What if...?

[erikbarrett]

What if we DID mind?

Well, it's too late now. <!--emo&:P--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo--><br>

What if we go back in time and mind it to the point that he doesn't bump it?

[Henohenomoheji]

then you would have bumped it.

[Ibun]

yeah... but... uh... DAMN YOU! I'll get you next time. NEXT TIME! *shakes fist*

[Steve the Pocket]

Was there some reason for bumping this???<br><br>Anyway here's one: WHAT IF "O&M" finally gets picked up by the syndicates? Do you think it will become really popular?<br><br>I mean, I know it <i>deserves</i> to be, but will it? I can personally see it becoming the next Calvin and Hobbes, but I can also see a million newspaper editors saying "What the heck is this? You expect us to run this thing?!" I mean, if the kind of thing they find funny now is any indication...

[Muninn]

I don't think ALL syndicates and editors are against such comics. One reason why Calvin and Hobbes stayed on for so long was because Universal knew how good a comic it was and many newspaper editor's as well. But competition is always intense.

I personally don't like "What ifs" in the context of past tense. What's done is done, and I don't like to waste my time thinking about "What could've been".<br><br>However, I do very much enjoy "What ifs" in a future tense.<br><br>How about this: What if Ozy's Parent(s) suddenly showed up on his doorstep? Alive and well?

It would be difficult to pull off such a storyline without it sounding like a bad made-for-TV movie.<br>

[Holyman83]

maybe that is the point to make fun of badly made TV movies.

I'd rather they not show up at all, or have died a long time in the past. They're existance in the comic would throw a few kinks into how things work at present.
