As an aside, who describes their own home as "a mansion"?

If you're pretentious and rich enough to take pride in living in a mansion, you'd call it "an estate", or give it a name and call it that, or maybe even "my dad's mansion", but "a mansion"? No one talks like that. It's alien.

I don't remember the earlier conversation strips ~~because who the gently caress would dedicate that much brain-space to Luann~~, but maybe she just called it a house and then everyone else who saw it called it a mansion, so she's just going with it now? "Hey, wanna come by my place?" "Holy poo poo you live in a mansion." "Wait, I--" "GUYS SHE LIVES IN A MANSION!"

gently caress... there I go giving Luann's creators benefit of the doubt. Oops.

IT'S OFFICIAL... AGAIN!

Crabgrass Launches in newspapers on the 27th of this month. It's been a nerve-wracking few months but the day is nearly here! I just want to thank all of you for sticking with me and supporting my career through these ups and downs. You guys really got me through this. being able to count on your support (both morally and financially) has made this whole thing possible. If I'd had to get a day job instead of staying focused on the strip, there's no telling where I'd be on this journey. So again. Thanks. Thanks so much.

While we wait for the comic to launch and new comics to premiere I'll be posting some of my old favorite strips and story arcs starting with "Kevin's Bad Day". Stay tuned!
