It really just is exhausting trying to keep up with all of these, but as it is a major way that I let people know this comic exists, I keep trying them as they pop up. Who knows how many will still exist when this strip runs. lol

Debbie Field of Missing Submersible Titan Found Near Titanic
Debris has been found in the search for the missing Titan, including parts of its outside cover.
Dive expert David Mearns said the president of the Explorers Club - which is connected to the diving and rescue community - says the debris includes "a landing frame and a rear cover from the submersible".
