I grew up in southwestern PA and drank every cheap beer that came my way in my youth. Iron City was worst way before Coors Light was introduced in the dark days of the ’80s.

Rule of thumb: Never drink Iron City unless it’s on draft, and you’re in Allegheny County, and you have a shot of Jim Beam first to numb your tongue. 😀

“I think Artie has peculiar musical tastes, due partly to possessing a different hearing range than humans, and partly to being Artie.”

This… this line is awesome. Prior to reading this, I have thought of so many hilarious ways this idea could be applied to so many non-human characters (usually robots), but I’ve never seen it phrased this perfectly.

*SPOILER* Just remember what Mell will be like when she starts studying law, and how she interacts with her classmates. *END SPOILER*

I love the fact that Mell’s eyebrow in panel 3 is actually curling all the way around. You should’ve pursued this logical continuation of your unique art style!

Today is a good day to notice for the first time that Mell’s neck is unnaturally thin and elastic. Superhero Mell with Mr. Fantastic powers confirmed?
