Halo Jones Anybody

Anybody could have done it, just a normal person who upped and left.
























2000AD Monthly March 1989

There ain’t much to mill work.
The days just drag on and on.
There ain’t much to leaving home till you finally cut the cord and know you’re gone.
And there ain’t much to ice fishing till you miss a day or more
And the hole you cut freezes over
and it’s like you have never been there before.
