We of the Guild of Evil Cartoonists believe that comics are like candy
- they keep you coming back for more. As a result, it is our goal to
produce strips of such mind-bending deviousness and quality that our readers
berate us for making them wait/try to second guess, while always coming back for
more. As well as a few miscellanious bits of deviousness that qualifies because,
well, it's just evil!. Therefore, we of the Guild will
Always write plots so intricate that the readers can never outguess them.
Create characters so real that people will always want to know what
happened next.
Create cliffhangers wherever possible so that the next strip just cannot
come fast enough.
Give resolutions to storylines that make readers go "OH MY GOD! I
should have seen that coming!"
Cover over plotholes then pretend that we always meant it to happen like
that.
Put our characters through unbridled miseries and hardships so as to make
for good drama.
Never leave anything resolved unless we have to, want to, or are just too
goddamn tired that day to go on.
Create subtext wherever possible, either for future stories or because
it's just goddamn funny.
Give the readers what they want, but only in very small quantities so they
come back for more. Always.
Inspire debate and discussion in our readers over subjects touched on in
the strips, so we can busily write more deviousness without them noticing.
Inspire Perverse Sexual Lust (PSL) in readers and then use it against them
whenever the plot demands/it's a day that ends in Y.
Have certain key figures in the online comics world worship our
comics, for they are nif - er, tell everyone how great our works are and
thus get us more victi--read-both .
All members of the Guild will abide by this charter, unless they don't want
to.
