Rise of The Archer

UPDATE - This comic was originally Tuesday, October 19ths comic, but I've fiddled around with a few things to correct an order problem, moving it to the 23rd. So no, you're not crazy if you're seeing this - go back and read the last few comics.

For those of you not completely up on the mythology of AoD/Apple Valley… Fletcher has a secret identity as a mysterious arrow-slinging vigilante known only to authorities as "The Archer". It's not really a costume, it's more of a super-powered split personality. As The Archer, he seeks out (and destroys) overly-cliche webcomic elements. Or at least he tries to - it doesn't always work out.

A running gag throughout is that Steve, who knows both Fletcher and The Archer, does not realize they are one in the same.
