And it's the 10th Anniversary of Ripping Off King Arthur!

And we've also reached the Conclusion of Just Put It Out of Its Misery
(But not the end of this strip -- there's probably another years worth
of epilogues before we get to that.)

Lance Lotter VS Jesse Cashew! Who Will Live?! Who Will Die?! (Or
maybe they'll both live and let die like that Paul McCartney song!)

I might have been able to predict the ending, if I'd figured out where
Jesse Cashew fit into the series. Right now, I'm thinking it
incorporated the Camelot mythos but departed from it overall.

Yeah, I never really mapped everything so everyone character was this character in the
Arthurian Mythos. I mean I guess Young Jesse Cashew was a Young King Arthur pulling the
sword from the stone. Middle-Aged Jesse was more like some alternate Arthur that never
pulled the sword from the stone and just grew to be an ordinary nobody.

I suppose that there are tons of ROKA characters that are King Arthur from like Turo King,
Max Ruetra, Punk Rokkafeller, Pope Lizardsaurus, The Webcartoonist That Stayed In Bed... and
so on.

ROKA will have an ultimate ending so I suppose you could still be right (unless your
prediction was one involving Jesse finding the Severed Head of Satan and making a wish.)

Okay, I'll go out on a limb.

Throughout the postludes, various characters write themselves out of the
story. At the end, Vivian N. Tropolis presses that button which ends
things. All the remaining legendary characters and major villains
disappear, as does Webcomiclot itself. But its legend remains, to
inspire future web cartoonists.

But How Will I be able to do my After MASH/Fraiser spinoff series?

Dr. Tropolis does appear in the next two strips (which I've finished already -- and will both come out in March. Also finished my April and May strips too.)

I do have everything pretty much planned from this point on (beyond not knowing how many parts that last epilogue will be.)
