This storyline appears to be a bit grim, but it’s not really, I promise. I have an entire Sandy plotline mapped out with a happy ending all lined up, but it’s going to take three years for it to all happen, and we’re halfway through year two.

I’m using an inferior Bristol Board at the moment – the italic fountain pen I use for lettering has taken against it. So apologies for the spidery lettering in the next twenty strips or so. I’ll be back to the decent stuff from Daler-Rowney as soon as I locate some more.
