Time Fogey



One day in 1998, I woke up at like 5:30am for some reason. For some other reason, I turned on the local news, and there was a young, female newsanchor who was visibly hungover and it was obvious the last thing she wanted to be doing at that moment was read the news in front of a camera. I'd been toying with the idea of making a comic strip to submit to syndicates, and I found my lead character right there. I had a good friend with the last name "Day," and the cranky local newsanchor Zoe Day from my first comic When I Grow Up was born right then and there.

The point is, don't ever go back in time and fix your mistakes on your deathbed. Let Time Fogey show you how to turn regret into ultra-regret! Could this comic's true face only be seen in the light of this comic?

So your future self went back in time in order to kill you, his past self? He should have just gotten you to take up a dangerous habit. Like swimming with stingrays or running across the highway or something.
