(it wasn't lol but, I mean, I guess it could be. They're in a whacky dimension who knows how time works there right?)

I'm glad it felt a little spooky--I wanted it to be a little spooky! My writing is influenced a lot by cosmic horror and weird fiction and all, so I always want there to be some element of horror in whatever I write, even if it's predominantly comedic.

Rereading over this, I actually realised how much I love Bingle as a character like, man, I forgot how fun he is to write. Absolute blast having a character who is just a complete, absolute idiot. He's the closest they have there to being a Sue except maybe Anne, considering he just kinda knows basically everything and pulls skills out of his rear end arbitrarily. The fact that he's such a horribly focussed hyper-senile moron smooths that out a lot, I find.

I'm surprised people like Doctor Indrid as much as they did considering his whole thing was just sort of. On a whim. It just sort of appeared. I just figured, I gotta write a doctor scene, so I may as well have the doctor be funny, and all that.
