Interesting Times Washes Out

Hey, y’all. My hot water tank started spilling its innards into the basement, and so the computer on which I normally create these comics is all unplugged and shoved over into a different place. It wasn’t nearly as much of a disaster as it could have been, but until we can straighten this mess out I’m afraid there won’t be regular updates. Shouldn’t be more than a day or two.

Thanks for your patience! There’s always Beedogs while you wait.

There was cheering and celebration yesterday night as Nathan Fehr finally completed the game that had haunted him for nearly his entire life.

“I just feel elated,” he never actually said. “Like a weight’s been lifted off my shoulders.”

Fehr, who has struggled with completing Super Mario Bros. since boyhood, finally achieved his dream at roughly 10:30 p.m. “I had just posted a comic about how difficult I still found the game,” explained Fehr to reporters in his imagination. “I glanced over at the TV and thought I’d give it one more go before heading off to bed.”

His wife was unavailable for comment at press time but sources close to the couple say that she expressed pride in her husband’s success.
