Author: Matty Boy

A bilious and vitriolic cartoonist living in Atlanta, who pines for the days of great fantasy comics. You know, before everything was a corporate icon, and before cartoons looked like advertising for breakfast cereals.

NOTES

NOTES

  • Cornelius begins feeling resentment towards Bromance
  • Jellyback explains that the Glowborg genocide was perpetrated by Refusaleth, not Nefaria, who instead took the credit after Refusaleth’s disappearance, and gained the resultant power and infamy
  • There are no records of Refusaleth’s existence because the Glowborgs destroyed them, for better or worse
