This is another strip that's a little verbose, but it's sort of a windup to the pitch, so I hope you'll take it in stride.

Today's newspost is going to necessarily be a bit brief. I've just started my new job (which is working out quite nicely thus far, thank you for asking), and since I write these little bits of brilliant prose the evening before the comic gets posted, I'm having to cram this into that narrow space between my arrival home from work and my eventual passing-out in preparation for another day of labor--a space also occupied (ostensibly) by dinner and (more often) by an evening's entertainment in cinema form.

The labor, of course, reaps me a sweet bounty of succulent green money, so I have no real complaints in that direction. It is simply that sleep is a physiological necessity, and that before I can sleep I must view at least one episode of G Gundam, which is a fanboyological necessity. No, I did not make that word up. It's in the dictionary. Check it out. If you can't find it, I don't know what kind of fucking pussy-ass dictionary you've got your grubby paws on.

Anyway, I'd like to apologize for the missed update on Monday--between an exhausting weekend full of garage sales and other such things and me starting a new job, things got a bit crazy. But things are starting to sort of level out now, so I see no reason why we won't be getting back to our usual schedule.
