SOLVER
That’s it for the Holiday Surprise. You’ll see Shauna again in 2023: this I am pretty sure of. No comics next week, but the next story, the two-part “Boys Like Fun”, begins on January 2nd. Thank you for reading this year, and tolerating my occasional enforced breaks. Let’s hope for smoother seas ahead. Merry Christmas, everyone.
“Boys Like Fun”, a thrilling new tale in two parts starts on Monday. I think you’ll enjoy this one. I’ve put everything into it. My $3 and up Patreon subscribers will be able to download part 1 as a PDF first thing on January 2nd.
Happy new year!
Welcome back for a whole new year of comics! What will they be? Beyond the first week of April, I can’t tell you (because I don’t know) but until then, a two-part Solver story. It’s got a small amount of Dean Thompson – I would say, just enough.
If you’re a Patreon subscriber ($3 a month up), you can download the whole of part 1 now.
We’ve yet to see the guardianship building come “under attack”. I’m not sure where the forces massed against it are hiding, When it all kicks off, I’m sure it’ll be like Attack On Titan. Carnage.
The breakfast that Lottie is describes is a popular dip in New Zealand. I’ve had it prepared for me and it is everything you would hope it would be, a dream in a bowl.
The owners of Bean There are a mysterious pair, and I’m not sure that we’ll discover their inner lives any time soon.
Also: who is that handy man?
No one can idle with Claire on their case. She has a hummingbird’s metabolism and sees the world at twice the speed we do.
Now, here’s a reward for you just for sticking around. A bushbaby video. DId you know that bushbabies are primates? Well, you do now.
I don’t want you to take the astral projection in this comic literally. We’d all like to astral project, come on, but Claire only pretends that she can.
Speaking of imaginary things, I’m not sure I believe the fantasy of the Lindt Chocolatier Universe. Too glossy.
Meadowhall is an iconic shopping centre in Sheffield. It is one of the UK’s first huge American-style shopping malls and needless to say it closed a lot of shops in the city centre just like every other one of them. Thanks a lot, the 1990s!
Of course, time heals all wounds and now Meadowhall is part of the South Yorkshire fabric, like bus drivers calling you “love”. It even appeared as Self Esteem’s bra at Glastonbury. Quite the moment.
There’s a little New Zealand reference in today’s comic that I hope someone will spot.
