	Until recently there was a webcomic at firmanproductions.com called Moe, with a simple comment system under pages. People developed a habit of writing cheeky haikus, and when updates stopped coming the it was the last page that began to pile them up. Hosting continued for years and years, and for some reason we freaks, loyal to nothing in particular, would check in once or twice a year and wish each other well, maybe compose a somewhat-respectable haiku, and even talk about a meetup. No mention of a beach house as I recall. --[[Special:Contributions/172.68.2.107\|172.68.2.107]] 06:46, 21 January 2024 (UTC)		Until recently there was a webcomic at firmanproductions.com called Moe, with a simple comment system under pages.
