Well… Here we are. I’m hesitantly going to try and jump back in to the regular storyline since we came to a nice cutoff point. For those of you who have forgotten what was going on when my life got flipped, turned upside down, here is the URL for the previous comic in sequence:
I may have to jump back into filler depending on what life throws at me & I can’t guarantee that every comic will post as midnight on posting day. I’m just gonna try my best and hope I can keep up. If nothing else I have emergency storylines in the pipe in case of emergency.

For real though, Jo, Reggie is safe to be around and nobody expects the unexpected.
Take the personal security if it’s there.
Well Jackie, you weren’t kidding when you said you were gonna do your best, huh? The facial expressions and gestures in this one are on point! Jo’s face in panel 1 in particular really reminds me of the kind of looks her uncle gives her in the few comics he’s appeared, while Reggie’s face is just… Pure Reggie energy.
I really like the flow of dialogue here too. In any case, it’s nice to come back to these guys, but don’t overwork yourself. There’s plenty of joy to be had on your so-called filler. Here’s to everything going as well as it possibly can for you, and always better than before. But if it doesn’t, we’ll understand and be here to support you as best as we can.
Awwwww Reggie does care about Jo. Thats so sweet.
He cares, but he also knows literally everyone in their circle of friends (Jo’s circle of friends at least) would jump at the opportunity to blame him for anything happening.
Classic Reggie: somehow finding a way to do the right thing while simultaneously annoying the person he’s helping *and* himself.
This is such a great comic. Keep up the good work! ^_^
You must be doing something right, because BF is in the top 100 on TWC.
Just take the day as it comes and do your best to persevere in the face of adversity. Life is tough for many of us, even more-so for others. But I am enjoying your work and I hope that by working on this you can continue to move through the difficulties.
Had to double check I hadn’t missed an update, but easy enough to pick up again where things left off. Maybe a ‘Meanwhile, on the other side of town’ box or something?
Someone hasn’t been paying attention…
The filler story was good enough that I forgot it wasn’t just part of the tale.
At least as far as I’m concerned, it was just a continuity jump, but totally part of the tale nonetheless.
Ja, just a little, ‘previously’ from my pov
Jo getting kidnapped, while wearing her bear ears???
That would be un-BEAR-able!
Ha-yuk-yuk-yuk.
Oof… what a grizzly pun. (Heh, I should talk…)
Hee, hee, hee!
Not my writing but:
A little bear is a radio DJ, and he says: “Wee paws for the following announcements!”
Jo and Reggie have suddenly become Elcor.
He chose the wrong sentence, He really meant to say:
“Reggie is simply ANNOYING.”
;D
…But, to be fair- I think Reggie is honestly [trying] to be supportive to Jo, right now.
He’s kind of saying- you + I aren’t buddy-buddies, but I really like your friends, so for me to (try and be good + kind to you, + them), I’d like to help you out.
Maybe this isn’t the kindest or friendly-est way of saying- “I’d like to be good + helpful to you”, but I think Reggie is trying [very hard] to be good + helpful to Jo, right now. Hm.
Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving despite everything. Take a break if that’s what you need. We’ll be back.
Lol, Jo looks just like her cop quasi-dad in panel 1. I like it.
