And thus, a day late, the story continues with the sealing of the deal.

I experimented with curved balloon tails. Some of the results are amateurish, sorry.

A reason for the tardiness is I have returned to Seattle for a week long “excursion.” I did manage to color part of the comic on the plane, but it is rather difficult when your laptop is roughly the size of a CRT monitor. (I exaggerate.) Airplane seating is not especially roomy either, but at least I did not have to sit next to two diseased, large and hairy fishermen . . . that is a story for another time.

Sometime in the relatively near future, the charitable people at Northwest Wishes are delivering me a shiny new baby to assist me in my artistic laboring. Yes, I know, it is a Mac. And I know, some people are morally opposed to such systems, but I already have two custom built Windows systems draining the electric bill. I figured it was time to diversify. My monitor-to-be was made with the help of magic, so you know it must be good. (Note: The Make-A-Wish site says it grants wishes to children, which creates the illusion that I am six. Awesome.)

Also, in association with Northwest, the kind masters over at Penny Arcade have so graciously allowed my humble self to observe their workings for a day. Very exciting.

I am trying to craft a new Everyman, but unfortunately I did not have the time to sketch it out and scan it in. I am currently contemplating sketching it digitally. I should stress that I hate sketching digitally. We’ll see how that goes.

This was linked on Penny Arcade blog. I recommend it for some bizarre laughs.

I can’t guarantee a comic next week, but I might do a little bit of art or something in between.

‘Ppreciate it.
