So I have to confess: I know how this story ends. I mean the whole story, not just this seemingly never-ending chapter. But I’m having a little bit of a writer’s block with the next few steps toward that ending. See, I wrote the ending a year ago, and then about a month or so back, I started working backward from there, loosely plotting out how we get to the finish line. That’s good. What’s not is that I haven’t quite sussed out the details of getting from here to there.

The good news is that I’m posting this strip that you just read on May 24, so I’m actually way ahead of the game, which hopefully should give me some breathing room to overcome this block. Because otherwise, we’re gonna have to do it “choose your own adventure” style.
