This is Russ

This adaptation has teeth.

I keep waiting for some network to capitalize on the excitement for the Friends reunion. You know, just pick a side character (your Gunthers, your Janices, your Ugly Naked Guys) and run with it.

My entry in this nostalgia-fest is pictured in today’s new comic. Enter “This is Russ” – a heartfelt family drama in the style of everyone’s favorite time-jumping cryfest.

This one is also a deep cut dedicated to my fellow superfans. Haaaaaave you met Russ & Julie? Could they be any more ready for a debut at 8/9 Central?

Hit me baby, all the time

It’s a wall world, after all

So, I keep hearing about this pandemic wall. Are there people who haven’t hit a wall yet? Who are they? How does their programming work?  Are they androids?

I feel like I hit this metaphorical wall months* ago and have been stuck on it – or in it** – ever since.

Anyway, I hope you have a friend who can repeatedly pry you off the wall if you’re stuck too.

*Days? Weeks? Years? Time is a flat circle now, just like Matthew McConaughey predicted. Who had the “alright, alright, alright” guy from Dazed & Confused as unlikely pandemic prophet on their bingo card?

**Kind of like one of those unfortunate computer game protagonists who get stuck inside the wall due to a programming glitch, never to escape.
