That bit with the dog was amazing. It was the middle of a nice night in Jasper, very quiet, and as we were momentarily stopped everybody on the bus was either quietly stretching their legs outside or waiting to carry on. Out of nowhere this large, shaggy, friendly dog ambles onto the bus. It walked the entire aisle and back, pausing momentarily to sniff interesting things or people, then hopped off and sauntered away. Nobody said anything, but for a moment we all looked at each other and I could tell we were all thinking the same thing — “Did that actually just happen, or did I hallucinate it?” [May 16, 2012]

(Wait a second! Isn’t he supposed to be on a bus today? How did this get posted?
Well, thanks to the magic of WordPress’ scheduled posting feature,
I can write this in advance.
At the time this is set to be posted,
the Real Me is somewhere between Edmonton and Jasper!
MAGIC!)

Well it’s 2011 as I write this and my flag isn’t flying above the parliament buildings just yet. I also haven’t managed to make merchandise out of it in any way, although I do still like the design very much and have always wanted to update it a little.

Oh, and this comic marks the first time that I employed alt-tags to sneak extra jokes and commentary into each comic. (Those are the bits of text that appear when you hover your mouse over the image.) I stole the idea from Dinosaur Comics, basically, although I’ve also noticed a lot of other comics do it too.
