Alas, our convention car–Ghostbuster decals and all–is no more. The damage inflicted was enough to bend part of the frame, and when that happens an old car like it was just doesn’t have the raw blue book value for the insurance company to not write it off as a total loss. Sentiment and coolness aren’t factored in.
Dawn got the car in 2008, so it’s been with us since the beginning as far as our comics and exhibiting career goes. It was a rarity, a station wagon with ample cargo space in an era where that had mostly gone out of style. A car that was still running after nearly 22 years of operation and 200,000 miles on the odometer, most recently ferrying us back and forth to another fully loaded San Diego Comic Con.
So if you don’t mind, raise a glass of whatever beverage is your preference in honor of a long and distinguished career of automotive service. Hopefully we can find a worthy successor to its memory. Now you're getting the idea, Chuck!

Some friction, but yeah. IRL, I’d like these two…they should have kids.
Dawn
I might have to draw out what their kid would look like. First thought is that their kid would look like Ongo Gablogian from “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia”

He’s pushing 60, she’s maybe 30, more likely less. Chuck is most likely shooting blanks, and besides, he’s talking to her like a baby sister than a love interest.

It is really hard to have a favorite character, as there are so many good ones. But I think Rosa is my favorite. Chuck is a good accomplice in sneaking work, but not much for romance. Uugh.

I mean, if they don’t have at least an inkling of what’s going down, I’m actually disappointed in Clearstream. If anything, I’m starting to wonder if they caught on and realized “Wait, we can use this.”
Because of course they can.

I’m way ahead of you – I’ve been waiting for you to catch up. From November 2020:
I would hope for nothing less – her and Chuck have the potential for a great deal of positive mischief.
Speaking of which, I received the email notifying me that my order for the NSFW “Chuck and Rosa Finally Do It” (age verification required) limited edition hardcover is going to be delayed due to the pandemic. I think it’s really cool that you’ll be adding some additional stretch goal goodies when it ships – thanks for all your story and art.
As for the inscription, ” We owe it all to you ” will be sufficient.
