So it looks like I’ve made a decision of sorts. Since I began this comic I’ve never been quite sure where it was set. I’m Canadian and I’ve lived my whole life in Canada, but I’m a child of American, British and yes, even Canadian Pop Culture (I even know all the words to the theme song of the CBC sitcom King of Kensington! – okay, I’m a bit old…). I also have an interest in world politics and if one has such an interest, American politics has got to be front and centre (yeah, that’s how we spell centre in Canada!). In light of this I’ve thought maybe the strip is set somewhere in the US, or maybe it’s in Canada, where we do talk about American issues a bit. Well, in this strip I’ve made Chuckles a “True Republican”, so I guess that means the strip is set in the good ole’ United States of America? Can I do that? I’ve never lived there. Mind you, I’ve lived most of my life in Winnipeg, which is an hour from the border. So maybe I’m allowed to set the strip in North Dakota? I’ve been there a number of times! Maybe Minnesota? I have a fondness for Minneapolis! Hmmmm… maybe it’s just set somewhere in the US. Or, well, maybe Chuckles is an American living in Canada? Maybe we’ll never know? I’m rambling now, so enough of this.
On another note, I’ve finally added chapters to the site, so you you can now read this and the previous story-line from the beginning! Yay! Thanks to my wife Anne for figuring out how to do that for me. Should’ve had her look at it a long time ago…
