Gustav Chompe is
actually deceased. I started to suspect something when his
updates suddenly stopped at the end of March, after abruptly
abandoning the "Norman's Past" storyline.
What happened
was this: He was shot dead by his own father. Honestly, I
always thought it would be the other way around. But, no.
Papa shot Gustav, apparently after a game of pinochle with
the elder Chompe's new lady love turned sour. Gustav called
her a harlot and a thief. He stormed out of the house with a
bag of sour cream n' onion chips. Witnessed say that the
bullet that ripped through Gustav's body blew right through
the bag, scattering bloody chips all over the front yard.
So this is
what he leaves behind.
By all means,
purchase a Fanci-Full Friends tee. They're black, so you
know: good mourning garb. And you can wear it with the peace
of mind that all proceeds have gone to the Gustav Chompe
Webcomic Scholarship for the Mediocre.
I guess I'll
thank you on behalf of Gustav for three solid years of
workmanlike hackery. He wasn't the most grateful dude. He
was also a whiner and a procrastinator. But let's not allow
this to devolve into a line-by-line accounting of his
faults: he was a human, like all of us, and he died. But
crimony, what a stooge.
