Hey happy to hear it clicked with you, and it sounds like it resonated with you just in the way we were hoping. Exactly this style of humor is what we also learned from the land where the comics( strip) comes and we are honored that you have recognised that. Thank you for the great words it means alot, especially for a small channel like ours.
