Before being a Kev fan (although I've been a J&SB fan since the MTV Shorts), I read on Dark Horizons that he had thought about killing one of them.
But you're right...poor fucking fanboys will miss their dick and fart jokes...but there's no reason to complain. I know he's oft-mentioned a period piece, and I think instead of trying to extinguish that thought (I mean, C'mon...Kev making fun the 80s...how cool could that be?) many should embrace it...
And also, I have a thought that while the Askewniverse is dead on celluloid, it could always live through the comics...

: I know Kevin said he wants to move on from Jay and Silent Bob after his next flick or two - which I agree with him on - but I didn't see him say anything about killing them or obliterating the Askew-niverse... simply about moving on.
: I'm not sure I think there's a good artistic reason to kill them or what-have-you, although the number of people who are so disturbed by the idea might actually be a good argument in favor of doing it. It makes me sad when people argue *against* Kevin growing as a writer. That's a pretty crummy kind of fan, I think...
