The sad truth of it is, sometimes there’s someone else. And she likes him better, and he got there first, and there’s nothing wrong with him that you can prove. IS Clay Parker Whatsisface? That remains to be seen. But he is definitely Katie’s boyfriend. It’s been building to this the whole time, including the oddly sudden nature of the reveal. I have been wanting to have someone call Reg “Rex” for no reason since before forever. Hopefully I can keep my drawing output up to get thorugh the conclusion here in good time, because what a note to leave off on!
PS Reg is so mindblown that his strip becomes XKCD for the last bit. That’s pretty egregious.
