I’ve praised Dumbing of Age’s archive system before, and strips like this are a great example of why. I had a very vague memory of the name Leland and no clue who the fuck Asher was, but it only took me like thirty seconds to look it up in-comic and see that Leland was the bully who fucked up Marcie’s throat and Asher was the kid who got Sal into crime. Now I’m all caught up and I didn’t have to go to a wiki!
Tagging your comic pages with characters makes it so much easier for you to do these kind of callbacks without new or forgetful readers getting lost. And it’s a default functionality in ComicPress! More webcomics should be doing it, but so few do!
