Detailed Strip Info

Notes

I believe this is the first strip in which Phillip is wearing Mjolnir, a.k.a. Thor's Hammer. It's the pendant he's seen wearning around his neck in many early strips. The "real" Phillip also wears one of these, but I decided that his comic-strip counterpart would stop wearing his pretty early on as I grew tired of drawing it. The "real" Phillip, mindful of this dichotomy, took to wearing his inside his shirt so that the strip would remain the accurate representation of our lives it has always been.
