So here's the deal with the Sluggy Freelance Halloween Party. What was going to happen is I would've drawn all the Buffy stuff at one time, then gotten ready to have Moriarty crash the annual Sluggy Freelance Halloween Party.

(The party is sort of an annual tradtion at Sluggy Freelance. Each year there's a party and a demon shows up to (attempt to) kill the main character. Hilarity ensues.)

So Moriarty goes to crash the party. I'd read that day's Sluggy, try to guess where the storyline is going, and that evening draw the next day's PE(aott) with Moriarty in the background of the party. Never actually interacting with the main cast or even drawing any of the characters in the strip, mind you. Just sort of floating around in the background.

And, as a true party crasher, I wouldn't tell the fine folks at Sluggy Freelance that I was doing this. (I should come clean here. I did get permission for the non-crossover event you've already read.)

Anyway, Pete totally sabotaged my plans by having the Halloween Party storyline start and end weeks before Halloween actually came about! In fact, it was going during the Buffy part of the Buffy Freelance storyline. By the time the Freelance part started, the party was over!

GAH!

Maybe next year...
