    I’m a little confused, who is related to whom?

    1. Cobalt

      I’ll try to keep it simple…
      Tara, Noah, Gary and Siobhan (the older ones on the left and the right on the couch in the last panel) are related.
      Beverly, Daniel, Conrad (older guy in the middle on the couch) and Marcus are related.
      Sarah is Noah’s friend, albeit a bit of an odd and close friendship, and Penny is Daniel’s wife.

      ~~And Stephen is Tara and Beverly’s dog so he’s not related to any of them xP~~

      If anyone’s wondering why I’m specifying who they parents are, it’s because they don’t have a bio on the character page. At least, not yet.

      1. SnowManSteve

        Sarah was also Tara’s friend prior but became really good friends with Noah.

      2. Crackblind

        Don’t forget that Sarah & Penny were college roommates which is just a beautiful coincidence.

    Steven gonna get pet.

    Now. Let’s see where this goes. Find out what this mysterious news is.

    That kid about to uncover the mysteries of the universe

      Steven ready to be the Krishna to his Arjuna. COME LITTLE ONE, LET ME SHOW YOU THE INFINITE MAJESTY OF THE ETERNAL COSMOS!

    2. All-Purpose Guru

      I am expecting a time-tunnel special effect right up there with 2001.

  5. Noah

    Awwwww such sweet moment of joy between Marcus and Steven with nonexistent tension- Wait, has Conrad been seeing someone recently?!

  6. JMR

    Whoooaaa… Hold up. How old is the kid? How much of a time jump is this?

    I’m calling it now (even though that’s pretty unlikely): Conrad’s trans.

    On a more likely possibility: He’s found a new partner. It’s been long enough, he deserves company.

    1. Good For Thought

      I had always presumed Conrad transitioned after having the twins.

      1. Adeon

        He mentioned in the Christmas arc that he’s not actually a bio parent of the twins. So I think that he’s cis and the twins were born via a surrogate.

  8. RickettyShips

    I’m calling it. Conrad has been super successful selling feet pics.

  9. Sirksome

    Rare pairing interactions and Conrad continuing to be the coolest. A+ comic today.

  10. DarkMagics

    Oh has he been seeing someone?! I’m sure that will result in some emotions for the twins!!

  11. lukas

    So, yip, an unlikely friendship will most definitely blossom out of this encounter. and it will all start with ghosts 😀

    What is the NEWS?!

  13. LordViking

    I feel like I have to keep notes on all going on in this storyline.
    Beverly wants to talk with Conrad, most likely just a father-daughter talk.
    Sarah and Noah are having an argument over conflicting desires on the travel plans, though could be signs of deeper issues with their living situation.
    Dan and Penelope are having an argument as well, not clear yet on the cause but it appears Dan has shared something awkward or uncomfortable related to a dream or possibly fantasy of his.
    Conrad has some unspecified news he hasn’t shared with his kids yet.
    Marcus just told Steven something that forever altered his perception of life, the universe, and everything.

  14. laddie

    How old is the kid now?? I feel like the kid was just a baby a bit ago and now he looks like he’s 2?

  15. Dermkot

    Im guessing …. Conrad has met someone (fingers crossed) and he is going to introduce him to the family at some point of the storyline. Announcing it first at dinner. I hope so. He is a great guy and deserves to be happy. He is just nervous about sharing the news with Dan and Beverly

  16. Lexi

    Steven telling the kid about his drama: “Borf. Borf borf.”
