The fun fact with Abbey is that “Abbey” was originally meant to be his “unofficial filler name” when I was creating him. Abbey is an Abyssinian cat.. so I gave him the codename “Abby”.. and after a while of using it to describe him, I realized how much it stuck.. so I gave him the name “Abbey” after “Abraham”.. Abby just makes me think too much of Abigail although it’s already a girly name already.. I don’t know how an “e” makes a difference, BUT IT DOES TO ME DAMMIT.

Also slight mention of Abbey’s father.. you can tell that Abbey doesn’t really think too highly of him.

This thought just hit me, but do any of the characters have a last name? Random question, but I think it’s valid.

… Whenever Abbey talks I hear a posh English accent. For some reason the rest of them are American.

Uh, yeah, Abraham Lincoln is sorta famous.
I mean, he was one of the first major leaders to abolish slavery.
And just cuz’ Taeshi is an Auzzie doesn’t mean she knows nothing of history.
I know plenty of foreign leaders, and I’m American! We usually know NOTHING of the rest of the world!

David has, over the past few chapeters, become the king of one liners. Starting with the crews first day of highschool.

Ha, the last panel is funny because Abraham Lincoln got shot point-blank right in the back of the head.

Great to see some dark humor. ;)

wow, another page with paulo being the essence of all that is crap in this world, once again.

do we get a break from him, eventually? rather, do we get to see someone BREAK him, eventually?

Comment ID #174911

Oh, Thanatos, you trolling troll, Paulo was only in two panels on this entire page!

Ha, if I met a guy called Abraham, I’d totally wanna call him Lincoln! David wins at funny! (btw, I’m Aussie, everyone knows Lincoln. Dude was/is famous).
