        Yeah, my introduction to it was a random vaguely interested click some Sunday morning in a comment chain like this, only to have my entire day and evening consumed by the comic. I powered through the entire thing in basically one sitting. I think a big driver for that was because it is such a heavy read, I just wanted that baggage contained to a single reading session and not dripped out through a week or two, subsuming entire days in just melancholy.
