Maybe... but it kinda already is. I'm not sure if much more is needed.

hmm, yes, that would be interesting... I think Abel deserves his own comic... and if he did get his own comic, we wouldn't have to wait a week for each update o_o @_@ xD

I really don't think he having his own comic would mean a boost on updates...

besides I think it IS his own comic, except he doesn't have one page dedicated only for him.

The current Abel's Story is limited, period. It will eventually link up with the SAIA arc, history-wise.

If it is to "spin-off", it would generally mean that either Amber would have to write, draw, and colour a whole new series (would pick up after the wedding arc, probably); overloading whatever workload she already has--

--or someone else can write the comic, that would be a lot more likely to happen. It would also mean that person would have to adjust whatever story s/he has in mind to the timeline wherein Abel appears in DMFA. Plus it'd probably take some artistic liberties (characters in a comic reflects facets of a writer's personality) that would alienate most Abel fans, and eventually make it a thankless, fruitless job.

It would also be a narcissistic point of view. Only him, every comic, every update? Abel is nice, but too much of anything goes bad. Comics like this would generally have to have a few more characters-- meaning more work, more writing of backstories, or having to take permissions for existing ones.

Finally; It'd be a new comic, if anything, rather than a spin-off.

I like Abel where he is right now no spin-off for him.

So far so good, as long as Abel becomes a regular for the main comic strip (he probably will be) I'm  :]. I just hope we get close to 200 pages for Abel's Arc.

I don't think Abel should have a spin-off. He's a basically a new character and has not establised firmly at Lost Lake or with the DMFA Regulars just yet. I will be a very long time till he does establish his character but right now no spin-off for Abel.

I didnt want to rain on any hopes or parades, but I've been of the mind that once Abel's Story is complete, I would either take the Saturday slot and give it to the story involving Mikelo and the Mab's Land characters...or possibly another story I have had my eyes on.

It's hard to say really since it'll be a while till Abel's Story is done and who knows what the future holds.

Either way I wouldn't count out other characters getting more serious side-stories in the future.  Maybe not as massively huge...but its always a possibility.

The real question is "Should Abels Story end?"  As originally conceived, it was intended as a short story introducing a new character.  The story has grown longer in the telling.  If Amber wanted to, she could prolong it indefinitely.  I understood the poll to be asking if she should do that.

I voted no, as I would prefer Ambers talents to be concentrated in a single storyline, not spread out over several.

Stig: Amber's already said she intended to fill in most of the "important" past points up to the present, and the story already has a definite end. It's just that where along the number of strips it ends is going to be the tough part.

Um...so two entire story archs with 70% of the strips containing Abel and the current story arch and his own story arch seem to make him an unestablished character. He might be new but he is established, he's Dan's mentor for probably 2 DMFA years.

Would one of those be the one featuring the characters on the top of http://www.mabsland.com/Art5.html  :eager

That would be one of the most amusing crossovers ever. I'm pretty sure her City Mayor would be a complete space-case... or a diabolical mastermind.
