The Return of Stickman #1531

Every night I have vivid dreams. I would love to post all of them in the strip. But, that might bore people completely to death. So I try to limit showing a dream strip to maybe once a year or so. I thought about making the gag line of the strip a detail from the dream: "The cold keeps them from growing."

You might have noticed that I'm sometimes forgetful about updating this blog. If you want to see the strips you've missed, links to them can be found on my main website at http://www.markmonlux.com

So, why didn’t I give it an eight? Because it depressed the bejezus out of me.
