Guest comic! Guest comic! Guest art is brought to you today by my beautiful and talented girlfriend. She's aces. And she wanted me to let you know that it would be better if she had better paper and more time. Apparently the paper is too slippery (much like me).

Anyways, today's strip. Gaaaaaw, isn't Brighton cute. She likes Melody. Which is unfortunate, considering they're just supposed to be fuck buddies. And were only supposed to sleep together the one time. ... Yeah, guess that didn't work out.

What will happen!? Find out next time... on FANCY THAT!

One of the things I'm finding that I enjoy the most about webcomicry is the fluidity of the form. Things can take as much or as little time as they need to happen, and whatever larks the characters happen to go on in the midst of it all are perfectly acceptable so long as they don't violate the preestablished laws of their environment. Take Brighton and Melody's relationship, for instance. Here's something that I'm not hesitant to refer to as a "slow boil", something that will not come to a definitive conclusion anytime soon. What's going to happen when it reaches a a good, solid hundred degrees Fahrenheit? God knows, and I may know, but I'm certainly not telling. That would spoil the surprise, you see. Or maybe I don't know, and I'm frantically hoping for a natural twenty on my bluff check.

It's a little bit like Schrodinger's Idea...so far as you are concerned, I will be in a quantum state of simultaneously knowing/not knowing until someone opens the hypothetical lead box--i.e., threatens to break my kneecaps with a baseball bat unless I tell them whether I know. Or not. It's all quantum, you see.

I think I've delivered that simile enough blunt trauma to lay out several dozen horses, so let's move along, shall we?

My guitar-related endeavors are progressing apace. I can very nearly change from one chord to another now, which is a considerable improvement over my clumsy and complete inability to do so a mere week ago. I can only hope that the improved manual dexterity from once more taking up a musical instrument will somehow translate into improved aptitude at brassiere removal, though I have no subject available to me on which to exercise that hypothesis.

Anyway, this strip marks the end of the dual "tabletop game/serendipitous lesbian sex" arc. Next time, we'll get to check in on Kent and see what he's up to.

I have no doubt it will be incredibly exciting. ...Maybe.
