“What the heck is going on here?”
“What do you mean you haven't read it for a year?” said Spring. [1]
“I just haven't,” I said.
“You hook me on Sluggy Freelance [2] and yet you haven't kept up!”
“Well, smart pushers never take their own merchandise,” I said, dodging a
flying keyboard.
That was a couple of days ago. So tonight I hunkered down and caught up with
a years worth of Sluggy Freelance [3]. Fire and Rain [4] has to be one of the
best story arcs Pete Abrams has done for Sluggy (and like Dave Sim's Cerebus
[5], Sluggy Freelance is one of those comics that you pretty much have to
read from the start or else it doesn't really make all that much sense; and
also like Cerebus, the artwork has progressed wonderfully).
Now I finally can make in-jokes with Spring and Rob [6].
