Further explanations: I'm trying to depict the growing confusion of the students. Is Dr. Q talking science or metaphysics? Even though these brightly colored cartoons will appeal to middle school kids, the "is" to "ought" debate will register with collegians familiar with ethics. I'm also hoping the student's orientation (Attributes and Ideals) are becoming clearer. It's hard to tell at this early stage. Maybe there are too many characters too fast. By the way, I've included subtleties for my own enjoyment--a nod to Vonnegut and ice-nine, Attributes and Ideals (a nod to AI as opposed to Biographical Sketches, BS), and others. I'm at the point now where I hope clean lines, hand gestures, bright colors, uniform word balloons, and distinct philosophical orientations will merge into a coherent whole thus distracting readers from the amateurish dialog. I've never written fiction before so what I lack in talent I make up for in volume. My aim is to eventually speed up to 3 pages a day. That's insane but I'm in a hurry. I did page 9 in one day.
