In that eerie way that sometimes blackouts or storms or other events have been mentioned in the comic and then rolled out in real life at the same time—I handed the roughs for this strip in only about a week BEFORE loan forgiveness was announced!! (…Did I only ever have to mention student loans in the comic FOR THE CURSE TO BE LIFTED?? I joke, I joke… but also, my face when that news hit in the middle of a story that randomly involved student loans, of all things?! I’ve joked before, but the temptation to write a story where the People win the lottery is stronger than ever, lol!)
So, you will see a moment of “whoa, what timing?!” in next week’s strips, because I could not help but point out how WILD that was! What I thought would be a joke about how weird People finances can be becomes pretty dang important after all?!
I just wanted to let everyone in on that, it was so surreal to mention a People detail and have it immediately amended. I shared the rough of Elvis on social media that day out of context to some confusion, but I was spinning like a top and needed to show SOMEONE!
