Original Commentary

I went back to the very first Unlike Minerva comic for the color scheme, before realizing that Brisbane wasn't shown wearing his traditional ascot and high-collar shirt. One of the things I like about YSIF instead of UM is that since I'm the only artist, I can dress the characters however I want. They had set outfits, so people could tell who was who. I, personally, do not miss the days when other people drew Unlike Minerva - Isabel

Modern Commentary
So, March 15th 1999 is about when Unlike Minerva started. The first time. It ran for half a year before I rebooted the whole thing with Kimberly in it.

The pre-reboot original run of Unlike Minerva was a weird, snarling mess that made fun of everything at once in its own barely-coherent way. There are some decent jokes there, but if anything works its because of heroic efforts by the many artists I worked with.

I rebooted the comic and took most of that out of continuity, so the question of "when did Brisbane arrive at the Minerva Theatre" has a complex answer.- Terrence
