I'd like to think that I've spent a fair amount of effort in proper character development for this series, and that it's really starting to show.

Of course, with a character as complex and deep as The Slug, it's impossible to isolate just one. Probably the greatest influence would be, of course, Ralph Waldo Emerson. Next, of course would be that other notable New Englander John Ratzenberger. Wait, no, that was the guy that played Cliffy on Cheers, wasn't it?

Ok, maybe not him. Hang on... Darn it, he was the voice for the Yeti in Monster's Inc and the Assistant Manager in Spirited Away... who the heck was that? I think he was also in Timestalkers...

Darn it, I hate it when I can't remember names...
