Suggested wine pairing: a grape margarita.
Welcome to act three of the
MOUNTAIN TIME HURLY BURLY.
As you wonder, perhaps fretfully, about how many acts this story has, I’d like to remind you that exits are located at the front and rear of the plane. We know you have a choice in airlines, and we appreciate that you think this is one.
Additional flights will occur on Tuesday and Thursday, and as always, thank you for not reporting me to the FAA.
Not only is Mountain Time continuing, but now Dave, a character who’s been there since the first PANEL, is going to be plot important for I think the first time?
Heck yeah!
As a writer myself, it’s sometimes a struggle to remember who has and hasn’t met amidst a vast sea of established characters…let alone who knows what information about who else. I’m pretty sure Agoraphobic Hamster met Dave during the whole “sacrifice someone to the volcano to get off the deserted island” scenario, however dubiously canonical that is, but it’s understandable he wouldn’t have mentioned that traumatic experience to Chimneyfoot. Anyway, looks like that empty beer can has places to go.
Oh, I should make a diagram of which of my webcomic characters have interacted with each other when I get home. Someone remind me to do that.
There used to be (I dunno, maybe still is?) a practice in fan communities for certain things of making “relationship webs” that are basically graphs (in the mathematical sense, AKA networks) where each character is a node, and the links between the nodes are labeled in some way with what relation they are to each other (like brother, unrequited love, etc.). Making something like that can certainly help organize that information, if it’s important, although once the graph can no longer be planar it can get to be more complicated than it’s worth to maintain/read.
Coming this summer: MOUNTAIN TIME: A Dave Worse than Death! Rated MT-13.
Xin: so that’s why Xenoblade games always do that? I never got the point of those.
Circle: I believe you’re right about this being Dave’s first role in the canonical story. The diagram is a great idea; I have to keep way too much of this stuff in my head, which sometimes causes me to forget what I’m doing when I take a shower.
Xin: Chim was in that island episode too, but it’s non-conical.

And that beer can is getting away from what even it knows is a bad idea.
