This comic idea came to mind soon after the upside-down Thwomp comic (10 strips ago!) but I didn't want to have two similarly-themed comics so close. There's something about Thwomps that's just funny to me, I suppose.

As many of our readers were quick to point out, this month marks five years of Brawl in the Family! That's a pretty neat milestone, although admittedly, I wish I could devote something to it at this time. It crept up on me in the midst of all the book orders and Kickstarter rewards...although I suppose having a book of the first 200 strips is still a cool way to mark such an occasion! Thank you to well-wishers on the forums and to all of you readers for the past five years!
