Our Various Characters
-Behind that gruff interior...
-lies a gruff interior.
-And that sweet little one hides a well of poison!
-Ouch! How come those we know don't conform
to the lovables of fiction?
-Or the hateables? Well, ours don't hafta sustain much
of anything. But the writers of magazine episodes had
that problem. Thus do the two-noters stay the course
rather easily: whore with heart of gold, tyrannical boss
who’s a softie, etc. As do one-noters, such as outright
villains preparing to brutally grip dewy maidens.
-Next month: FATE WORSE THAN DEATH!
-Probably not. Anyway, all the folks we know possess
several notes, quite often clashing. And few are
genuine villains.
-They're working towards it.
-Takes some competence.
-Then we’re safe.
