Merrik:

Hello there, True Believers! Welcome to my little corner of the comic strip universe; a little place we like to call "Mr. Merrik's Excellent Adventures." I'm your host, Mr. Merrik, and if you'll just follow me, we'll...

Merrik:

Oh, hiya, Cat!

Cat:

What the fuck are you doing, Mer?

Merrik:

Just introducing myself to the audience.

Cat:

First of all: the strip is called "Valley of the Crescent Moon" [don't ask me why]. Second: DON'T BREAK THE FOURTH WALL!

Merrik:

Why not? I like the meta stuff.

Cat:

Yeah, but it doesn't sell, Mer. If we want to make any real money off this comic stuff, we need to stay mainstream -- more "Beetle Bailey", less "Sam's Strip".

Merrik:

So: no breaking the fourth wall, no self-referential humour?

Cat:

'Fraid not, Mer. Now, let's go think up some Wii puns -- you can never go wrong targeting the geek demographic. We'll have to do something about this "Krazy Kat" background, though; the last thing we want is a lawsuit.
