Hey everyone, I want to take away from today’s strip (I count at least two revelations!

Unfortunately, in a double whammy, my wife and [...]

I know some of you have objections to the way these flashbacks are playing out, and that’s okay. Chapter’s not over yet. A flashback heavy strip like today deserves a few annotations. [...]

All of his friends jumped on this and took to social media and the result was quite surprising. You can read all [...]

He only briefly returned after the one year time jump, but then shuttled off to Earth-Avalon almost immediately. He was great fun over there, but I’ve missed having the guy around [...]
