This is really sweet, insightful, and a little funny. Perfect

“. . . switching bodies for a day”?? Why does it seem more like forever?

Probably a couple days. But “for a day” is idiomatic.

Need to translate to comics years

Longest day ever…

Oh, so like the TV show 24?

Again, how are they still hanging out together?

Miles: “I thought it was because of your mother’s cooking!”

A day? Feels like nearly two months.

I like the way Tauhid is wrapping it up, rather than just abruptly switching to another arc or a joke strip.

For a day may be like the current generations “for a minute” to mean an indeterminate (sometimes years) period of time.

So now the story ends?

I keep saying to people that “later the same day” is different in comics, or in a soap opera, or in a book…but these people are still so impatient.

Speaking of soaps, I used to watch “All My Children” when my kids were really little, way back in the later ’70’s and early ’80’s, then I went “back to work” in 1987…and in that soap one day could stretch to half a year or longer, and the only way you could tell that it was still the same day is that the actors wore the same clothes during all that time…

Haha! That’s awesome; so mom’s cooking and Kyles feet cancel each other out. Who da thunk?

The debriefing has begun!

BUT Is Kyle, Kyle or is he Quincy / Kyle ?

I really love the ones where Gene steps up as Kevin’s stand-in dad – taking him to wrestling and camping and so on.That boy’s entire life is going to be better for it.
