Today's comic explains a little bit about why there was such a long break in updating. Sharing lab space is seriously the single most annoying thing anyone can do. You think roommates are bad? They're nothing in comparison. There's a lot I can talk about, given the length of time between the last update and now, but I'm just going to leave this one a little short. I did want to thank everyone for their comments in the thread of the last comic. I wasn't fishing for them when I made the news post, but I was very glad to see them there, so once again, thank you all. [an error occurred while processing this directive] 9/21/08 [an error occurred while processing this directive] I haven't written one of these in a while, so I figured I should. I have no idea what to write here sometimes, whether any of you care about what I'm up to, or just want updates on what's happening with the comic, or what. So I'm just going to ramble some stuff relating to both of them and maybe some kind readers will let me know what they want for the future. Speaking of kind readers, I did want to thank you all for rating the comics. Twenty ratings per comic! It almost makes me feel as though I have an audience! I guess I should also mention that little things like having people rate the comics or post comments or send me emails helps me a lot in doing the comic. Sometimes it takes a little reminding that I am (however slightly) making someone happy to give me the motivation to make more. So a big thank you to everyone who has given me feedback in some form. Today is my first day as a vegan. As reader's of the comic know, I have been a vegetarian for some time now. I won't get into a long discussion about why I made the switch, other than to say that it's for the same reasons that I first became vegetarian. If anyone wants to discuss/debate the issue with me, or has any sage advice to give, I welcome it all (though I reserve the right to use anything stupid you say as material for the next vegetarian themed comic I do). I'm still getting caught up on being sick or two weeks in the start of the semester, so this week is going to be a bit busy, as well the week after next when I have 4 tests. This means no Wednesday comic this week, but then one next week (the 1st), and none the week after (the 8th). Assuming I can finally settle on how to write it, next week will likely see that two-parter I've promised you a few months ago (wow, was it really that long?) [an error occurred while processing this directive] 9/7/08 [an error occurred while processing this directive] Seems I missed an update in there somewhere. Sorry about that. I've come down with some illness - still not sure what - that has kept me out of school for the last week and unable to due much of anything. I'm getting a little better though, so here's an update, with the hope that more will be able to come without delay or hindrance. Just a reminder to please rate the comics. It takes very little time and helps me know what I'm doing well (or not). The last two updates didn't even get enough rating to be listed on the top comics page (they need at least 6).

Normally I try to steer away from the political discussion in the comics, but at this point it's getting a little to ridiculous to not mock, and I figure now's the best time to do it. School starts tomorrow, so depending on how much homework they decide to assign the first week, I may or may not have a comic up Wednesday, but I'm looking to having one if at all possible. See you then. |
