Hello, I picked up this strip about two weeks ago. I went back and read the last couple hundred and found myself interested enough to go back to the beginning and read them all.
On Friday I finished the daunting task of plowing through the 3,000 or so strips.
I was struck by how much has changed for the characters over the last two years. For the first decade of this strip, things stayed fairly static. Marten and Dora developed their relationship, Sven was a douche, Hanners was an adorable mess, and Faye was, well, Faye.
The explosion of characters over the last couple years has been quite the change. I'll be looking forward to see where they go in the future.
