This storyline will simmer along for a while, and I’ll probably talk about it more as it goes; but this one was pretty directly inspired by real events all the way through.
This also begins my favorite dumb runner from the strip, Aaron trying to be gender-inclusive.
FUN FACT: I keep trying to get rid of my copy of the (really, really bad) Crowley book Aaron’s reading there, but it always finds its way back to me in improbable ways.
