Fixed My Comic Collection Webpage

Entry for Terrible Minds Random Words Writing Challenge
My entry for the Terrible Minds Random Word Writing Challenge this week. My first entry to one of these. The two characters are from a novel I am working on, and this was a nice chance to play with them. And, so they don’t distract too much, I put the words after the story not before.…
