Keep me running, running scared
I like drawing Mercury Novus. He's a weird little lump of a Bart/Milhouse love-child with physically impossible facial features. He has no discernible personality, motivation, or nose.* And I don't feel the affection for him as a villain that I do for Ursa Master or the Sleeping Dragon. But he's fun to draw.
On the whole, certainly, he's the maguffin for this chapter, not the driving force. I came up with him kind of hastily, which is probably why his name sounds like a car. (I actually googled it before posting the first strip of the chapter to make sure it wasn't already the name of a car.) And minus one fun scene I thought of, he'll most likely vanish forever after this chapter wraps up.
But he is fun to draw.
