Just one last final in quantum mechanics on Friday, after which I will be able to once again think of more pleasant things. Things such as improving the webcomic, drawing new comics, fixing an as of yet undetermined number of broken, half assembled, or malfunctioning computers, and watching all 21 seasons of Star Trek TNG, DS9, and Voyager. Just three more days. Until then, may those of you who are still students find the point at which the marginal costs and benefits of sleeping and studying are balanced, and those of you who are no longer students relish in the relative freedom you have from the tyranny of tests. [an error occurred while processing this directive] 12/10/06 [an error occurred while processing this directive] I don't think it needs to be said, but I'm going to say it anyway. Finals week sucks! It will all be over by Friday though, and then you'll have your normal happy, healthy, and geeky webcomic author back.

In the meantime, I want to point you all to a great game that goes by the name of N. I've been passing many hours procrastinating on studying with it. Check it out (but you should probably wait until after your finals, lest you get addicted.)

Finally, you are well on track to getting another bonus comic this month, so keep up the good work. I'm still working on this month bonus, and I suspect I'll have it just in time for it to be a Christmas present for ya'll. [an error occurred while processing this directive] 12/03/06 [an error occurred while processing this directive] Well, you guys did it. We ended the month with 204 votes, blasting past that 200 vote goal by a whopping 2%. I already have a special something worked out for the bonus, but I have to keep hush about it until the latter 2/3 of the month. You like it though, trust me.

And on the note of voting rewards, it's a new month, which means new incentives. This month, you all will get anoher bonus comic if we end December with 200 votes. Because buzzcomix seems to be crazy and not resetting this month, we're going to count it as 200 votes made during the month, though that may vary from the listed total (which currently says 215.) If it doesn't reset, then your goal is 404 total votes. If it resets mid-month or something, I'll have to figure out what it is from there.

Now, I've been hovering around the 115 range on the list the last week or so. If you all are able to bring me up into the top 100, this month, I'm going to up the bonus to two extra comics PLUS some crazy awesome wallpaper.
