Ah, okay. I was wondering if there was something that'd happened to his family that he didn't like talking about, something that had led to him becoming Misper (don't comment on that!).
I'm looking forward to these ambiguities being cleared up so we can see how right (or how wrong!) we were. Did you expect this much attention to be paid to Urby when you wrote the comic or decided to release it two pages at a time (I'm guessing the weekly released are affecting the way we read and engage with it, I know that's true for me anyway).
I didn't expect anyone to pay much attention to any of it, to be honest! I do think the 2-page release encourages (or obliges) people to study every little detail more closely.
This issue is very much focused on Urbanite, but if you were reading the issue as a whole from start to finish, you would actually have all the mysteries cleared up within half an hour, rather than 10 weeks.
Actually what I was aiming for here was a flipping of the more conventional situation where secret identities are drawn out for ages... I thought it would be neat and funny (and help to demonstrate her intelligence) if Cat, once she puts her mind to it, figures out top-secret identities that have baffled the city, with almost no problem at all.
'Is Superman Clark Kent' kept Lois guessing for decades, so it amused me to have Cat work out a similar mystery right away.
