Why—you might ask–am I running this comic today instead of on Veterans Day?
Great question. Thank you, dear fictional reader, s-o-o-o much for asking! You are the best!
My answer: You silly ninny! Everyone knows Friday’s the day I post a new episode of The Loves of Abby Amour. Sure, it’s a military comic. But it doesn’t have a a Veterans Day theme.
Thus I’m posting my actual VD tribute today to celebrate tomorrow. So be sure to come back tomorrow and read it again!
