But adamh seems to be suggesting that maybe there's a Faustian bargain at work here - that Mephistopheles has made deals with the characters that contractually obligate them to lives of misery in exchange for, say, protection for each other - not realizing that everybody else in the strip has made the same bargain.D.B.

Just have them do the same things the regular characters did, but also have to deal with the problems of not being able to go outside in the day and having to drink the blood of the living. It couldn't fail.Mathew Wallshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06524311857930464031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1735001702817172149.post-77803520287414276412007-11-03T01:38:00.000-04:002007-11-03T01:38:00.000-04:00AdamH: So you're saying the entire cast of "Funky ...AdamH: So you're saying the entire cast of "Funky Winkerbean" was cursed by gypsies?

So us ordinary schmucks have no business criticizing the likes of Schulz and Patterson and Batiuk and the AJGLU 3000 because, as mere peons and readers and consumers and puppy-trainers and fish-wrappers, we are in no way qualified to comment on the stratospheric genius that has created these works...but at the same time, fellow creators are not allowed to critcize, because then they would be engaging in unprofessional conduct?<BR/><BR/>I call Shenanigans! Rule is hereby overturned. Everybody is free to criticize everybody else! Otherwise, nobody is any better than Britney Spears or George Lucas or George W. Bush, surrounded by a posse that insulates them from the views of the outside world and assures them that everything they are doing is perfectly all right.D.B.
