** Given some of the comments he's made and the way he's structuring the story, it suggests that he has planned the story out to be (probably) seven (in-universe) years long, each year being published as a book, following the British [[Boarding School]] model like so many, including [[Harry Potter]] (the most famous example), have. |

* There was some fear that this would happen to the venerable [http://www.goats.com Goats] would fall into this as the Infinite Typewriters Mega-Arc continued to add weirdness. [[Word of God|John Rosenburg]] has assured us that it is all mapped out to 2012...despite the announcement of [[Creator Breakdown|the strip ending afterwards]]. Granted it was pointed out that, if Goats was a person it would be time for its Bar Mitzvah. |

* According to [http://blog.immelmann.net/2010/10/08/the-end-of-concession/ Word Of God], this is why ''[[Concession]]'' is ending. |

* For ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'', [[Schedule Slip]] trouble + Dan Shive's love for [[Chekhov's Gun]] + his own tendency to occasionally forget stuff he did/didn't do = we should probably give up on expecting getting answers to all of the questions. He has recently been trying to get things sorted out by establishing things alluded to and having situations progress, as well as having several [[Fourth Wall Mail Slot]] bits between stories and a renewed effort to keep the strip updating 5 times a week (his recent average is probably 4.5 a week, which is pretty good, all things considered), so we'll have to see how he does. |

* ''[[Wapsi Square]]'' has been headed quickly in this direction since [[Cerebus Syndrome]] kicked in, and especially since the Calendar arc was (semi-)resolved. Creator Paul Taylor claims that it's all part of an extended story that he plotted at the comic's start; but many think he's simply making it up as he goes. The fact that all of the subplots and storylines involving the various personal relationships were unceremoniously dropped shortly after the start of the Golem Girls arc, with no attempt at a resolution, would seem to support this opinion. A few believe that the increasingly bizarre supernatural recent events may indicate something of a [[Creator Breakdown]]. |
