Ted Forth goes on and on about a multidimensional adventure while Hilary and Faye discuss
Ted’s grasp on reality. Ces scripts over 250 words leaving little room for art.
And as the strip progresses the verbiage gets denser and denser.

Also living lives in multiple universes like Ted are Poncho and Mr. McClellan.
