Anno Team Slackjaw
Happy Thanksgiving! A new-to-some-of-you comic story will begin on Monday (well, technically the eleventh hour of Sunday, but you get it).
Sadly, two of Team Slackjaw’s contributions to Guilded Age were coded in Flash, and those aren’t really worth annotating or re-presenting these days, as Flash is pretty much dead on the web as it now exists. But this page at least shows a little of their inventive montage-style storytelling and vibrant use of color.
(The same obsolescence has befallen a couple of my old Fans stories, which I’m hoping to “retranslate” to image format by the end of the year.)
Though the Slackjaw comic is likewise no more, you can still find Greg Benge’s portfolio here.
For the record, “sweetbreads” are cooked animal organs rather than sweet breads. For some bizarre reason. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweetbread)
The demon Keymeister’s *real* secret is that his design was probably inspired by ALF.
(This has been noticed before, I suspect.)
The best part is how proud he is of his stupid riddle. ^_^
I was thinking it was sweet bread but I guess that is two words. Makes sense since it comes in bags of twenty or so like this one.

Keymeister’s lucky Frigg stopped to threaten him, instead of just punching him in the breadbasket!
