Visit to the doctor's office determined that I've been forgetting to give him some of his pills, which is probably the main source of his various recent problems; good - I can fix that, at least.
Afterwards we crossed town to check out The Comics Lounge, which seems to be staffed mainly by people who used to work at Dragon Lady. Except for being at the top of a steep and narrow staircase, it's pretty good. Terry Moore (Strangers in Paradise, Echo) is currently writing and drawing a horror comic, Rachel Rising and the collected issues 1-6 have just come out. Rachel wakes in a shallow grave outside her small town, with rope burns on her neck, bloodshot eyes and no memory of what turns out to be the previous two days. Naturally she turns to her butch "Aunt Johnny" (unclear if she's actually her aunt, or her late mother's lover, but she's the only family our heroine has, and also she's the town mortician), and to her best friend Jet, to help figure out what's happened to her; meanwhile, more supernatural stuff is afoot.
I hadn't heard of this comic before, but I think I'm going to be following it.
