<B>Updates owed counter: 4</B><P>

Happy 4th of July to all you Americans out there.  A belated Canada Day to all my Canadian readers.  Happy, umm, Wednesday, to everyone else.  It may be interesting to note that this is my 74th comic, on the 4th day of the 7th month (7/4).  Perhaps that makes this comic even more holida themed, or perhaps it just means that I'm a raving lunatic who reads far too much into coincedental numbers.<P>

In either case, the next update will be Friday, the 6th.  Then another on Sunday.

<B>Updates owed counter: 4</B><P>

Once again, apologies for the crazy updating schedule.  There is good news though.  In addition to getting the laptop fixed, I finally got my new desktop up and running (the motherboard I originally ordered for it was dead on arrival, so I had to RMA it.)  Now, next time a computer breaks, I'll be able to use the other one to update.  The schedule shouldn't get interrupted anymore unless they simulatanious break (which isn't a great impossibility, knowing how everything I touch breaks.)  On a happy note though, the breaking of my laptop this last time delayed my somewhat iPhone themed comic to right near its release date, instead of a week prior.  So let's call it divine intervention.<P>

As I was drawing, writing, photoshopping, and uploading today's comic, I realized how truly organic the process is.  I had been toying with the idea of today's comic for a few weeks now, so I had a pretty good idea of how I was going to do it.  When I actually started drawing it, however, the format very quickly mutated and eventually became what what you see before you now.  It was not unakin (I'm not sure if that's a word, but if not, it should be) to watching a highly viscous liquid mold itself into the shape of its container.<P>

But enough musing about that.  I have an astronomy project that I need to finish this week before my advisor goes off to Canada, so the next update will be a regularly scheduled Sunday update.  July will see the return of the three day a week update schedule, and, god willing, the end as well.

<B>Updates owed counter: 3</B><P>

A bit of a departure from the 3 and 4 panel format I have fallen into lately.  I'm trying to get this thing published in the school paper, and for that I need a healthy collection of standard sized comics.  Worry not though, as crazy formatted comics will still make their appearances whenever I get an idea that requires one.<P>

Next update will be on Friday again, lowering that annoying updates owed counter even further.
