So very special

[kingandy]

Well now there was something I was going to ... Oh yes! Special School is up. I don't know where this strip came from.

This is the first week that the new strips are only available on SpiderForest. (Maybe I'll put them up on KeenSpace in a kind of staggered format, or something, but the terms of service at SpiderForest say I should only be publishing there. I should really put some kind of message up on the KS site ... and get in touch with the Guardians dropdown about the move, but I'm thinking about registering a domain so maybe I'll leave it until then.)

Come back on Friday for some potential furtherance of the plot, clumsy super power exposition, and the long-foreshadowed return of an old friend. OOH.

The dog! Bring back the dog!

The olde dude with the shovel. He's the hero, I reckon...

No one stays dead in superhero comics, so the dog has to return at some point. Maybe the hobo could develop shovel powers.

You are both wrong. Much older than that.

I liked that.

And that's what makes the whole thing worthwhile.

If I may refer to you as "that".

The humour in Special School can be a bit hit and miss, but I personally prefer it where it is a) clever, b) super-hero oriented and c) dry. This punchline hits allt he right notes for me.

"Clever"? If you say so. I could just see a lot of conversations with the Chrisses going this way. In fact devoting an entire strip to the notion seemed kind of redundant, so I almost didn't do it.

Aaaargh! Frowny face! What have I done!

I thought it was clever humour because it played with super powers in a recognisable context.
