It’s been a good long while since we’ve seen a larger-form strip here at Mad Scientist High; I do apologize for that. I have an excuse, but if I told you, I’d have to kill you, because it’s a surprise, so you’ll just have to trust me. And, trust me that it won’t be such a long time before Sunday-sized strips rear their heads again. I enjoy them too much to let them fall by the wayside for so long ever again.
So, after getting hinted at twice before, we finally get to meet Mr. Ferguson today! Originally, he’d been kind of drawn to resemble Galt, with a bushy mustache and reading glasses, but that guy mutated pretty swiftly into Galt’s grandfather, so the redoubtable Mr. Ferguson had to remain out of sight (and mostly out of mind) until I could figure out something else to do with him. Months of doodling later, and here he is, a zombified corpse with an artificially implanted brain. It’s a bit of a switch, but we’ll make it work. We always do…
