Before you start thinking the rest of the blog is going to be all gloom and doom, let us assure you that it’s not. Let’s play a happy song. How about Keep on Rockin’ in the Free World? That’s upbeat, right? It isn’t? Well, just ignore the lyrics then. Pretty please?

Yeah, Brick’s character sure has been going on a downwards spiral lately, hasn’t he? He sure has been. Get it? He’s a has been! I don’t think you’re helping. Oops. Carry on. As I was saying, we get it. The season arc for Brick has taken a turn for the pathetic… Or lame… but it does not reflect the overall tone of the rest of the blog, you see. We’re not going to cop out and say the whole thing was a dream or that it never happened… Are you sure? It seems like that’s the only way to bring him back...because that would undercut the development of his character. We will continue to explore the lives of the other characters as well… even though Brick is the most human character out of the four. Literally. Half of the band is made up of anthropomorphic animal creature things as well as a one dimensional narcissist posing as a singer.

The last thing we want to become is some sort of … downer? We like to experiment with genre and play around with characters in different ways. Why are we apologizing? I don’t know; it just seems like we may have begun to irritate some folks, that’s all. That’s assuming people read this. Well obviously they read this, look at the page view meter on the left.  Whatever, just say what you need to say. Thank you. Now where was I? Oh yes. Just because we’ve been following the downfall of the main character doesn’t mean we’re going to become a tragedy. I mean, look at the Great Gatsby where James Gatz’s zombie reunited with Nick and they went and had a great time cruising down the highway looking for adventures in their automobile. You didn’t read the book, did you? I did…a long time ago.

Stay tuned for future episodes where we might see Slate pursue an online degree in business so that he can finally open that Starbucks franchise he wanted to, Shadow has to help G Mod build a go cart to win a local competition and Tigerman finally gets that date he’s always wanted. That’s the beauty of fiction…anything can happen. Of course Brick is still trapped. Dream, coma, purgatory…we’re not sure yet but don’t focus on the negative. The world is perfect and everything always works out the way you want and nobody ever ages or dies and you’ll be beautiful forever. Yes we can be happy. Look at how we bare our teeth for an uncomfortably long time. They get it. Oh thank god. Just listen to the song and we’ll see you next time. Owww…my face muscles are so sore from all that fake smiling.
