Thanks for reading.
This is the second time (here is the
first) that I've projected into the far future because I've decided
Arthur needs to be the butt of a joke about middle-age spread. Or rather,
apparently, senior spread. I thought about setting this gag in the present in
the space arc/timezone, with Arthur in the first panel and Merlin in the
last; but I decided the person in the first panel needed to be beardless
(yet, for obvious reasons, male).
The previous golf gag is just one that readers have stated give cause for hope that the other AKOTAS arcs may have happier endings than the baseline/fairy tale arc is doomed to have. Of course at this time I confirm or deny nothing, but I will point out that only with the two contemporary arc flashforwards with golf have we seen Arthur's hair color and hairline in quite this state. Note that this time I managed to get their golf gloves on the side I intended. |
