@ Powers – I think “retro” is an acknowledgement that all of these panels have been posted at CIDU at one time or another. The detail that IDU is why “Rock Gods” (from March) should be less “retro” than the “Literary Terms“, which appeared here in May. :-)
P.S. @ Anonymous Editor – All in fun, of course. Even though I don’t follow it, Wrong Hands is a pretty good webcomic, and using CIDU as a selection filter is an excellent way to concentrate on the best examples.
