It’s been just about a year since We Make Clouds debuted on Zuda. There have been bumps (scheduling and otherwise) along the way, but I’m proud of the work J and I have put into this comic.
I don’t know what the future holds for either of us or for WMC, but we hope you’ve enjoyed the adventures of Drew and the gang. Happy New Year to one and all, and thanks for your continued support!
After the SMOKED IN storyline kicked off here, Drew was trapped in a fumigated office with only his instincts to survive.
As demonstrated over the course of three weeks of tweeting from his laptop, those instincts included huddling up in the kitchen, retrofitting a coffee filter and goggles as a mask, and using a spork and paper clips to his advantage.
Of course, he eventually got out, but we’re left with the indelible image of Drew at his worst.
Confused? If you’re a die-hard WMC fan (Hi, Mom!), you shouldn’t be.
This is our little conclusion to the hiatus-filling SMOKED IN storyline that kicked off a few weeks ago with the season 2 capper, Up In Smoke.
As you can see below, Drew managed to continue tweeting from inside the office, where fumes and isolation slowly claimed his sanity. Here’s the whole saga:
