It all depended on the story line he was working on. If the story line arc ended the "characters" disappeared into an oblivion somewhere. I think the cartoon characters became aware of the power the cartoonist had over them. Imagine knowing whom your creator is and that he/she could uncreate you by simply not drawing you?

How useless is that? It's like fighting over a novel that someone creates out of imagination. Who does that?

You just think you do? Would you rather know or not know if it were true? Does knowing your responses thoughts everythings are robotic reactions too hard to take or comforting because if you can't choose how can you be responsible/accountable/blamable for anything?

Some of the authors whose works are presented to us using that specific MO areJames JoyceMarcel ProustHenry JamesWilliam FaulknerJack KerouacSamuel BeckettFyodore DostoevskyVirginia WoolfThere are others. Do you prefer writing that is sequentially logical and orderly or can you literally go with the flow of random thoughts wherever they take you and extract from them something of value?

Dare they disobey his command to declare war on the portion of the American people who refuse to support him? Is there anything in the Constitution that would prohibit that and even if there were he has already proven tht he is above the law, above the Constitution, an institution unto himself. If the military refused an order would that mean insurrection revolution? Inquiring minds wanna know since the big cheese is capable of anything we can opine about and imagine. less

Want him to order the military to use "lethal force" against the "we the people" who do not support him? Would that be the very best use of the small and closing window of time he has left? Eliminate all all opposition once and for all! That way the only folks left are folks like you who adoringly support defend admire worship him. Now that would be heaven for you. UTOPIA! So what's he waiting for? Is he up to it? Will he dare do it? It is what he would most like to do. But then he would have no one to attack or berate or fight or insult? Oh my gosh! How could he survive a world like that? Maybe he would be forced to attack you, his adoring supporters. I dunno. It's kinda hard to conceive of how he will fill the long hours each day with no one to attack, insult, destroy. less
