There seem to be a fair number of readers who are significantly cheesed off at her for the way she broke up with Kevin... "unnecessary roughness" as it were.

It's obvious that he was horribly traumatized by it... all of his chin hair fell out. ;)

Go to Northampton. Faye always seems to have a good supply.
...Not recently, though. Getting fired for drinking at work does that to you.

And Glytch: it's only 2,956 strips! Go for it - and mind that the art does improve as time goes along. Really.

Oh, and don't look too close at strip 2316. You might see something.

Poor Hanners.

I saw Sidhekin and Jwhouk, but those are the only usernames I recognize. Maybe ElvisRevenge is our Elvis (the one with the batman avatar)?

There's a story behind 2613.

Jeph has some MH issues - nothing that he can't control (generally) without medications. Unfortunately, the little arc prior to those series of strips set him off the edge.

The "PonyLeaks Forum" (aka the QC Comic Forums) decided to band together and come up with our own "Fan Comic" for filler. We played practically every little thing that was a joke with us - people constantly shipping Hanners and angry arguments about Marigold and the relationships of the rest of the cast - and put it together in what was essentially a "love letter" to Jeph and QC.

Jeph barely tolerates the forums, but their exceptional moderation staff (of which I am NOT one, by the way) helps to keep the place civil. And after what was introduced after that strip, they needed it big time.

The house party sets him off? Huh. That must suck. I thought he just mangled his hand on something by accident.
...
And yeah, I can see why the mods would have had to flex their muscles with... Ah... What happened next. (I don't know if that still counts as a spoiler, but I'm gonna play it safe.)

It was more about some comments made on Twitter, drinking issues, plus the MH stuff. He's gone through a lot in the 12 years he's done the comic.

Back on topic: I don't think Pablo can use that shirt design for some obvious reasons...

Obviously. Just thought the classic '95 design fit the occasion, tho.

Of course, their current slogan is "GRAB SOME BUDS"... :oops:
