Wow, Paul. Iām impressed. I read this strip as a kid and am just now coming back to it. I am amazed at how extensive the family tree is for this strip and your ability to keep track of it all.
Well, the āTomā of āGretchen and Tomā is my own creation from the fanfic I wrote on the old TMS board, as is Gusā lawn care business. Jim keeps drawing Gus and Kathleen as if they were nine or ten years old, even though they were born in December 1992. I decided to write something that showed Gus doing something a 14-year-old (in the summer of ā07) kid might be doing, and mowing lawns to make extra money seemed like a good idea.
Gus and Kathleen are twins, so a crush seems like a likely storyline for a 15-year-old girl. Hell, Greg Evans dragged out Luannās crush on Aaron Hill for what, fifteen years?
We last saw Eve being dragged off by the cops after she invited her biker friends to crash at Waltās back in 2004 (before Gertie came along), so I figure she might be up for parole by now.
āSkeezix and Nina have invited Walt and Gertie over for dinnerā was the starting point for the storyline weāll probably never see in the strip, no matter how old everyone gets.

MEANWHILE: Eugeno seems to be lost in Dogpatch.
Kudos to Paul for keeping up with all this. Iāve missed a few years of the strip.
