Yesterday I commented about Mr Reality getting hit/run over about a thousand times in MUT so far. And asked if any original readers remembered or knew WHY he started getting hit. I doubted anyone would remember, being from the start way back. Here’s the answer.
Mr Reality first got hit in only the 19th MUT created, on March 3, 2014. It sounds dumber now, what with how the comments about Jami have changed since his return, but it had to do with Mr Reality insulting him in the comments. Unfortunately I could not find the comment he made that led to me “getting revenge” for Jami in my strip. I scanned through two weeks of comments prior to that day but did not see anything.
Back then, nobody hated Jami since he was never shown in the real strip. Most comments referenced him and Keri working in a sweatshop overseas.
Since then almost any time a car or bus or almost any moving vehicle has been depicted, he gets hit. Here is the initial occurrence.
Beth will remember her “little gremlin” comment 50 years from now, as the reaper’s cold clutch tightens around her and the ageless, Bryllcreem’d Gil remains unchanged.
“Don’t get him wet.” She should have come back with, “Seems fair since he never gets me…” And speaking of wet, you’re all wet if you don’t read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

If Andrews McMeel is going to do this they should create a new comic called “Random Sentences.”
