FYI for those who gave up on the strip, oh, 15 years or so ago: they have *finally* rationalized the name Sluggy Freelance. The rationalization is utterly ridiculous, of course (it involves Bun-Bun actually being an ancient god of power named Lord Sluggy), but rather to my surprise they're managing to tie together 17 years' worth of plot threads in a way that almost makes sense if you squint hard, and are willing to accept a truly insane level of time-travel complexity...
