The Bullshit Bulletin was an issue-ending recap (I think my teacher saw it and thought I was mocking the Buccaneer Bulletin, but that wasn’t the case – this was mocking incompetent readers who would read something and ask me a million questions instead of reading the freakin’ story).
Some of the same problems occurred then as now; People wouldn't read all of the comics and then would be utterly confused and/or semi-disinterested if I was trying to develop more mature storylines and grander characters than just a bunch of high school kids goofing’ around. This is one reason why I adopted my odd style of oscillating between attempts at mature storylines and then sophomoric-humor ones, then tying them together. Problem was, some readers preferred my 100% fictional storylines, and some would prefer the stories where my buddies would be semi-fictionalized and doing retarded things. I equally enjoyed both. So, in this issue, and the following one, “Dawn of The Barbarian", would again be another exercise in this activity. Barbarian Howeird is perhaps the first offbeat character in all of my comics. But there are more strange characters to come. Now if only the webcomic readers would stop being semi-retarded and started to read the comics instead of looking at one or two pages and then leaving. Of course, I've done the same with other webcomics, but only when I found that their content was too derivative of previous things (fantasy, gamer, furry, super-hero, cartoony, manga, teen angst, parody [or flat-out stealing] of someone else’s creations, etc.) for me to take a full interest... I'm yet to see any comic have my odd originality (though Trey and Matt of South Park fame would years later do similar things as I did here - but with foul-mouthed elementary school students instead of violent and foul-mouthed high scholars).

"Classic Crusher Comics" was produced between 1988-1999 as an
unpublished "sketchbook with a storyline" amateur comic book
while the author was in school and for a short period thereafter. In 2005, it was reborn,
reprinted entirely for the world wide web as a webcomic. Now, a new graphic novel debuted, though interrelated,
not interdependent to the old archival comic books. Enjoy any
and all!
