Welcome Back, Andy! (No Joke. It is April Fool’s Day.)
But listen to your Doctor.
I’m sure he is really trying to get you back to as close to normal as he can.
At least our normal.
Gook Luck and Hope for a Happy April.
I am very glad to see you back. I know what a stroke can do to people and that you have recovered enough to restart the strip is a good thing. I won’t jinks it by saying best of health so break a leg.
Ah, so now we get to see how our vote incentive plays into this.
And a welcome back from me too Andy. Be safe & be well.
What a welcome welcome welcome surprise! Thanks!
Good to hear from you again. Sorry to hear about your troubles – we are all rooting for you. Bottom line: do your best and get better. Let’s see 7 months gap then 3 – I hope this “halving” trend continues. That would be a positive indicator of your progress…
By my math, the gap between “Batty” and “Approval Rating” was closer to nine months. I’m hoping this “thirding” trend continues, but I’ll settle for “halving”. ^_^
But we don’t get to see The Baron yet? Ah, well, hopefully we’ll get to find out if The Baron works for Mercy or vice versa. ^_^
Woot. Glad to hear you are still fighting your way forward
Just keep on trucking Andy!
Nice to see Mercy (mercy me 😛 ) using an ‘olde fashioned’ type-writer 😀
Well of course someone in her profession would embrace “dead” technology. 😉
Ooh, now that we have a good scale reference… Yummy… I’d really like a Raven on my desk… Unifoorm is all right… 😀
One minor problem: sometime between panel four and panel six, Mercy’s desk moved
In panels three and four, we can clearly see a door and a blank wall to her right, in panel six, the door is gone and now there is a bank of lockers
It is the otherside of Limbo. Maybe the rules are different there.
That just has to be deliberate.
Welcome back, Andy!
I feel like I need to read the series over from the beginning to refresh everything in my memory. Poor pitiful me.
YAY New comic 🙂
You know it says something that TMI was basically not updated for a year and its still in the top 10
I am so glad to see you back I hope your recovery is going well
Ok, the filing cabinet I can accept, but why are there gym lockers in the boss’s office?
Weapons lockers
Because sometimes they have particularly nasty people die, and it leaves a bad stench on their uniforms that they need to change out.
I was honestly not expecting this to be updated again. call me pleasantly surprised. take care of yourself, ok?
Hurrah you’re back again- hope you’re getting steadily better
Odd how Michelle was also a spectral reincarnated several times as a baby bird, yet she was human-sized.
Maybe it has to do with spectral energy, or self-perception (couldn’t get used to seeing the world through human-sized eyes, so split the difference).
Another question:
Her line: “Mu- Ma’am…” looks like she was about to say something else. Can’t think of many words starting with “mu” that make sense to me though…
Reading this comic for years has taught me I need to pay attention to the small hints Andy drops! ^_^
(I wonder what I said that garnered a downvote? (shrug))
Re: Raven’s little slip of the tongue… I remember now from her introduction she had a very thick cockney (?) accent. The “Mu-” could have been “Mum.”
Is Mercy her mother? How’d that work?
Mercy: “I got very drunk at a Halloween party and woke up with a hangover beside a literal crow. I thought it just got in a window and was there to steal the pizza crusts… at least until 17 days later when I laid an egg.”
Raven: “…………That t’aint what ye tol’ me when aye was comin’ up, Mum.”
Mercy: “Of course it isn’t. You were a child. I’m a cranky nihilist, not a monster. Welcome to adulthood. Sucks don’t it?”
