About an hour and a half before it needed to be up, I knew that I needed to put up reaction thread for Wednesday... And that is the last I remember until now. Annoyingly, yesterday I remembered and was going to put one up, but then I checked the front page and found Pete had moved it. ---- Vote for Sluggy Freelance at Top Web Comics.

So, a dinner date with hubby saved Lorna's life in the early 70's. And she has no idea.
Ernest, we hardly knew ye. Say, any chance his coat-and-tails were actually dark red ... like a red shirt? I wonder if Kira was carrying that semiautomatic in the same place a certain sociopathic bunny does.

"The butler did it." No matter what he says.
She wanted Lorna for the last murder, how fitting! But sometimes you have to do business with the help.

Yeah, and the gang are 20-something because... look, people who have been reading comic-strip for several decades understand how that work. You don't complain that the Peanut characters are still kids.

But still, yeah . . . comics tend to freeze the characters' ages because they can.

Aw, darn, we were almost in a timeline where we didn't have to deal with Dr. Lorna. :P

Yeah, and the gang are 20-something because... look, people who have been reading comic-strip for several decades understand how that work. You don't complain that the Peanut characters are still kids. To be fair, some of the characters of Charles M. Schulz were aging as well. For example Sally who started 1959 as a newborn reached the age of a schoolkid in 1974 when her aging process came to a halt. But you can't deny that other characters are getting older, so aging is a thing in this universe. Agent Tyler is indirectly sent back about 19 yeas and lives through these years to return as an older version of himself. https://archives.sluggy.com/book.php?ch ... 2016-12-22So what is keeping the gang from aging? Nanites? Flux technology?
