And that ends what I like to call a “long day” story. I’ve done about three of them throughout the history of the strip with mixed results. They all consist of juggling three plots that take place on the same day. The biggest challenge with them is you can’t move on to another story (or scene) until the “day” is over. On top of this is they tend to run long and the risk of them becoming shaggy dog stories is great.

But now that that’s over let’s leave Stefan and Kate to their snuggling as the rhapsody goes on.
