Own it all! Drain it all!] Dupes are sometimes more fun to play than Heros. TOON is perfect in the sense that it doesn't matter what happpens. My favorite character,Herr Doktor Verrueckter, is a Mad Scientist (DUPE). He may fail in his efforts all the time, but when he gets gronking, he *outperforms* all the Heros. It isn't what happens, but *how* it happens that matters in TOON. Everybody has to admit that Wile E. Coyote is easier to be totally silly and hammed up with than the Road Runner. (Although Tweety Bird is a good Hero) -- -- Dave Long -- {fortune,idi,ios,hplabs,tymix}!oliveb!toml {allegra,ihnp4,msoft,tty3b,uvacs}!oliveb!toml
