There were sad times in the Stanford Webcomics Experiment this week, and I was forced to let my intern, Ms. Maslach, go, for gross malfeasance and obstructionism. I had high hopes for this young lady who is not only a knockout and true-blue in terms of her filing abilities and her memory for what kinds of creamer I will and won’t accept in my morning coffee (Yep, readers, you guessed it!! Steve Junior is JUST LIKE HIS CHARACTERS in their love of coffee! Howdja guess???), and who from the moment I met her in the parking lot of the Shoney’s in downtown Hayti for a job interview breakfast after our initial contacts over the St. Louis Craig’s List (she was willing to drive in all the way from the Big City just to intern with li’l ol’ me! Can you imagine?) I knew she was really a keeper not just as an employee but as a woman you would be glad to know. But she wanted this comic to update only five times a week! She’s gone now. The experiment is a success, and it WILL continue.
May the Laughs Be With You!

Milgram! That’s hardly polite! Ah, well, though, when they make ’em like Tuskegee, who could blame him?
Well, I’ve been working hard all week this first week of comics here at the old The Stanford Webcomics Experiment. I think old Steve Junior is going to do some serious relaxing tonight, maybe taking time to truck on down to (that’s a sixties reference to cartoonist Rodney Crumb for young folks!) the highway to Stuckey’s for some pecan rolls and to put a dent in the latest paperback on my shelf. Right now I am devouring James Clavell’s classic Noble House, which I read once around the time it came out but sometimes when a lot of time goes by you forget lots of the details in a really good story and its like you get to read the whole thing again fresh from the top. Who knows, maybe one day thirty years from now people will say the same thing about The Stanford Webcomics Experiment! *sends up a little prayer*
May the Laughs Be With You and I will see you tomorrow! I will see you tomorrow and every day!

Oh no! Looks like these kids got a little bit more than they bargained for when they gave their friend coffee…
Some people are wondering what my opinion is on merchandising, now that the strip is off and rolling a little bit. I don’t have a firm investment philosophy on the matter yet, but one thing I can tell you is that I take intellectual property issues very seriously, and if anyone tries to bootleg shirts with my characters all I can tell you is you are going to be standing at the business end of a very particularly firm lawsuit is all I can say. I know there is a demand for shirts but I do not know yet exactly how I am going to meet that demand, so I would prefer the marketplace not be flooded with shoddy imitations before chickens come home to roost in a manner of speaking.
May the Laughs Be With You until I will see you tomorrow!!!!
