11	There she killed a rainbow... bear... ''thing'', inadvertently rescuing both the diminutive locals and Flint, a sort of grey elf... thing. There are lots of things in this comic.

13	The locals, in celebration, held a party for Daisy, who also was given by them a cape made of the hide of the creature she killed and the "professional monster puncher" title of "Snarlbear", and for Flint, Daisy's self-proclaimed "agent" -- and that's the beginning of their adventures!

15	The comic itself finished its run on February 10, 2017, after nearly five years. This means that, unlike [[LongRunner many webcomics out there]], reading it wouldn't take [[Main/ArchiveBinge a massive dedication to the cause.]] Instead, it would take something a bit closer to two hours, more or less.
