Is it too late to ask for a tag? :ohdear:

I don't post much but I do spend a lot of time here...

Once I'm settled down though I was thinking of scanning and posting strips from my old Madam & Eve collections, but looking back they're SUPER 90's South Africa

Mary knows how much of a disaster Wilbur and Dawn are, so she already suspects Dawn will somehow fall into an affair without her knowing.

One peculiar aspect of this artistic development in Mark Trail is that all characters are perfectly visually distinct from each other yet I have no idea who any of them are.

Even in Judge Parker I have at least a very vague idea.

Is this a Titanic storyline?

Also, the Mark Trail faces reminds me of Horly Shorly from Please Forgive Me!!!

There was some bad Mark Trail art at the end of the Yeti arc, but a lot of it was somewhat competent. Or at least, a different kind of bad. Someone filled in for James. Or is currently filling in.

Oh my god no don't give him ideas.

I just got the tag, but, like, I kinda want the Seagull tag more than the RACCOON GANG one. Frig. How Wonderful! or BIRD if you're still doing the thing, please? I like the other tags too much to get rid of them.

It's inspiring to see so many Comics Criminals coming back to the side of sweetness and light and Sluggo.

Also thanks everybody for the kind words and it was a real treat to wake up for my first post-shutdown day of teaching and see so many dapper-looking seagull avs. And has been endlessly iterated, thanks again to Huxley for the beautiful work and Literally A Bird for the backend virtuosity.
