Oh, I guess a few days ago I was getting ahead of myself by saying that I was writing Amber and Mike out of the strip so I didn’t have to write them both here and in Dumbing of Age.
Well, I wrote Amber and Mike out of the strip so that I didn’t have to write them both here and in Dumbing of Age.

I forgot about this part
is that why, tho =o I thought it was just an interesting plot shift
I find it kind of hilarious that you wrote Amber and Mike out of Shortpacked! so you could focus on writing them in Dumbing of Age, only to just end up killing Mike off in that comic.
to be fair it was a long while before mike died
Yeah, ’twas just about eight years down to the month between this Shortpacked! chapter and the Dumbing of Age chapter where we learned Mike died.
By which point Willis wasn’t writing anyone in Shortpacked!, except on April Fool’s Day.
Mostly it was about Amber. Mike just kind of had to go with her.
And then you brought Mike briefly back for that Axis of Something plotline because why not? That was fun!
Eh, Shortpacked’s site still functions. It’s barely spoilers when its main site isn’t a decrepit mess.
I’d love to see happy drunk Mike on DoA….
oh wait. 😛
Maybe we could see drunk Mike in a DoA flashback strip?
I don’t post here often but I’ll make an exemption. Please, don’t give me happy flashbacks to Mike, that would give too many “could have’s”. On the other hand, seeing Mike being happy and good would make me happy albeit a little bittersweet. These reruns are hitting that spot quite well.. . Nvm you do you, Mr. Willis. I am in no position to tell you how to tell a story.
The big revelation here is that Nice Mike knows that his niceness is booze-based and that he’d be a jerk otherwise. Kind of lends credence to the theory that Nice Mike is the “real” Mike and that booze gives him an excuse to drop his meansona.
