As a non fashion person, IS Dustin's outfit particularly bad?

It's not. It's not something I would call "dress to impress" but it's a nice outfit, and good for almost all situations.

Again a very likpatous story
He wears a collared shirt and khakis which is a hell of a lot more dressed up than your average goon like me, who just wears a t shirt and basketball shorts everywhere.

Even by the standards of "angry boomer" he's dressed pretty respectably.

Was Jason one of the TV cast and crew mysteriously murdered?

Jason was the curate that served the rectory before Billie arrived. We only ever see him in a flashback in issue 3 of the print comic. Exactly what happened to him was never explained, but presumably he met his end fighting one of the various mermen / sea monsters that menace Tredregyn. My theory is that the creature that emerged from the sea on Maggie's Harley at the end of part 3 and has been lurking in the background these past two pages is either Jason's zombified corpse or some sort of mockery creature, most likely conjured by Maggie's father, Bob Warren, to mess with Rev. Penrose.

Jason was mentioned in part 1 of the Clotted Crime story, it seems he had been doing research on the various sea monsters;

It reminds me of an old Guinness shirt I had.

That and one of the local schools who had black (reversible with white stripe) kit. Ours was red (reversible with black stripe).

Yeah, I've done a (very) few for this iteration of the thread, but I've found that a lot of the time they end up getting overlooked because the thread itself moves fairly quickly and is filled with a lot of content. It can be mildly discouraging to come up with something and have it get buried, so most of the time I just don't bother anymore, unless it's something I think is particularly good.
I think this is part of it too. I have to catch up to this thread pretty much every day, so even when I see an edit, I don't always think to comment on it by the time I get to where I'm posting. I just looked back and I did 4-5 edits this year but they weren't particularly funny, so I really can't blame anyone for lack of comment on mine, personally.

But I also think this thread has evolved from making fun of comics to actually enjoying them. Sure there are some thread hate-reads but we don't spend much time on the comics we used to make fun of anymore, and some of those have changed significantly (Mark Trail, for example).

If Newspaper Spider-Man was still going though boy howdy we'd have edits.

He uses a pseudonym because his real name is Jake Rowling, not to hide his identity, right? If he reveals his real name (assuming people can't already look it up) all it'll be is an amusing bit of trivia. There's no mystery about who he is. He does signings and stuff, right? Even if his identity is secret, what's the big deal? The media presumably want to interview Sarah because she's some kind of child prodigy (again). This guy's just an ordinary children's book author. If anything, the media are going to ask him about Sarah because she's still the story.
I thought he was just going to make public the fact that he's having a kid, but instead of that dumb thing it's this dumb thing.

Fashions that ape the styles of the early 90's are still pretty en vogue with young people, but I anticipate that we're going to move into late 90's/early 00's nostalgia relatively soon. Dustin's oversized rugby shirt is like two years away from being very hip again.

I kind of hope the retro 90s/00s style extents to electronics, and they get all blob-shaped and made of translucent colored plastic again. That was a fun look.
