Where in the World is Carmen's Friend Di[eg]o?
You'all might note the eerie coincidence that one day after Shrubville received the following comment from Snowman: "Another thing... If Winslow is out on the campaign trail (four blocks away -- that was a great and hilarious point, Furnace), Carmen has been left all alone... without anyone to talk to but herself. You SEE why you need another character or two, Stantis? People here at Shrubville have been saying that all along! Posted by: Snowman at July 4, 2007 11:28 AM"...
Stantis begins the process -- we think -- of finding a new character!
(And Pellucid said we have no influence with Stantis!)
Of course, this all makes me wonder if Snowman is someone in-the-know. Maybe Scott's editor? Manager? Someone who works for Universal Press Syndicate? Toby? That guy who receives the Chicago Sun-Times a day early (who later went on to become a football coach)?
Regardless: either "good call" or "thanks for early tip."
Alas, today's new character audition didn't go all that well. Does Stantis really think it's safe to bring back another turtle after the disturbing appearance of fair Shelly back in April of 2005? And for that matter, it's not entirely necessary to introduce another character when Dio is waiting off-frame, begging for air time.
Dio, Dio; wherefore art thou, Dio?

What the heck is up with Carmen in that first panel? She looks like Barry Bonds.

He sold two used copies but still dropped in the rankings?

The used copies were sold on the Amazon equivalent to Ebay--they let private sellers list their books on the same page. Private sales don't affect Sales Rank.
