I guess that even on the occasional glance back into these folders all these years ago I never made this far into a re-read. The San Francisco thing is definitely Harvest saying “gay is hilarious” which comes off at lot less homophobic than most of the comics I skipped. Seeing as there’s nothing actually hateful or judgy, I’m not going to censor or eliminate the strip.
I can hear very clearly in my head Ryan saying his first speech bubble in his strip. He had this amazing tone that he could muster in a cutting question that both precise and blunt. He could with just a question make your entire existence swirl around you. None of it would make any sense for a quick second. I always actually laughed out loud when he did it to others, ruining his moment.
Yeah, we are probably off on to a big storyline with Gina in the third strip. I think it actually entails two separate arcs that I had convinced myself were two separate stories. We’re also nearing the end of the chapter, so I think we’re starting to taste some long haul fictional continuity. This is great, because real life was very boring by this point.
