I know I’ve been playing too much Red Dead Redemption because the other day I glanced out the window while stuck in traffic and thought about using some birds that were flying over head for target practice.
Thanks for letting me know that you’re back!
Funny thing…
…my question above…?
… it’s still valid, after all this time, because your link to Page#001 no longer works.
Lol, yeah, my links all ended up hosed when I did this latest redesign.
Over the years I had a few different comics that I placed first in the archive. I’ll have them all available somewhere eventually, but I think the story works best starting here.
@Nick:
I look forward to seeing them all, but in my heart-of-hearts, I’ll always be partial to the “”Conception of Nate” strip, which is how I first discovered this story.
The original Treading Ground comics were created between 2003 and 2011. As such, you'll find some unfortunate hallmarks of raunchy comedies of the time. These include casual misogyny, dubious sexual situations, insensitive edgelord humor and a character using the r-slur.
While these are not typically portrayed as positive, it's definitely not how I would write the comic today, and you should know that going in. That said, there's still a lot of good stuff here.
There's also some nudity. Consider the whole comic NSFW!

I can’t listen to Broken Wings without wanting to pull into the opposite lane or take a ramp skyborne.

RDR is amazing. I didn’t actually get around to playing it until 2016, but it still holds up, and I’m looking forward to RDR2.

Down here, we have a station called Mix 106.5 that plays 80s music.

Just found your link while trying to recover lost data…
…what happened to the original version of the start of the story?
