I literally grew a year older while working on this (I blame the heatwave). I hope the next update will happen sooner!

In case you can't read Christmas's speech he said "Lourdes". In case you don't know what Lourdes is, here's a link. But really Teague's expression in that panel tells you all you need to know.

When I start worrying that I'm a soppy sentimental writer who is too soft on the characters I remind myself that I have a character named Christmas who is a teenager living between two divorced parents, one of whom is an fanatical Catholic and the other is one of those parents who try to make their kids succeed at whatever career path they failed at (in this case acting). I mean come on, more than that and it's Charles Dickens territory.

I was listening to Bowling For Soup at some point of inking this and thought that Critically Disdained is a good description of Teague's attitude, or at least the attitude he tries to keep up. We're not here to change the world, we're here to laugh at others...

Jarvis is reading Loud Era over there - if you're a cool kid like Jarvis you should read it too.
