My Brother's Keeper

Today's Strip

Unfortunately Conal Fitzpatrick has only made one cameo this year. This is a pity since he's fun to write. As he was last year, he's been staying in the unrentable 304, which doubles as the Fitzpatrick's guest house. Now that shore leave his is over, Rowan is moving in.

Perks of Being an Officer

Today's Strip

For a while I was worrying how to handle Conal. I had flat out said that his holiday leave ended at New Years and I wanted to spell out that he had shipped out. To a certain extent I probably shouldn't have worried. He's a secondary character and I probably would have gotten away with him just disappearing for a year of more but I think this covers things nicely.

You Think I Should Trust Him Outside of a Submarine?

Today's Strip

I was a little worried about this one. Annie may dote over her younger son but that shouldn't mean she's delusional. Also I finally managed to squeeze in some extra exposition regarding Conal's background.

You're Her Little Woobie!

Today's Strip

Conal seems to be the passive one in the family. But then again when Brian is involved do you have a choice?

Meet Conal

Today's Strip

This week begins the continued introduction of minor characters. In this case Brian's younger brother, Conal. It's interesting, for the longest time I merely had him as a note about the Fitzpatricks which said: "the youngest son is in the military" and the instant I gave him a name he started writing himself and not in the way I expected.
