History: Tracy and Eric are two more of the first Yaks. I am trying to introduce people slowly so other people reading can get to know the characters before I add more...there's nothing I hate more than a conglomerate of ten different same-looking characters in a web comic that you are supposed to figure out all the names of all at once. And since the major differences between all my characters are hair style and eyes, I figured I'd better take it slow before adding all 25+ characters that will eventually be shown. Yeah, that many.

As for the history part (which I have so far neglected) one year we decided to do something for Thanksgiving over at Tracy's apartment in Dallastown. EVERYONE makes turkey or ham, so I decided to try the recipe that I had for beef stew. Little did I know at the time that this would become a tradition! I guess all traditions start as a variation.
