I'm trying to stay patient to see what the first storyline is about. But right now my inclination is for them to just run old strips that we can mock. At least that demands something of the audience. This is shaping up to be bland and passive.WestwayKid wrote: ↑16 Oct 2020, 9:08amThe new Mark looks like a blithering idiot.
