I started writing these comics a year and a half ago. I would to a writing hour with a friend at a coffee shop, and when I didn’t feel like writing something substantive, I would jot down comics ideas. A lot has happened since then, not the least of which is that the coffee shops have been closed.
So it’s weird to look at this strip now that I haven’t been in a coffee shop for a year. My first thought is that any kid who climbs into a hippo pen should stay at least six feet apart from the animals and really should be wearing a mask. I guess that means I can look forward to seeing Niles and Nash getting vaccinated in late 2022.
