I know there are a lot of fans on this message board. You’ll all be pleased to hear that following an 18 month hiatus, as of The Ides Of March, Casey & Andy are back.
Updates once per week, for now.

Alright. C & A is back. I’ll be sparing most of your lives.

I guess Satan must have sent them back from the afterlife, eh?
Good news indeed. Maybe it’s an omen - mabe Medium Large will return soon as well.

YAY! I thought it was really annoying that he quit in the middle of a story.

Oh, but Weir says he’s putting the strip down permanently after completing the current story arc. ☹

Yeah, that made it doubly annoying. It’s like, dude, if you’re going to finish the strip FINISH the strip. Don’t leave us hanging with, like, 20 strips to go (or whatever it takes)
I’m sure he’ll keep doing comic stuff. Cheshire Crossing is rather cool.

That’s fine. One has only to read a post-92 Spenser novel to be convinced a series should end when the author loses interest. So long as the series resolution includes a tasteful shower scene starring Jenn and Satan --or Jenn and Mary–or, hell, Jenn & JJ–I’ll be happy.

I’m glad that he’s finishing the story, but I honestly never liked it when Weir wrote long arcs: the long stories stood on the strength of their characters, but the stand-alone stuff is what really made the comic shine for me. (I started reading it entirely on the strength of the Quantum Speeding Ticket strip.)
