Hooray! The stars of the series aren't dead!
So as the story approaches it's end, behind the scenes, Jeff and I are hard at work putting together not only the book collecting this story, (including a six page epilogue that will only be in the book.) but also the second collection of our original small press DFS stories. It's a heck of a lot of work, and we're trying to do it while still keeping this story going, working on the next story, and all that regular life stuff. But it's all coming along, and we'll see if we can't share some of it as we get closer. Oh who am I kidding, we'll be making a big deal out of it.
You may be more right than you know, but not in the way you might think.
That being cryptically said, it brings up an Indy staple we never did manage to fit into the story. The gross critter scene. This first new story was a real learning experience for us. The writing was done more as we went along than when we were writing for 20 page issues back in the black and white days. It may actually be a bit more like the old serials Indy was based on, put the heroes into a situation, and then next week figure out how they are going to get out of it. But what got lost along the way were some of the other elements we had thought to do, but never found a place for. The scene with the nasty creepy things like snakes, rats, bugs or Monorvian creeping thnigles never found it’s way into the story. Your idea is about right though, we could have had a moment here with piranha like critters in the water. But, it’s not to be. I’ll console myself by believing there is a scene after this with Jay, Celeste, Irwin and the baddies attacked by something horrid.
We also haven’t managed to do the fridge joke. We actually wrote a short story we wanted to do as a mini-comic to sell at conventions that took place before this one with Alex and Walter’s first day on the job as couriers. But time hasn’t allowed for that story either. Darn this working for a living!

This is a nice way of displaying consequences while also revealing something unexpected could be waiting because of the nature of swimming.
