Meet the Geeks

On Friday May 29th our lives changed forever. I woke up at my mothers urging, laying on the spare bed at my mothers apartment, groggy from the wine the previous evening.  Friday evenings have become a tradition since our youngest's birth. Spending the evening at my parents, drinking wine and visiting with Hunter. It's become more important to me since my fathers passing early last year.

Instead of a single panel strip today I'm bringing you what is hopefully the last "lost" strip from the original run of Meet the Geeks.  mtgcomic.thecomicseries.com This weekend I'm planning on revamping the comic page, moving the The Creative Process strips over to their own page and putting the comics in their published order.
