Oh, for… Buckle up, folks, looks like the reprints will continue with the dishwashing-contest storyline from 2007. That one went on for a few months, before seguing into what looked like a Slim-and-Clovia story but turned into a Rufus-and-Joel one.The dishwashing-contest story was the one that prompted me to write a month-long fanfic on the the old TMS GA message board. It featured Gretchen and Nubbin, both of of whom had been absent from the strip for so long that nobody knew if then-29-year-old Gretchen was single, dating or married, or what she did for a living.(I also did one about then-14-year-old Gus, aka “Little Skeezix,” trying to earn extra money by mowing lawns.)Still amazed nobody from TMS ever came on the board to tell me to stop—especially after I gave Skeezix a previously-unknown 62-year-old French half-brother and introduced a guy who was meant to be a love interest for Gretchen.
