😅 Jesus Christ. If you ever kill off Choo-Choo Bear there’ll be riots. Just accept that the cat is functionally immortal and too clever to be killed and leave it be, please!
And seriously, thanks for not putting us through that! 🤣 Hope you have a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year, and wishing you a better 2026!
The world is still depressing as hell, Randy, so if you could *not* kill anyone else off or cause grievous harm to them that would be great. Pleeeeeease? Thankyouloveyoubye
I love these alternate visions bts. Like the planned ending of Davan drifting away from everyone and then just leaving one day with no explanation or how Kestrel was never going to be seen again after her accident. It highlights how lucky we are for the effort Randy makes for us.
Death scenes can be very poignant. Fred’s was. And IRS, oh, *chefs’ kiss* Just pacing this out is so much more delicious than everything at once hitting like a truck. I’m too old to eat a lot of dessert at once any more.
Davan getting a heart attack or other injury and surviving could be interesting, I imagine jokes along the lines of “he was this bitter before the injury too” and his sister showing lots of Macintire tough love support.
I hope this helps balance the earlier commenters. I know their anger is in jest, you know it’s in jest, but does your anxiety? We both seem to be the sort to cope with black humor. Thank you for your gift, a drama that cuts through the numbness, you have brought something positive to my life. <3
The last snippet of old strips I’d read was the crow whose name I forgot hopping onto Fred’s chest while Fred was sleeping, took Fred’s handkerchief out of his pocket, dabbed the drool off Fred’s face with it, put the hanky back in Fred’s pocket, then snuggled up to him with a heart speech balloon.
I’d honestly love to know what the plan for Davan’s death mentioned in the last panel actually was, I’ve always wondered. And how exactly the originals of Aubrey and PeeJee went about informing Uncle Randy it wouldn’t be happening (as I recall the tale).
I’ve told you this before, but S*P got me through some really dark times, so I appreciate you not doing that to me during some *other* really dark times. I hope you’re doing well through the current round of dark times, both your personal ones, and the general ones we’re all experiencing. You and your work are important to a lot of people. Hugs if you need ’em.
On the flip side one of the storylines that did appear during the End Times was one of my favorite things ever. That was where Karisma came down from her mountain hideout mid-pandemic confused as to what happened. And more confused as to why a respiratory virus would cause a toilet paper shortage.
Choo-Choo Bear was riddled with cancer and 25+ years old when he was introduced! If that cat’s not dead already he’s not going to die. We love him, because, as PeeJee indicated, chemo-kitties need extra love!

Thank you for saving that emotionally raw experience for a later date. Ooh, something to look forward to!
Also, happy holidays?

Thank you for dropping those arcs, Randy, and thank you for keeping this comic going despite all the headwinds of life.
All the best to you & yours & hopes for a better new year!

That’s how I know Fred was the Odin of Texas.
I’ve always loved that ” Here’s my milk money for the week Lord” gag that Fred did.
The crows name was IRS.
Sadly I did not. Save any strips with him in it.
