If you were curious, Taro Watanuki is (was) 18 years old at the time of this flashback. No matter how it works out for everybody else, apparently he at least made it back to Von Hayek Station safe and sound. To a first approximation, Mad Scientist Benjamin is 25 years old, Djaya is around 30, and Manny is around 38.

Okay! It's time for the shout outs or "mad props" if you will (oh, and you will, no doubt about that.) The first congratulation goes to Nathan Bonner and Indavo, celebrating its first anniversary. Woo! And the second congratulation goes to Faith Hicks and Demonology 101, which recently snuck up and finished its five year run! As a completed online webcomic, D101 goes into a rare exalted category along with other completed webcomics... um... well... I'm sure somebody else must have completed a comic, although I'll admit none are coming to mind right now. Now I have to take two solid weeks off from work so I can re-read the whole thing from the beginning!
