But come to think of it, why would Connie be surprised at any of the elements of Jeremy’s forefront concerns as depicted? These are the interests he manifests in waking life as well.

Please consider sharing seasonal / holiday themed comics you see that would appeal to the CIDU site community, whether good LOLs and Oys or genuine CIDU head-scratchers!
If you mail to the standard submissions address, in the next few days (preferably with “[for xmas post]” in the subject line), we would like to include it in the cumulative Christmas Day post. (New tradition!)

Thanks!
