Man, this week was a lot. I’ll go through stuff in the order that works best for me.

For those of you who don’t have superhuman memories, or exceptional powers of deduction, the character in the first two panels is Thomas’s mother. The third panel is not in chronological order compared to the other memories. I feel like most people will get that, since memories don’t always present themselves that way, but I’m making a note to answer the question I am 100% certain will be asked. Also, I went into the archive and couldn’t find any point where Patricia’s father is mentioned by his actual name, so I just made one up. If anyone can cite a page where this was already established I’ll update this one to match. All of the files with those little notes and lore have been lost, so I can’t just search it up at the moment. That’s all I can think of for the comic related stuff.

At the start of the week Dolly Parton died. She was an American icon, and probably an icon around the world, but I can’t verify that. Most people reading this will know this already, but on the off chance that the website continues to exist into the far future those who come along after will have some idea of where to start searching for more information I don’t present here. As a child of the 80s she was a massive influence on our pop culture in so many ways it would be difficult to explain it in a meaningful way. I hesitate to tell this story, but I think it’s worth revealing as a personal anecdote. My Uncle Bob always had all the new gadgets and one time, when I was young, we visited his family. He had The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas playing on laserdisc. Which is a very old sentence. At one point he turned to me, while I was watching Dolly strut around in lingerie, and asked “Do you like big boobs?” In the grinning, affable, tone he always spoke in. I answered no, because I didn’t know what the right answer was at the time. Socially or personally. I think everyone reading this knows what the actual answer I didn’t have in that moment was. In any case getting asked was embarrassing to me, so I remember it vividly. It’s one of my clearest memories of him in fact.
