You're going to have to learn how to not be so dense, kid, or you're
going to be an ass your entire life.  You don't want to be an ass your
entire life do you?  There's no reason not to do another if it is easy.
That's all there is to it.  You are lying to us or fooling yourself if
you claim that as the justification for not doing another one.  Running
out of material is easier to believe, but considering that all it takes
is crap jokes and weak humor, I'd say you're simply scared, too
frightened to post another in case it doesn't come out as well as the
last.  Nothing wrong with that.  But you have to admit it, whether you
do another cartoon or not, or it will rot your brain from the inside.
