Dusty says Do you have any idea how many of us have just up and vanished, Vargas?! PANEL 3: Back in the present, Dusty points to Nathan as he reels back.

Author Notes

Thanks for reading, everybody! Sorry this one came a bit later today, there was a power outage here haha. I do also want to give a small update: This website might be offline for a few days in August! The code for uploading pages on this site is getting so bloated that it actually slows down my computer. Not to mention the fact that I'd like to be able to schedule updates. So I'll be looking into switching my hosting services to allow for that. Keep an eye on my socials (@Toonbly on Bluesky and Tumblr!) for any updates on that!
