!!Stylesjl
Brother of Stylesrj. When they first joined in DYOS 5, they took turns writing what was essentially the same comic. While they continue to share characters, over time they came to develop divergent styles. Stylesjl's comics are primarily dialogue-driven shorts that often include references to current events. Recently they follow a two-part formula, where the former half deals with the ongoing story and the latter half is devoted to a FourthWallMailSlot.
