2-20: Small world.

I don't think it would require much research to find that this strip has more panels, not to mention dialogue, than any previous edition (the best competition was 2-9: Night Calls, which was mostly dialogue.) It was kind of a challenge to myself. Apart from some early Sewerman comics, I haven't pushed myself in this way, and I thought it would be a good idea to actually try to do something newish. So I found this unusual way of cutting between Reg, Nolan, and the Liquor Store setting, because so many scenes seem to be just two people talking. Hope you like it, I think it works.

This comic contains a reference to John Cusack. I've had conversations recently, with a few people, where we decided it's simply impossible for a man to watch Cusack in a film and not enjoy it.

"Hugo Beer" and "Fin: Beer of Finland" are made up brands. I wonder what they do drink in Finland. Chateau Picard is a rare Star Trek reference for me.

By the time this comic goes up, I'll be a few days into my next semester of University. Hopefully I've gotten far enough ahead that the dropoff in productivity isn't… immediate.
