     Well, it's time to admit that I really don't think I'll ever finish the
Crazy Guy series, or even do another issue.  I simply no longer feel a drive
to write about Jack and his cast of dozens.  So, rather than let my legion of
reader twist in the wind, I figured I'd post a sort of wrap-up, explaining
where the plots were going to go and so forth.  Yeah, it's not as good as
having actual stories, but at least you won't be wondering anymore.
     First, I should point out that while I had some long term plans, a LOT
of the time I was just winging it.  I'd set up cliffhangers without any clear
idea at the time how to get out of them.  That's what happened with #30's
cliffhanger.  And I still haven't figured out how I'd want Jack to get
himself out of that sticky situation, sorry.
     And now for the wrap-up.  I'll cover the general plot first, then go
over each character and subplot that I can think of.

THE PLOT:

     After a bit more time working for Hell(TM) Inc., Jack would have entered
the commodities pits in Chicago and used his skills to leverage his way into
a position of wealth.  Then, traveling to New York, he would have wreaked
bloody financial carnage on Wall Street, ending up the new majority
stockholder of Hell(TM) Inc.  The intention would be to use his new power as
majority stockholder to cancel his own contract.
     However, Jonesy actually hoped something like this would happen, for two
reasons.  One, it would take the load of paperwork off his back for a while
and put it on Jack (and you can see that if I did write this now, I'd have to
set it all before RX's work in de-corporatizing Hell(TM)).  Two, Power
Corrupts, yes?  There's be a strong temptation to take the assembled forces
of 666NASTYNASTYNASTY and beat the heavenly snot out of the gods of
973HONGKONGFILMS, thus getting them off the backs of him and his dad.  At
this point, I don't really know how far along this path I'd let Jack go
before eschewing the power and resigning from Hell(TM) Inc.  However, he
certainly WOULDN'T go far enough to actually get Erlang and the others off
his back for good, and once out from under Hell(TM)'s protection, he'd find
himself hunted down by them.  The gods might even have allied with the Red
Squirrels. 
     Rawluk and I also talked about a possible crossover, or at least
cameo-over, but we both kinda stopped writing Superguy about the same time.


CHARACTERS, SUBPLOTS AND MACGUFFINS:

     Ben Sidhe - In case anyone didn't figure it out, she was destined to
become a love interest.  Of course, I meant for this to take quite a while,
since she started out hating his guts.  The guilt she felt over inadvertently
leading him into the clutches of Satan was going to be a big part of her
attitude reversal.  If I decided to let Jack go almost to the verge of
accepting his role as CEO of Hell(TM) Inc., Mairi would have been the one to
pull him back, beating some sense into him if need be.  Afterwards, she'd
help train him in mastering his chi so that he could survive being chased by
all those irate gods.

     Squirrels in General - Jonkatta's report to his superiors would probably
have gotten the Reds off Jack's case and put that subplot on the back
burner.  Gwen, however, has a personal beef, and would have gone rogue,
perhaps with the support of elements within the Reds who did not support the
cease in hostilities.  Basically, as Ben Sidhe became less of an enemy and
threat, Gwen would have become more of one.  Louie, of course, would continue
hanging out with Jack, but he's not really a squirrel.

     Hans Kartoffelkopf - No real plot plans for him.  Just occasional
appearances for humor's sake.

     Sister Sara - No idea, really.  Her main use would be to make Jack feel
guilty about trying to take over Hell(TM), but since Mairi's the one who
would pull him back from the brink, that makes Sara kinda redundant to that
plot.  

     The Five Brothers - They continue to make cameos in RX's stuff.  }->

     The Tongs/Triads - Slow Moe Shen would have helped Jack in his financial
adventure, giving him seed capital and access to the local commodities
market.  Once Jack made a splash there, he would have been able to go to
Chicago.  One possibility is that Jack could have given his shares in
Hell(TM) Inc. to Shen after canceling his own contract, but that would now
contradict stuff done with Hell(TM) Inc.

     The Movie Crew - They might have come back into the act once the Hell's
(TM) CEO plotline resolved, not really sure.

     And that's pretty much it.  Anything else left as a dangler, either I
don't remember it, had no idea how to resolve it, or never intended it as
anything more than a throwaway gag.  If you have any specific questions, feel
free to ask me and I can add the answers to this file.

                                    -FIN-
