Yes, "mnguh" is the default "I'm trying to be asleep but you're just not letting me" sound - Terrence I had the general idea for this arc, it was going to start at Brisbane and Kimberly's place, but I just wasn't feeling it. In the end I just drew the comic, told Terrence what was happening in each panel, and asked him to write it. -Isabel

The fact that she was knocking on his bedroom door should have been his first tip off... after all, robbers are usually not that polite. -Isabel

Why was Nuggets open so late? Midnight game release? Cafe customers who just refused to leave? Place needed extra cleaning for an

Or maybe they just keep late hours because who knows when you might need a wrench or an air mattress or a complete DVD set of Baywatch - Terrence

Back in the old days, before my Internet and before ND (and UM, if you want to get technical), there was a comic I did, the prerequisite of Grover Hills. I mention this only because in that comic, the local restaurant's color scheme was also pink and aqua, like this place has. Of course, GH's aqua was prettier... this one looks like it had pretty bubble gum bright colors back when it was painted some 25 years ago (and hasn't been painted since). -Isabel

We had a lot of late-night dates back in the day. I'd usually end up working evening or night shift, sinceI sabel could set her own hours.

But it was nice, having the night to ourselves, finding places in a mostly empty world. - Terrence
