I actually just read the entire thing for the first time last month (1999 through to the modern day), and I had to go look up her social media accounts to make sure she was okay when I got to the last strip in April 2024.

I’m really excited that it’s back, but a bit bummed that I need to follow it in real-time now. 😁

Yes, and the comics around it are absolutely amazing!

Here’s a link. The arc started at the end of June 2020, and ran through the middle of July. The strips after that revolve around coming out to her wife, and what happened there.

The building was sold to the university with ICE as a tenant in 2023. They were originally expected to move out “within a few months” of that sale, and their lease ended in April 2025. However, they had a contractual option to extend the lease through 2028, and they’ve chosen to extend it at least through April 2026 while their new building elsewhere is being built.

So yes, they’re tenants, but the university didn’t choose to rent to them. In fact, the university would like them to be gone for more than the current political reality; the university would very much like to renovate it and use it as academic space.

I played a Protector Aasimar Barbarian named Krill who was a fairly average scholar who had decided studying wasn’t for him. He heard somebody talking about “Power Word Krill,” and decided that he wanted to learn how to do it. He would basically go along with the party on everything (sometimes a little too quickly, he was hard to kill and often forgot others were squishier), but was absolutely obsessed with finding Power Word Krill.

He was asked multiple times if he was instead looking for “Power Word Kill,” but he really wanted to summon a lot of small crustaceans on demand. Or maybe it would just summon a big one, he didn’t know and was fine with either situation.
