I did make the drive up to Oregon once last year and it was nearly as brutal as the comic depicts. I knew I couldn’t survive driving back, so we flew and loved every minute of it. For the record, Ray lives 930 miles from me, so flying is the only sane option. Anyway, hope enough of you have played Oregon Trail at one point in your childhood/education. I always loved the hunting minigame the most, but also got lots of enjoyment out of seeing loved ones drown or die of diseases I couldn’t pronounce. How did that pass as acceptable in elementary school, I wonder?

After getting halfway into this one, I was worried it was the wrong comic to follow up Richard’s with, but I think this one turned out well. Apparently making really crappy-looking images is more difficult for me than my usual style. Wasn’t expecting that…
