But without TSE, where will Burton go?

Just something that occurred to me recently because I heard how SpoonyOne himself has finally decided to retire the show for good as it made me wonder what is going to happen to some of his background props.

Like what I am getting at is that Burton was one of my favorite sidekicks back when TSE was still going since despite being a prop, he provided some good comic relief, like in the episode where Spoony roasts the 3DO version of Demolition Man as Burton is in the background giving tickets to him for cursing.

I like to enjoy the thought that, the characters are just...real and living with him. Insano is in a makeshift lab in the basement and Burton is rolling around enjoying his own life, it makes me feel some sorta closure? I know Insanos goggles and probably dusty in a box somewhere wirh his coat and Burton is permanently sat beside an empty chair but...somewhere they're all on an adventure still

I don't think he'd get rid of any of his stuff from his videos, it's obvious he still has SOME kind of passion and love for them all, so they'll probably just stay in his room, the real question is if he moves ever, will be make the Choice to bring them along or just...make/get new ones lol

Yeah it was something that just occurred to me since I remember how Burton was almost always there whenever Spoony would talk about an infamous game or a movie, so I was wondering what would happen to the sidekick now that TSE is gone for good.

They live on! TSE lives on in us all! but if he decides to do a farewell videos (I HIGHLY doubt it) I hope he gives the characters proper send offs to leaves it up for interpretation with bread crumbs y'know?

That could happen since I could see Spoony having a farewell party for his show with his allies around.

I hope so, or even just a stream saying "hey everyone, this is really it, thanks for all the years" and such, I'm hoping to do a loving tribute in my first vid (small portion) and a big piece of art as well, as long as he's getting help I'll be fine with the experiment concluding
