Not a question but congrats on getting your twitter account back, I was afraid you'd lost it forever, lol :toot: .

Thank you lol I feel pretty dumb about it, and touched that so many people cared. Made me miss being active in more online places.

What is Larry selling out of his van? He seems to have a prep table but not a refrigerator and it seems like this got started a little too early for him to be a legal weed delivery boy (also the box is too big).

Just doing non-specific gig deliveries.

No question, just thanks for making this add-on to such a great comic. As someone who's going to be 30 this year, OP really speaks to me. It was like catching up with old friends.

I'm hearing this sentiment a lot, that people feel close and familiar with the characters and it's really life affirming I gotta say. Thanks so much.

Did you always kinda know where the characters would wind up years later at the end of OP or was writing this story the first time you'd really thought about it? I mean, obviously a lot had to change due to COVID, but just the general idea.

A little of each, though the window of what I wanted to show changed. My first pass had a lot of things that were in hindsight still "20s stuff" like weddings, deciding to have a baby, getting closure on that long-term relationship. Not that people only do these things in their 20s (I did not), but they all felt more transitional from the previous thing than an actual crossing over to a new place. Let's see them in the marriage, on an irreversible parenthood track, cutting through the bullshit to the essence of love... that's the new poo poo!!

But anyways even without being familiar with the cast I really enjoyed the coda and it's a testament to the writing that despite knowing basically nothing it was enjoyable to read and all the characters resonated.

Glad to hear! I knew the story would reward the longtime reader, but I try not to be too alienating or self-referential in my work.
