I’m so excited to find this comic again! I read it and loved it years ago and was so sad when it just …. stopped. I’d sorta forgotten about it, but just saw a link on some other webcomic — but no, I can’t remember which one, maybe “Family Man” — and now I’ve cheerfully spent another hour of my life reading an entire new webcomic from first to now. I’m off to buy the dead tree edition! Thank you for bringing Mirka back!
