Carl was a part of the new group that had made it to Alexandria. And aside from the chaos that brought with it, notably the group's unconventional behaviors and morals compared to the people you grew up with, they were pretty tame.

That's why when you saw him in class later, grouped with Ron and Enid studying, you made the effort to talk to him and find out he was into the comics Ron used to read.

Since you had a collection yourself and read them over 100 times already, you figured to give them to him after the makeshift "school" of Alexandria ended.

Now you were at the West end of the community looking between the two houses their group had, walking up the steps to the porch on the left to knock on the door.

It was Rick who let you in, as you made your way past the others and set the bag of comics down on the counter. Eventually Carl came down after being called, and he slowed to a small pace as he came over to the table curiously.

"What's this for?" Carl asked in confusion. Partially hoping it was for him, but not having the energy to react if it was.
