original_post:_5/10/2004____________________________ To be honest, I was never really interested in doing any "Max in therapy" storyline. It was something that would happen outside of the normal plot. Something that we would acknowledge, but we would never see. Maybe this was a mistake, but I felt it would drag out the paranoia thing, and I wasn't interested in that. This strip shows that Max has some ways of dealing with things that might question his judgement. This was also a way to show that Alli still cares for Max, but is taking it slow.
