Yep. She’s definitely Olwen’s Grandma. I recall it from first meeting her. I think Olwen even mentioned her way earlier in the strip and the kids said something implying they assumed she was no longer living like “she was really skilled” and Olwen said “What do you mean ‘was’”, though I probably am butchering those statements.
Okay. My theory is that the true price of the time travel spell that Yaga and Olwen were unaware of is that it caused her (from the perspective of observers from another universe) to become lost in time for 4 years. They really should research their spells better :)
I was coming to say that too. Apparently she finally has access to her FB Swan Eaters account again, so maybe she’s getting ready to upload again. (An earlier comment says she wants to have all the strips finished before uploading again, maybe a sign she’s getting there.)
If I recall correctly, the strip went on hiatus for 10 years after Ginger passed. Then GoComics began to rerun the old strips with some new ones mixed in until they started all being new until a few years ago, they went back to (mostly) reruns of the original series. During the last few years of new strips, his girlfriend/wife got a hairless cat from a Woman in Ukraine and named the cat Homeslice.
Oops. I want to leave a link, but GoComics doesn’t like it — the comic’s from 2020/11/30
