Description
Forever 16 is back! And it’s back to being a comic strip, too. I think it’s high time I admitted that these characters just aren’t suited for anything else.I’m gonna do one thing a little differently this time, though – instead of posting a whole week’s worth of strips at once, I’ll put up one a day, like I used to when I tried doing the strip in real time. And what better way to relaunch the strip than with the very first day of the decade, January 1, 1990? I wrote this week of strips a while ago, and I adapted much of this material into my first attempt at a longer story, “Joel and Aaron’s Guide to Understanding Women”, which I posted back in January of 2012. I had to expand and fill out the material a lot to make it ten pages long – I think the comic strip version is a lot simpler.

So, does this mean that 'McWorld Politics' and 'Smells like Team Spirit' are scrapped? Or will we see those wrapped up in time?

I still intend to finish "Smells Like Team Spirit". Only obstacle there is, there's a climactic scene near the end where I need to convey a certain plot point that DeviantArt will almost certainly never allow me to post, and I'm on the fence as to whether or not I should just try to stage it in a specific way so as to block the potentially offensive stuff, even though I don't think I can properly convey what's happening in the climax without the audience actually seeing it.
As for "McWorld Politics", I may end up restarting that story as a series of comic strips, which is how I originally wrote it. But I don't feel like the Forever 16 characters work in short stories, so no, I most likely won't do any more full pages.

Sweet, I was hoping you'd come back to Forever 16. Of course, all of your stuff is great. F16 is just your oldest baby. lol

Cut-and-paste some faux-philosophical comments about 'the journey is reason enough itself', and 'the master must progress through complexity to find simplicity' and 'now you know what doesn't work' here.
Then go, get yourself a beer, and have some fun writing comic strips.
