Just re-read the 2-volume softcover ‘Narbonic’ books [again] and came to re-read the archives [again]. Hi other fans!

I just linked the “can and should are different words” strip to a discussion about the incoming 2021. (2020 won?)

Also, the “phonecall” link for Helen’s origin story doesn’t seem to be loading anymore. Link rot?

Now you can answer this question: the Helena de Narbon mentioned in “Of Lovers and Madmen” is an actual Shakespeare character??!!

RIP Supermegatopia. I saw you had a link, and hoped they’d actually put something up again, but it appears to be lost to time. I miss them. They’re from Muncie, Indiana, where I was born.

Unfortunately, even after this, he still wants something from them, even if it’s only validated parking. And so his doom is sealed….

(Never mind that, unbeknownst to him, his doom was sealed years ago, when HN-Sr. first laid eyes on him.)

She looks more like a cartoonie and kookie scientist. And when you made Madblood say almost exactly the same thing (“Are you the appliance repairman? Tell me you’re the appliance repairman.”) when Dave came to work for him, I thought it was one of the funniest things I’d ever read in a comic.

I just find it funny how much comic series’ characters change before our very eyes without our knowing and then when we look back and compare the latest strip with the very first, you just kinda go, “Wow.”
