This time we didn’t forget the gravy.
I read comics for the escapism.
The greatest.
Today’s the day!
So is this on glossy or matte paper?
We failed them. They tried to warn us, but we misunderstood the message.
Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Right back at you, Nerdbro!
