So I'm kind of startled that Mrs. Giant appeared after being totally invisible for many, many years.

    To tell the truth, I've been thinking of the Giant as gay (in the non-perjorative sense) since I first started reading this comic many years ago. I was about 100% certain of it until earlier today when I made my first post in this thread, in fact. Hence my momentary surprise.

    So the song runs on, with shift and change,
    Through the years that have no name,
    And the late notes soar to a higher range,
    But the theme is still the same.
    Man's battle-cry and the guns' reply
    Blend in with the old, old rhyme
    That was traced in the score of the strata marks
    While millenniums winked like campfire sparks
    Down the winds of unguessed time. -- 4th Stanza, The Bad Lands, Badger Clark
