Three for Tuesday.

This was March 19999, heading into Spring Break, and I thought I'd do a little lead up to a storyline with the tension of Tad having come out to his mother, but not having heard back from her. I also came out to my mother on paper - for some reason it's cracking me up right now that it was printed on dot matrix - and got the "well now that we know let's never speak of it again."

To which I replied by sending her every brochure and printed out article I could find. Because if you tell me not to do something....

Minor things: Zen is way, way more active here than I have ever seen him, and it feels a bit out of character.

The strip ran three days a week, and then got bumped to four - as Tad and Zen are undergrads going to school for four years, I often referred to things that happened in between strips, as if more time had passed for them then the reader. Because I obsess about these things.
