A direct sequel to her first strip and a more hopeful farewell, for a character that deserves one.

My notes reveal this to have originally been planned as the penultimate strip in the series, but I had to shuffle the running order due to San Diego Comic Con somehow getting in the way. I’m guessing maybe I was still struggling with the writing on next week’s strip, so shuffled this one forward so I’d have something to illustrate before I hopped off on exciting Comic Con adventures.

Looking at my notes for this strip reveals little of use, as I was mostly busy talking about getting ready for this or that comic convention which was just around the corner. Man… I haven’t been to a convention in years! I was just thinking about getting some new books ready to make my return to the convention circuit when this pesky little pandemic wandered along. “To be continued…” on that front, I guess.

Past me didn’t have much very enlightening to say about this one, but a read of the comments of a previous strip reveals this week to at least be someone’s favourite. So Jesse, this one’s for you.

As is swiftly becoming standard operating procedure for the final seven, let’s see what Past me has to say about this one:

“This week is the Hallucinogenist’s turn to take his bow under the spot light. I never succeeded in developing a decent drug habit myself, but where I failed the Hallucinogenist excelled. And excelled and excelled. I feel rather bad for the poor fellow, really.”

Past me was quite a fan of the hyperlink, it seems.
