First Issues NOW! ·

2025/08/13

Why yes, the biggest hurdle in recording anything is being able to pronounce Cheetah and Cheshire. Yes, I cut about 10 minutes of struggling. Either way, that's still a great comic. And I think we're officially on Sam being either the Comic Casualist or the Casual Comicist.
