(The title was in homage to Mel Brooks -- quoting Spaceballs -- and not Gary Larson,
but I'm certainly not above raising the Far Side in tribute.)
Anyways, the strip was basically a sitcom about the residents of an apartment complex. I may bring that concept back to the fore, but for now, The Down Side is mostly whatever silly joke pops into my head at the time I sit down to draw. (Though the Saint brothers have popped up in a few strips already...)
The reboot of the comic came back in December, when I started to do 2 comics a week over at my Patreon page (http://www.patreon.com/erikburnham) just to have some ready content available... and the other day I finally decided to get going on my plans to share them with
non-patrons, too!
The strips will be a month or so behind Patreon, but you can
read them for free over on twitter at:

And thank you for all of it.
