Sorry to disappoint everyone who thought this was a new strip thread.
You remember that old creepy-weird children's song "Teddy Bear's Picnic?"
Just in case you don't, this will refresh your memory (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQjxjaY7VN8).
I think if Onstad wrote an arc about Mr. Bear going to the Teddy Bear's Picnic, a dark, secret ritual that takes place deep in the woods during the full moon, it could be pretty awesome and Cartilage-Head level disturbing. I don't know what he'd do with it once he got ol' Cornelius there, but that is an arc I would pay a commission to see made if I had enough money lying around to make it worth the 'Stad's while.
Just thought I'd share.

C-Head is one of my favorite arcs, so I'm totally in favor of this, but of course he's hung up the strip so there's no chance of it ever happening now.
Almost completely unrelated: "You are My Sunshine" is a creepy-ass song. I have a singer friend who does a really dark version of it.
-
Yeah, I sing it to my kids sometimes (all four verses), but then again I have also been known to use Seger's "Turn the Page" as a lullaby so they're probably pretty warped already.

anything can mean anything to anyone.
"closer" by NIN is a love song, right?
-
I'll always love you
And make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me
To love another
You'll regret it all some day
Not too much grey area there.
-
I do wonder if he'd even take it as a commission at this point...if I had the cash to throw at it, would it matter?
-
But if he's doing the next big thing, why is he begging for money? That'd be the only thing I wouldn't get.
If the next big thing is on spec, you'd reckon he'd put enough time aside to keep the strip going to keep selling merch and Paywall subscriptions and so on.
If the next big thing is paid, you'd think he wouldn't bother begging for money at all.
That's the only thing I don't understand about that theory.
-
Mike, it's not like he's on the street corner begging for money. That link on his site isn't occupying any of his time. Maybe it's offensive for him to be asking for donations when he's not delivering product, but if someone was to want to give you money for nothing would you turn it down?
-
Could we please not ask questions that encourage LFM to theorize MORE about Onstad's business plan and creative process? Just as a favor to me? Please?

No. But I'd start feeling guilty as fuck about it after just a little while.
And I'll stop there, out of deference to the wombles.
