This strip reflects the growing dissatisfaction I had for my own strip. Alex points out that when the strip began it was political in nature, and now, 5 years later it is less so. This is odd, since Alex wasn't introduced until the second year. Also strange is Curt's uncharacteristic indifference at "selling out." By all rights it should be Curt raving about it. But I wanted Alex to get some strip time (hee hee) and Curt is the only one he would logically have this discussion with.

This was a really odd strip, since by this time, the characters were getting more distinct personalities. (I hope, anyway.)
