What this is

The Periodic Inscrutable is the digest of The Inscrutables, Arthur Trope’s single-panel comics, with the backstory each panel came with — the trip, the sketches that didn’t make it, the legal department’s notes. The editor writes the annotations. Artie declines to.

It is published periodically. The word is doing exactly what it says: an issue appears when there is one. The subscription below exists so you don’t have to check.
