original_post:_12/23/2005____________________________ What’s interesting about the writing of a serialized strip, is occasionally the readers start coming up with ideas that I think are actually good. But I can’t use them because I’ve either thought of something else that I really want to do, or I just don’t want to take their idea that they’ve already mentioned. One person surmised this was all happening because Max and Em would somehow hit it off and hook up. While I think it would be quite a lot of work to make this happen, it would certainly be something I hadn’t have explored.
