Man, remember ANGUS? Been a while since I last thought about that dude. I never say a character is 100% gone from the comic forever but I would be pretty surprised if he showed up again. Too many plates spinning as it is.
This feels like a very "classic QC" style of strip to me. Four panels, everybody bein' witty at each other in each speech bubble. I feel like my writing style has gotten a lot less cluttered over the years, which I think is a good thing. I don't dislike my old writing, but it feels very "busy" to me nowadays.
