat who likes my boyfriend: +1000000000000000000

    Realizing that one of Eve’s visions during her orgasm was, effectively, a multicolor sphincter: priceless.
