Clown and Out

I have something of a love/hate relationship with fan conventions. I love the idea of them, but the reality of a packed room of seaty, becostumed bodies, not being anble to hear myself think and the very definite commercial undertones sort of dampen the squib a little. As interested as I;ve been to see my idols in the flesh and even ask the odd question, something usually stops me before I getto the ticket office.

That said, it's been nice to catch up with friends at the events (Hi Paul! Hi Wade!), and that's my biggest takeaway.

Oh, the strip. Yes, this had a bumpy conception, was scripted in part YEARS ago, with the events of a McGann-featured Armageddon still fresh in my ganglions, and among the panels scrubbed from ths incarnation, a hefty use of the team behind the Psychic Circus. In preparation for revisiting the unfinished story I listened to the recent Big Finish story about their origins. And then I took them ot of the strip.

Last note: this will be the final Karkus strip for a while. I'm prepping the next season as I write this, so as the man once said, Stay Tuned...

And thanks for reading!
