So this is it: the final farewell of the original run. For this occasion, I managed to pull some strings with the head editor (Chris Watson, the guy who was the basis for Phoebe’s date), and he got me a […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Well, here it is: the beginning of the end. This strip starts the last storyline of the original run, which ultimately concludes at strip #80. I know that eighty strips may seem a small number, and looking back on it, […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Fun with cheezies. And video games. If anyone’s wondering, Colin and Daphne seem to be playing some incarnation of Crimson Skies. That game kicked (for the PC anyway), though few people seem to remember it. Another example of normalcy all […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
