AHA!!! How's this: Lester is caught shopping in a thriftshop... and for behavior uncharacterstic of a Spiffany, he's punished by being shown what's it's like to really be a part of the working class! And even though its really a cushy government job, its still close enough to be considered horrendous punishment by Les!

Damn it, Lash! I told you we should have finished this while she was on her "break" from posting!

We can override her if need be. Your idea works for me as long as I can throw in the term "sissy hissy" somewhere in the story!

We should make "sissy hissy" the title of one of the issues!
And as long as YOUR comfortable overriding her, then that's fine. I mean... she's YOUR friend...

Lash won't. He says he will but never does. (I checked with the Triads.)
Use Lester properly or don't use him at all!

INTEROFFICE MEMO
TO: Creative Staff of speculative project known as MATER-EATER LAD: The Series.
You guys better get on with it! OR Else! You know how "peeved" I get when I don't see progress. You don't want me to turn the project over to someone better suited for it, like TD, do you?

It might be for the best if we drop Lester altogether then.
I only wanted him for the gay subplot anyway. I sure don't have to have that.
Any plans we had for Lester can easily be fulfilled by Tiffany Spiffany.

But didn't all the plans for Lester revolve around the gay subplot?
Are we going to let Tiffany have a crush on Tenzil now? What about Dev-Em and the super-fatassing?
We're going to have to completely rethink the whole series now!

Tiffany now has the crush on Tenzil (and later dates Dev-Em to make him jealous).
Nardo's now the gay one. His fetish? Huge, fat asses!
*tee hee!* This is funnier...!

Ah yes! So gay Nardo now captures Dev-em to use him to make super-fatasses to fulfill his fetish!
That's brilliant!!!
I'm so inspired now!
If only we could finish the first issue...

And Tiffany will always wear skimpy outfits made of nothing but precious gems from all over the universe!
Okay, EDE... do you wanna do as before and me type out the next few pages and then you go back and beef 'em up? That seemed to work out really well...

*sigh*
This was a lot of fun until it got stagnated by editorial interference.

I know what you mean EDE! The "Substitute Legion" series by Mark Millar, Paris Hilton and Bryan Hitch was great too, but now it's been late for months!

Okay, how's this--
Lester comes in at 4am from a night of drunken rich-gay-boy philandering.
He's drunk, hepped up on lotus fruit and hungry.
He wobbles into the Spiffany Kitchen and attempts to cook himself something. He turns many knobs and presses many buttons but gets frustrated because he doesn't know how to operate anything.
Then he remembers there's people on Daddy's payroll who did this sort of thing for him.
He storms into the servants quarters and demands they get downstairs to fix him something to eat.
The cook, the maid and the butler all enter the kitchen-- just as it explodes, killing all 3 of them.
Turns out Lester accidentally set the space-microwave on 'self-destruct' during his drugged-up ambling around the kitchen.
As punishment for killing 3 people and levelling the kitchen, Lester is sent to Bismoll by Poppa Spiffany.
Lester's response to his punishent: "It's STUPID! *YOU'RE* stupid!!" But off to Bismoll he goes anyway!
A wee bit of dark humour, but I kinda like it...

EDE, if you approve of this scenario, Lester's flashback could probably take up 2-3 pages... bringing us ever-closer to the 22-pages we need to finish issue 1...

That's groovy, Lash! As long as we name the maid Shirley!
Hmm... that could be an ongoing gag. A maid (always named Shirley) gets killed every couple of issues...
