Introducing Stan by israphael 12-05-01

Meet another one of our resident one-note characters: Stan. Let's see. You ordered the BLT, a bowl of the clam chowder, and an iced tea. I get your food right out to you. No one is sure whether he is evil... Here you are sir, enjoy your meal. or just incompetent. AAAAUUUUGGGGHHHH!!!! *Sigh* I can kiss that tip goodbye.

I got the inspiration when I wrote this strip.

It's a little known fact that Brad has a beautiful tenor voice. He has consented to sing "O Holy Night" for us. Thank you Brad. Thank you. May I have a spotlight please? AAAAAUUUUGGGGHHHH!!!! Damn it, Stan! That's the third person to burst into flames! Are you sure you know what you're doing? I never had any complaints when I worked for Jerry Springer.

Heh, coincidentally, I called him Stan in a CC, and Wirthling responded that this was a new one-note character:

When they invent BookFace, I'm -there-.

The Stan comics are entertaining. If I ever use that character in a comic I will not call him "Stan" in deference to these comics. I may in the future call other characters "Stan", but not this particular one. I think someday I might do a comic called "I Am Not Stan" and use the Stan character, but I will not actually call him Stan.

I have a brother-in-law named Stan, but I will continue to call him Stan. He has nothing to do with these "Stan" comics as far as I know. But from now on, if I ever meet anyone named Stan I will refuse to call him Stan. Most likely I will call him "dude" or something, but not Stan.

Legend, oh legend, the third wheel legend...always in the way.

Nice post, Stan.

In retrospect, I remember seeing those strips. Damn, I thought my Stan character seemed so original at the time. Oh well, original ideas blah blah blah original sin blah blah blah.
