Justice may be a bit of a misnomer. But Grannie Badass doesn’t roll off the tongue as well, so there you are. GJ first appeared here, in a very nice sketch, looking totally badass. She was Theo’s idea, and I’ve no idea where she came from (or where she’s going, really), but with the feminists and the geriatrics picketing outside our studio, I figured throwing her in would kill two birds with one stone. So stay tuned this week for the continued adventures of GJ as she moves up the food chain from boy scouts to ninjas, to who knows what else. As Rachel might say, there will be much asskickery.

We’re rapidly approaching strip #50, and we’re really really really excited about it. By Friday of next week we’ll have hit #49. So yeah, we’re that close. #50 is always a landmark event for a webcomic, especially one with the ridiculous notions of fame that we here at La Casa entertain on a daily basis. (These notions involve getting frequently high-fived by the guys at Penny Arcade for our outstanding work, among other things.) It’s like a six-month anniversary in your first ever relationship. It’s not really an anniversary, but you’re going to get your older brother to buy you some booze anyway, which you’ll sneak into the drive-in after you’ve pretended to cook a meal you got at Safeway and then heated up, hoping to get lucky.

Ahh, memories…

Okay, made-up memories. The point is, #50 is a cause for celebration, so if you think of something fitting for us to ring in the occasion, do tell. ‘Til then, we’ll catch ya Wednesday.
