Arthur, King of Time and Space

8/13/09

Today, according to my spreadsheet, the centerpoint of the biggest gap in the chronology of existing AKOTAS-2 cartoons was analog to the Star Trek episode By Any Other Name, in which aliens from the Andromeda galaxy hijack the Enterprise to take it home until Captain Kirk says, "Why can't we just be friends?" Now, in AKOTAS, where the British high kingdom is an interstellar nation, an intergalactic gulf becomes analog to an ocean and the aliens are from not a galaxy called Andromeda but a galaxy called America. Anyway, that's what I decided back when I drew a KAITAS cartoon set after King Arthur had persuaded the aliens to be friends instead of hijackers. So, having a By Any Other Name gag ready to go, I forgot my stated policy for the sabbatical not to run two KAITAS reprints in a row. Oh well. It's not like I haven't run two sketches in a row already when I wasn't going to do that either. But that was done on purpose because the first one was lame (even if it did prompt a reader comment favorably comparing the simplicity of my character design with Schulz's).
