A fun fact (Patreon)

If you're a long time reader of this comic, you may recognize this character by the name "Barry". Well he was named after the dad of one of my friends, as something of an inside joke.
Real Barry was an odd fella. Very friendly, but also an extremely (EXTREMELY) conservative preacher. Yet over the years, we had heard many spicy rumors about real Barry. And in college I met a fellow classmate who had some ... intimate experiences with the man.
And last year, he made the news: https://ktvo.com/news/local/poyner-pleads-guilty-to-adair-county-prostitution-charge
My favorite comedian, Tom Segura, even commented on the story on Joe Rogan's podcast, which was pretty surreal.
So anyway, I just thought that would be an interesting little anecdote to share, and a fun peak behind the curtain.
