"I am Union" is a way cooler one-liner that it has any right to be. Also, Farahn's true face is as creepy as ever.

Reading a few surrounding weeks and this prompted me to think of two things.

1) When was the last time we saw Crystal the bartender? Is she even still alive?

2) I really need to remember this for the upcoming May 4th. A pun so good that it got an entire comic to itself. No context required.
*slow clap*

It's been almost 9 years!

BTW really nice job on the first Rithuly panel (#5). It matches perfectly with the old ones. I had to go back and look at the originals to verify that panel 5 was a new image.

I want to point out how much of a close call it actually was, for Gwynn.

That's not Rithuly, that's a somewhat lesser creature known as the Mind Wedgier.

ETA: I am *really* enjoying this trip down Sluggy Memory Lane. But I feel like if we're going to hit every Book of E-Ville beat we're going to be here a while XD.

I'm also enjoying this trip town memory lane! I agree though, that we can't do everything.

Still, I had forgotten how epic this moment was!

And no one knows the fate of Kiki! Did she ever find a sandwich in the ruins she's trapped in?

Although I'm also enjoying the build up and tie-in to stories and themes from 20 years ago. Excellent work!

Interesting that it was so long ago in real time, but in "story time" in-comic it doesn't seem that long. Especially since the updates have slowed down there can be a lot of time passing in real life while very little passes in the story.

I know I’ve seen panel 8 before, but it doesn’t seem to be in the referenced story. Help?

That's where the image came from. The text came from here: (last 2 panels)
https://archives.sluggy.com/book.php?ch ... 2003-05-29

The artwork in the 2nd-from-last panel is an improvement (re-draw) of the image at the link above. I think it's new.
