2007-07-11: Demoted (Trials)
The dizzy
I blame the lack of interesting backgrounds in today's comic on my inexplicable dizziness. Fun fact: today's comic is based on a true story!
This comic is in the following storylines:
- Variations
A long-running series, maybe the crux of the site. Reader submits a suggestion, and I draw three comics based on that suggestion. Originally all three had to start the same, but it evolved. - Summer of Keith
Good old Keith! I used his suggestions, and only his suggestions, for comics all summer long. It was a pretty nice summer.
This comic includes the contribution:
- Keith Prestwich suggested: An army officer is demoted for ambiguous reasons
