    Hurrah, a New old Strafe left! I feel bad about not having seen this one, more of the oldies please!

    And are you still doing Strafe left in an unpublished uncensored format? I just can’t imagine life without you Tim.

    Does this mean RPS will be running out of Strafe Lefts soon? Monthly, from August 03 to December 07, if my maths is right I make that only two more strips to go :( (including the TF2 one – will you be posting the uncensored version?)!
