Humphrey is looking fitter now, his wimpy eye isn’t as bad as it was. thank he will still need surgery. and I love that line “the creative possibilities of loom bands” Childhood is full of that sort of thing.
The complexity of the characters’ feelings that Allison manages here in just a few panels — resentment, embarrassment, guilt, sympathy, and love — is really quite remarkable. Well done!
Okay, probably showing my age here but I had to look up loom bands. How many new things is John Allison going to make me learn just to keep up with a dang web comic?!? (Skin Horse is the only other comic that even comes close to his deviousness.)

I originally read that last panel as “100 m bands”, and thought that just a single million would be plenty to cause havoc with.

Humphrey’s art work goes well with Lottie’s poem. Apparently everyone in this group feels that space is the place!

Loom bands are a powerful creative force. In a more innocent time kids would make the looms from cigar boxes.
