If they had a like button, I’d have liked your comment. That was exactly the time I got into the comic also. A lot can change in ten years. Long before my trip(s) to Afghanistan, before even my child. A very nice retrospective indeed.
@LeviticusYesterday you said all of us fall at TJ’s feet to worship the “Jackal”. It is because those of us temper our suspension of disbelief by still believing that people that are good, would have a friend that has some good in them. Whether you like it or not, TJ is cast as one of the good guys. He is Brads friend, and despite all your vitriol, shows that he will do what he feels is right to defend the people he cares about. Those of us who haven’t given up hope in TJ, was paid off in this strip. Your definition of troll is a bit skewed. I moderate a board with over 100k members, and you’re actions fit the bill of one who is attempting to skirt around being one, but everyone else still sees it.
The belligerant, uncaring, older brother theme is getting stale. Evans always casts their relationship in this light, not realizing that the characters are actually getting to an age where this mentality starts to peter out. Brad is old enough he should be past this and Luann should be getting there as well.
