I guess I should say that this whole story arc is fictitious. Reese and I haven't been roommates for many many years. Even so (at least until we both had real life girlfriends)we hung out every day. So no, Reese didn't, in reality, just move out and my characters lament is just that... the characters.

It's always odd trying to signify the differences of self and character. There are many times I wish we had not made the decision to use that naming convention. But now, 6 years into the comic, it wouldn't make much sense in changing that now.

Rule of thumb... If you think "I wonder if this really happened" and I didn't say it did in the post... it didn't.
