Last Big City Strip.

But maybe the start of something new?

This was the last one that printed before the paper got a major overhaul and was absorbed into some megacorp - I moved to Game Developer magazine and did a version of the strip there as well, though Tad wasn't gay, he was just a developer who went to gaming conferences. That wasn't the most fun time for me as a cartoonist.

In terms of story, this has a nice final note to it - Tad at least finally officially came out, though left a lot of wreckage in his wake. Side note: I love the cell phone. I'd just gotten a new one at the time. ;)

So the plan is to try and continue the strip from this point onward, with a second layer of old college strips to show as well (mostly because I just like everything archived together and I've needed to scan them in for years). The cartooning will be all over the place, as will the jokes, but quality was never really Out House/Mates' style. :) Thanks for reading! Let's see what happens tomorrow.
