I hope you guys,and the majority of our readers, can see that we're not trying to go for cheap shock content here, nor make this a very special episode. My personal views, when it comes to storytelling...
Child Abuse does not equal Automatic Character Development.
Rape does not equal Automatic Character Development.
Drug Addition does not equal Automatic Character Development.
Death in the Family! does not equal Automatic Character Development.
There's a line there. One has to handle this sort of thing really carefully, and not as a cheap attention getter... it'll be a damned exercise in writing to pull it all off, but this stuff isn't coming out of nowhere, nor is it going nowhere. (Some of you have already caught on here and there about it, by diving into the archives, or reading through our Wiki.)
We're going to be working damned hard to make sure to keep you guys entertained, and tell a top-notch webcomic yarn. The last damned thing I want to do is to rake our characters over the coals unnecessarily, just to score cheap drama points.
And we're going to be committed to bringing you the lols in the near future and throughout the run of PitW.
