woof!
Sooo, by this point I’m focusing more on how “sets of three”strips will work in the final book. Maybe too much…? For example, this is actually the second of three strips on this particular page of the book – and the story across these three strips is : faith and science. I’m pretty sure this approach to story telling doesn’t work that well in a daily web strip format. not enough payoff. hmm…
Well… anyway…
To me, it’s interesting to tease the audience with the idea that radiation itself, in this futuristic weird waste land, might be fucked up enough to actually cause an immaculate conception. Not my intention to annoy religious people, or satisfy super scientific people. Just having fun at this point.

… damn, a bunch of typing was lost here due to my pathetically lame wifi connection. *^%!
ehhh. well, basically… I think I was saying that it was not my intention to promote hard religion or hard science. just to express my personal preference – which is a level of near-symbolism that lies between the two extremes. I don’t like to entertain pure blind-faith, and i don’t like to pretend anything is 100% explainable. sooo. …this is why i think of science fiction as a form of very personal art.
I think I said it in a less clumsy way before. but. whatever. technology fail!
eh.
i also mentioned that this was the way in which I preferred to announce that the wife may be pregnant. Because she is. That’s a little insight for anyone who is taking the time to read these ranting commentaries. However, none of the babies born in these interlocking stories was in-fact conceived by radiation. That’s just a science-fantasy I enjoy. … hope that’s not bad storytelling! eek!
p.s. I wonder if I should have said “house minotaur” instead of “house bot”. hmm. Maybe it’s not clear enough that these are one and the same. hmm.
