His parents are dead.
The Olympics are almost upon us once again.
Surely this is one of the comic universe Olympic events.
Surely.
My thanks to our bro, Joe Hunter, for his assists on the colors for this strip.
I have no idea where Curt is, but hopefully he’ll be back soon.
While you’re waiting, please, please check out this art I’m selling to pay for a new computer before my current one explodes: Link One! Link Two!
My thanks to you all.

The cross-hatching in panel 1 is effing sweet. Also, dead parent jokes make me lol.

My parents just died last weekend and I chuckled at that. Gallows humor does help.

Or maybe his parents are Johnny Storm and Frankie Raye and they’re just effing with the kid’s mind.
