Mr. Fir actually found out about Kelly way way back at the beginning of the strip! It was his first appearance, actually. I’d kind of banked on everyone forgetting about this.
Oh, and the winter-themed romance that Chilliam Faulkner mentioned today? That also happened, way back in the murky era of comic strip antiquity.
You don’t really need to know these things to make sense of current goings-on (I still consider everything before the World 1 arc to be 100% optional), but I love making little connections like that. My hope is that when you go back and read through the archives, it feels a little more like a continuous, interconnected story and less like some scattershot Beetle Bailey anthology.
Speaking of stories (MASTERFUL SEGUE), we are getting very very close to the end of this one and the conclusion to the World 2 arc! About another week ought to do it. Still a lot of ground left to cover, though… stay tuned!
