Stephan. he hasn't been in the picture for a while. is he dead? did he move to washington state to live across from Bill Gates and make fun of him? actually, Bill Gates (supposedly, I believe him because he doesn't act like he's lying) moved somewhere across my friend's aunt's house. whether or not this is true, who cares?

Can't say I really cared too much for him. He was the stereotypical Slashdot-browsing, Microsoft-bashing pseudo-nerd. And I just can't stand those knd of people. Granted, all the ones I've run into are, shall we say, louder. And I'm sure he's still around. Cartoonists rarely forget their own characters.

I don't mind either way. He hasn't really done anything to make me lol, like all the other characters-yes, even Avery- have...

Stephan was cool. Don't forget, we never could have had that "Why doesn't anyone know I'm even here?" gag without him.

I'm in between "I could live without him..." and "Bring him back! I miss him!" but I don't want him dead or anything, just kept alive.

I'm surprised he hasn't been brought back sometime recently, with the dotcom industryslowly recovering <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

I say we could use more of him. He's an important side character cog in the Ozy and Millie world.

I think Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga also had the Koopa kids... oh! And I think Locke should also make more of an appearance...

Posted: **Thu Feb 10, 2005 11:03 pm**

As for Locke, it's kind of difficult when the character lives in a seperate reality from the rest of the characters. Plus, we don't know if staying outside of Ega (my name for it) has any adverse effects. Maybe I was being a bit too harsh about Stephan. After all, most of the characters are extreme examples of a certain personality or a stereotype.

Posted: **Thu Feb 10, 2005 11:10 pm**

Adverse effects? The only one I could thing of is he starts getting older again...

Posted: **Fri Feb 11, 2005 12:04 am**

no, the aging thing is probably like some kind of secondary gene, plus, they never actually age in the course of the strips that take place in the present (as in, not the flashbacks)
