Tweet A friend of mine recently posted a link to a webcomic I used to read regularly. Following that link did two things: 1) It made me realize just how long it’s been since I’ve checked in on the characters in that strip and 2) it reminded me just why I loved the comic so… Continue reading Nothing More Than Feelings
