Those of you who aren’t plugged in on either Facebook or Twitter might have missed all the teasing I was doing of some future goodness.

Sorry!
Hello, I just got in. Ordinarily I’m in bed an hour ago, so obviously there won’t be a funny drawing tonight. Maybe tomorrow…?
Suggestion Box
In other news I have no solid plan for celebrating my site’s sixth birthday. Is there something in particular you’d like to see?
Compromise
Why’s there suddenly a little URL on the comic? Because a friend of mine told me today that he’d recently seen a comic of mine get to the 2nd page of /r/funny on Reddit, and while I won’t be counting million dollar bills anytime soon I appreciate any exposure. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell there was no source citation whatsoever and I didn’t see a shred of traffic from it. So, if somebody reposts a comic they at least know where to go for more, from now on. That’s all!
I’m getting married today!
And I’m passing the savings on to you. Click through for comics and words galore!
Not a Friday?!
Tomorrow isn’t a work day so today felt like Friday and I forgot to prepare a comic and now it’s too laaaaate and if I try to think I fall asleep.
Ah, defacement
Maybe my message is too important and that’s why weirdo hacker kids keep defacing my site? Anyway, it’s fixed for the time being (although quite slow, but I think that has more to do with my hosting). Thanks for your patience! Regular updates should resume tonight.
The PSZ
So today, a little different; I had a bit of the flu and was very nearly done a comic about same when my art program unexpectedly crashed. I strongly dislike re-drawing comics because I’m lazy and don’t want to take the time to make them look as good as the first time around.
BUT: Rather than cancelling tonight’s instalment outright, I’m giving you a rare glimpse into my creative process by posting the script for tonight’s comic directly from my sketchbook. Enjoy!

Ralph McQuarrie died on Saturday at the age of 82. He was a painter and illustrator, and did a lot of amazing conceptual work for Star Wars and many other big names in sci-fi. His work has definitely had an influence on me, and he’ll be missed.
New Banner!
What better way to spend “Family Day” (or “Louis Riel Day” to us Manitobans) than in a drafty basement copying a Belgian? Check the Banners page or refresh obsessively until you see it!
