Afterlife Blues

The great folks behind the web comic, Afterlife Blues, (Jon Kilgannon and Mark Sachs) have graciously linked to our site, so I would like to return the favor. As to how this happened is a bit odd.

You shouldn’t have gotten out of bed this morning… It’s been five years since the Freeport Guard was divided between the Sea Lord Guards and the Watch.
