A First Time for Everything, Pg 4

Image
The Daily Grind Table of Contents      We first learned that the Devil's nickname was Zebulon - or at least that the Nulla Lucis called him Zebulon - way back near the beginning of our 24th storyline, " A Long, Long Trail A-Winding ." We didn't get an explanation of what the name referenced until much later, near the middle of the final actual comic in our series here, storyline #114, " A Tickle in the Throat ." And now we get a little talk about it again!

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      And we are moving on! To our 135th storyline, "A First Time for Everything," featuring the return of Ariadne and Chief Henshaw as well as an assortment of other characters. It's almost as if we've got a continuing adventure serial going on here!      As for reviewable reading, Henshaw first showed up in the comic near the beginning of our 27th storyline, " Foreign Correspondence ," while Ariadne appeared a good deal later, near the beginning of our 90th storyline, " Fubar " before going on to become the main antagonist for the whole of Book XVI: Boundless . The two of them then met near the middle of our 98th storyline, " Jurisprudence ," and their relationship devleoped over the next 16 or 17 storylines. We last checked in with them during storyline #123, " Universally Acknowledged ," and now we seem to be checking in again.

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      With a page over twice as long as a regular page, we'll wrap up the 134th storyline here at Daily Grind . My calculations, however, indicate that we'll be getting to storyline #135, "A First Time for Everything," on Monday. So stand by for that!
