With this being the first death in the comic since John's death and resurrection... I wanted to address why they weren't able to just use Glenda's Deus ex machina of bringing the hamster back to life. This is also the third appearance of Glen the Reaper. He's been in nude in the shower and playing Xbox with the guys at Christmas. He's also apparently a lying bastard. I've got two more strips in this arc, Wednesday and Friday. Then we'll get to something else, I'm thinking Zombie-man if I can swing it.
