Look Who's Back

I don't know if it was an Easter miracle or what, but I suddenly came into some more Bobby Thatcher strips! If you can remember back to our last episode, a stranger had just run into the frame bringing with him no end of unanswered questions: who is this guy? what does he want? where did he come from? and so on...

I hope this doesn't throw anyone off, but all future BT installments will be identified by the strip number as opposed to the date. It's easier for me to keep track of 'em this way, my apologies for any inconvenience.

First of all, I'd like to wish you all a belated Happy New Year. I've been taking it easy, but I realize Bobby Thatcher has been out of action for a while...the good news is that we took a break at a pretty decent point in the narrative. Shouldn't be too hard to get back into the swing of things.

In case you don't haunt Barnacle Press, you should know I've recently posted a load of Flying to Fame strips from 1928. All you adventure fans should dig it.

Now on with the show. Bobby, are you ready?
