That part with the dad just broke my heart. You were nice above and beyond the call of duty, Jim. Nice yarn. Molly, the art is great as well. You guys make a dynamite team.

Loved this - wonderful, soft pencilling - and truly relatable characters. Like Nick said - I want more of this deviant “closeted” guy’s story!

Thanks for reading, folks! Unfortunately, I don’t think we’ll be able to fulfill Nick and Adri’s requests for more about this guy…

Great piece. Looks and reads just like the real Jim D. Wonderful, fabulous art, in a style reminiscent of Sendak. A keeper

Want to know something weird? It’d been like a year since we’d gotten any mail for “Lincoln”. Since this story’s been posted, we’ve gotten three pieces of mail for him.

Spooky.

I’m a little late getting to this one and am so sorry.
One of my favorites. Last panel is the bomb. Yo.
