It works especially well when not in the original format; spoof articles or ads in no way affect the current suspended story line or challenge Alison's ownership (legally or conceptually) of the strip, you can clearly see how they are companion pieces. There are all manner of things in the DTWOF universe that could be imagined for laughs, (baby photos of the characters maybe), and could be set a bit like assignments, either by Alison or proposed by ourselves. Keep to other formats and keep away from what is essentially the strip drawn by other people (all though the substitutes were wonderful) and the thorny issues of ownership and continuity should be avoided.
