Early on in the pandemic, right around the time everything had shut down, I had this idea of Mary being one of the last people to find out. She goes to the diner like normal, only to find the doors locked and a public health notice on the glass. Catching up with Daisy, it'd be an excuse to show how my characters were handling the whole mess.
Work and burn-out had kept me from drawing the comic, so now it seems oddly appropriate that I'm revisiting the idea when I already have another comic in the works, and only(?) two weeks until my contract resumes. Last year I'd thought to myself that the pandemic might be over before I'm able to get to this comic, and that might still be the case!
