So this comic is a fun story. �For a while I thought I'd just let it slip forever into the obscurity of my hard drive, but then I thought, Hey, Easy Buffer Stuffer. �So here it is. �But not without explanations! John Krasinski, aka Jim from The Office, was for a while the frontrunner to play Captain America. �I totally thought he was gonna get it. �I was 90% sure. �And so I drew this comic. �And, because I'm not terribly smart, I kept it until the day that this would be inevitably, officially announced as Happening. I say this is not terribly smart because Joel Watson of Hijinks Ensue (who is, coincidentally, one of the Best People in the World) had the very exact same idea for a strip and published his immediately. �Well, fuck. �Good show, Joel. �Good show. �So not only was I beaten to the punchline through my own misplaced caution, but then the idea behind the strip ended up not even happening. �Johnny Storm gets to be Captain America instead. Long story short, have this strip anyway. �I worked on it, so people should at least see it! � It was originally gonna run in March, but... well. �Sometimes we don't get what we want. Especially since what I really wanted was for Jim to be Captain America. �That would have been awesome.
