Hey all, so sorry for my long absence. Life got in the way for a minute, and before I knew it I was so far behind, but after seeing Some Guy’s comment from last month I’ve determined to :justpost: from 40 pages in the past. It’ll take me a minute to get everything reorganized so my posting might be a little erratic, but I’m back! See you when I catch up!

This is why I try to take time to comment sometimes. Good things often happen from comments. Everyone should make more comments!

Wait, was Jared supposed to be a burn victim or am I thinking of another guy?
Jared isn't ugly, he's just kind of doofy. Dawn is supposed to be far more conventionally attractive than he is.

The burn victim was another guy Dawn met in the airport, either when she decided to go for a long-distance relationship with Hugo or when she was ending it, I don't remember. He inspired her one way or the other.

The Lawrence-comes-out story was 1993, and the April story was 1995. So, maybe a year, year and a half?

(edit:) Dug a bit deeper, and it looks like we're currently around June 1993 Foobtime. So, a bit under two years.

Yeah, this is him explaining in detail how and why Kit Jr. broke the legacy of the Phantom by going and doing something else.

With any luck we'll find out why Heloise's friend apparently commits suicide over this since that was something people found odd when it got brought up earlier.

This is the best Bad Machinery ever. But iirc, it totally sucks for the girl who tripped Mildred because she is also a selkie, her coat was taken when she was a toddler by the dude there when he was a kid, so she is kinda forced to follow him around/want him/be with him because he took her coat, and it ended up thrown away. So while she is a bitch, she also is limited in how she can live because of that thrown away seal skin.

...Are you serious? In case you're actually not familiar with the broad strokes of Korean history, guy who's translating Korean comics and providing context, this was the build-up to the division and eventual civil war of Korea. Korea was the opening battleground of the Cold War, starting before the end of WWII

I admit I don't know much about Phantom lore, so I guess this could just be another, unnamed (?) friend of Heloise's that met Kit.
