TA-DAAA!
Hello. I was feeling very… fastidious today and fixing all kinds of stuff instead getting my post up on time. You know, if case you’re waiting with baited breath for the stroke of midnight, CDT. SORRY.
Thanks also for all the advice on non-photo blue leads. I ordered some. They’ll arrive in the next few days. FUN! But not as fun as if I’d been able to just pick them up at the store. OH WELL.
Mmmmm art supplies.

I love Charlie’s body language in the last panel. Talk about trying to be positive.
Hey, I just started reading your comic today! I’ve gotten through the archive and I can’t wait for next week’s comic. I wish you best of luck in these economic troubles.
Heh! Worst. Magic trick. Ever.
Silent panels can be the “nuclear bomb” of a cartoonist’s comedy arsenal. And you, sir, have some of the most fearsome weaponry I have ever seen! Which is my convoluted way of saying “Awesome strip!”
Oh my goodness, Jeremy, thanks!
I’m always apprehensive about using a final silent panel. It feels risky. But I take these risks hoping I can figure out how to make it work. I guess I did!
