In which the “noose” tightens.

This is episode #200 of “Ryan’s Dad.”  I probably should have done a special strip for today, but I’d planned to wrap up the Miss Worl storyline before the end of May and didn’t want to interrupt that (and this storyline does come to a definitive conclusion).

I don’t have a big webcomic following, but I have a few readers and I want to thank you for sticking with me for the first 200 strips.  When I started, I had no assurance that I’d reach 100.  When I reached 100, 200 looked like it’d be impossible.

And now I have no clue over whether I can reach 300.  But at least this time, it seems like a possibility.  You know what?  It really is just a matter of putting one foot in front of the other (figuratively speaking, of course. I don’t draw with my feet.)

Thanks for joining me for 200!

In which our hero decides it’s better to arrest people for smoking.

New readers may not know who “Bomb” is, so this seems a good time to reintroduce her.  Basically, she’s an eight year old girl who has a bad habit with dropping f-bombs. (I know… it makes me sigh heavily too, but that’s the way the kids talk nowadays, right?)

In any event, today’s strip sets off a story that will go, on and off, until June.  Or, as Ryan knows it, the end of the school year.

You are reading the last “snowman” strip of the season.

Is that sarcastic applause I hear?

May a diseased yeti yak upon your snow shoes.
