1897 Step This Way.
Rulette is a lot of fun to write. She’s not a prisoner of her tragic backstory. That’s a pretty rare ability & one I can only share with her in the capacity of her creator.

she seems like a fun character
Hurrah for letting slip the chains that try to force us to their narrative. The past can only bind us if we allow it to. Let us write our own happy ending, free from tragedy. Tragedy is only “fun” on the theatre’s stage.
“Life is but a walking shadow, a poor player. That struts and Frets his hour on the stage. And then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot full of Sound and Fury signifying nothing.” Macbeth
“Life’s a movie. Write your own ending”.- Kermit the frog, in The Muppet Movie.
“Moving right along, footloose and fancy free. Gettin there is half the fun, come and share it with me.” – Kermit the Frog and Fozzie the Bear
Hee hee hee! :)
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the sheer dedication it takes to live and die behind the register? How much he had to have loved running his comic shop to spend his final moments in it.
He might have just had a heart attack with no warning.
Then again, Rulette did say that the comic shop had been bailed out by the dry cleaning, more than once..
IT’S A TROLL !!!
Responding to the tweet about Suikoden :
Never played the original games, but finished at least twice Suikoden : Tierkreis on DS and can say it’s my favorite game. Try it if you can.
i rememebr suikoden on the ol Play station man what a trip was by far one of my fav strat rpgs.
I often say I’m four-for-four on dead grandparents to cancer. It’s a 100% success rate.
If you got a chance to talk to them before you turned ten years old, at least you have the memories. 3 outta 4 of mine were dead before I was born.
Same here. Both of my grandmothers died when my parents were five. Mom’s father died six years before I was born. My Dad’s father remarried later in life, a girl my oldest aunt went to school with. A super lady, she lived into her nineties and was always ‘Grandma’ to me.
I guess she suffered quite a ………..loss.

“Step this way.”
Oh my! Is it registered?
With the ministry that is.
Have you applied for a Government grant to help develop it further?
Ah, you went Monty Python, I was expecting Bugs Bunny.
Rulette is twisted. I appreciate her sense of humor!
I can’t believe it took me THIS long to try saying her name, out-loud!
Now I’m forced to ask:
If her lateness (for an appointment) forces her to hurry, can we call her “Rushin’ Rulette”?
( … the only thing that would shock me more
is if I’m the FIRST to ask you about this pun … )
You are not.
Rulette’s boyfriend says: “What are my favorite foods?…Rulettes and poulettes!” ;D
Well she is a D&D Game Master or DM to those old school types, so there is that other pun buried in there.
Now this has me wondering what other games a Rules Master would be getting into.
I figure at the very least some Star Fleet Battles or the the game of super hero character design though not necessarily play, [cant remember which one that was hero or champions ]
“Running your own business must be pretty stressful…is that why your dad quit?”
“No, he just died.”
End of today’s strip.
In what respect?
None. Was just in an absurd mood.
If anyone says anything like that to scare me, I’ll be all, “Yeah? I heard of a guy who died standing up leaning against a mantlepiece, just to show it could be done.” ;) It was Branwell Bronte, the brother of the Bronte sisters.
