It’s as if they don’t trust me not to meddle in their affairs, or something…

Once again, what we’re doing here is establishing the scenario a bit more. As implied in a couple of earlier strips, Poe and Shimako are “an item,” for lack of a better term. I wanted an established pairing to provide opportunities for the kind of banter that you only get out of a long-term relationship. The flipside of that, then, is the (storytelling) need for a romantic situation that, if not actually doomed, is not bound to be a “smooth sailing” deal.
And so… we get Roger and Rei, the jester and rocker versus the babysitter with an occasionally short fuse.
What could possibly go wrong?

I know I haven’t said anything yet, but I /am/ enjoying the comics 🙂 With or without the abundant punniness.
Here via Shelley. It’s a cute comic – but could you possibly consider a cast listing page? Not only would it help you nail down the details of each character, but it would assist those of us who don’t live with the ducks keep them straight.
It’s in the near-future plans, fear not! And thanks for stopping by!
