original_post:_8/8/2001_______________ Damion makes his debut in this comic. I loosely based Damion on my college friend Drew, but Drew wasn't really a goth, but he was a funny weird, brilliant guy. Drew would later collaborate with me to write the strip for a while. I didn't know how much people would like this character, and I originally didn't plan on keeping him around that long. Little did I know that Damion, and the locale of Hypno Coffee would stick around for a while.
