Rooster Tails

Heya, I’ve  been feeling guilty for not being able to put up a strip in the last two weeks, so it’s with great excitement that I present Rooster Tails first ever guest comic! RJ is the super-talented artist behind the webcomic Riot Nrrd, which, if you haven’t been reading, I suggest you start. Super yay!
