There’s a few strips in the archive that I don’t know what to do with. There’s only about 3 of them total, and over the course of the last 20 years, I’ve lost the frame of reference. I genuinely don’t remember who these characters are supposed to be, and why they have no connection to me at all.
It’s strange, as that is probably how most people feel reading Flatliner. I shouldn’t feel that way, though? Right? It is a comic that was meant to keep track of my own inside jokes. If it didn’t do that, then it fails? I don’t know- there may be an apocrypha collection for some of the less offensive strips, if they can be edited into something comprehensible.
Today we have the second Plymouth Rock strip. I definitely named a Geodude or two things like 1620 or PlyRock back in the day. Geodude is the most hilarious Pokemon. I should have referenced him in the strip.
This also has the one and only appearance of Dan. Dan is a hilarious human being who can boil anything down to just the fun parts and make everything else disappear. However, even admitting the slightest lack of knowledge of Symphony of the Night would set his internal rage alight. You were supposed to know that shit, at all times.
Ryan is in heaven, investigating the loose ends left over from the Death of Harvest of story arc. He’s on brand.
