Just read #30 & #31. What marvelous characters and the writing is wonderful. Story is entertaining and engrossing, I truly enjoyed myself. I like that you are exploring the fantastical but the characters have an ordinary, approachable quality (such as grappling with a hangover) that root the fantasy in reality. It adds to the humor and my affection for them. I will have to come back when I have more time and read through some of the earlier episodes.
