Summarise a Long-Running Webcomic Before You Catch Up on the Archive
You loved this webcomic, then life happened, and now there are four hundred pages between you and the current storyline. This rebuilds the plot from where you stopped: new characters, running jokes you missed, and what is still unresolved. No archive binge required before you can follow along again.
