minus-squarespankinspinach@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 month agoOh cool! Kind of like the idea of a serial (in newspapers where they’d do a chapter of a book a week or whatever)?
minus-squareJcbAzPx@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 month agoYeah, like that. That’s also how they would run serial shows at movie theaters before TV. Simpsons only got one story before it became it’s own thing, though.
