The Yin In Space storyline is finally through! Interesting thing is, at least one reader in the forum made a pretty close guess to today's twist, which amused me. I tried to lay a few hints here and there without telegraphing it ... I don't know if they got the hints or were just looking for a twist to apply. :)
It's a slightly sad moment of course, because this is probably the last appearance of Yin as a regular cast member, and she is a fun character. But with this story, she's outgrown her role of "wacky roommate," and as she herself said, there's no way she could go back to that now. The big irony is that Tiffany, the star, plays at being a space hero, while Yin, the wacky roommate, is off to become the real deal. Funny old world! :D
Will there ever be stories about the adventures of Arden and Yin traveling through time and space with a license but without a TARDIS? I don't know at this stage. I don't have any plans for such, but when it comes to the creative process I'm inclined to never say never. Certainly there won't be any by the end of the current strip.
After all this, it's gonna be difficult to get my mind back in the "Cheers With Furries" mindset that Suburban Jungle was designed around. Maybe I should go back and reread some of the really early strips. Considering their age and what I was going through as I drew them, I'm often amazed at just how well those hold up. :)

rhanlav -- fear not, Squash and Stretch have not been "written out". We'll see more of them!

Thank you!
And I suspect this is not the last we've seen of Catscratch, either. Heh...this was kinda like X-Files meets The Prisoner meets Doctor Who.
And stretch is right. Time travel makes your head hurt.
Which is why Larry Niven wrote an essay claiming that it was not possible.

Yin mysteriously vanished, so Tiffany hired Squash and Stretch to find her.
They do, and Arden time-jumps them back to a point before Tiffany became concerned about Yin's mysterious disappearance.
And now, Yin is about to embark on a career of jaunting through time and space with Arden.
She seems to want to make a clean break from her own life.
We've seen no indications that she's even planning to leave a NOTE for Tiffany, much less say good-bye to everyone, explain that she's leaving, pack a bag...
In other words, she's going to mysteriously vanish.

OK, which of them is Romana and which is K-9?
"Oh my god, the Fanfiction..."
:P
We are in a car. (Sorry, the video seems to be missing)
This is a nice way to end the story. Things get wrapped up and you neatly excise Suburban Jungle's paranormal/science fiction elements. Plus, it's a starting point should you ever get the urge to write science fiction.
Ageis J. Hyena, signing off, over and out.
Then again, I'm really going to miss coloring the SJ when it rolls up.
Yes, I realize they wear clothes, but they could live in the same universe as Sabrina (clothes look like the fur)
Lot more color if you take the entire cast into account.
