Notes on today's comic (12 May 2010):

I'm absolutely addicted to NCIS! I love all the characters, but my two favourites are Abby and Ducky, because they're so charmingly quirky (no surprises there). I drew Laura as Abby initially, but couldn't figure out how to use the illustration. As you can see, problem solved!

Yet another country, which makes 79... The latest is Switzerland! Oh, in case anyone is worried about Google Analytics (which I'm using to get information about visitors to the site), I would just like to point out that the closest anyone can get with the service is down to the city, town or village; it's not like I can track down anyone's address with the thing! Besides, I'm too damned lazy to be a stalker in any case :)

First of all, yet another country in very short order: Ethiopia! I'd been hoping to get more countries in Africa, but couldn't figure out how to do it. But I seem to be managing it without any effort!

Update on my computer: I've had the wretched thing apart completely, but couldn't see anything wrong with it :( I decided that, under the circumstances, that it wasn't worth pursuing the matter (though my friend John Karpich was on-hand via email with advice). So until I can get a replacement motherboard or computer, I'll just have to be very careful...

A few announcements this time, some good, and another is not-so-good... First of all, Paper or Plastic? has now reached FIVE THOUSAND VISITS! Thanks to everyone who stops by to take a look at the comic!

Speaking of which, there is now only one state of the USA left which hasn't sent a visitor to the site: New Mexico! Further afield, another country from the African continent has paid PoP a visit: Ghana! So the total number of countries has crept up again, to 77!

Now for the not-so-good news... my beloved computer is unwell :( Hopefully, a friend of mine is going to take a look at it if he can (I asked nicely and everything). Since I don't make any money from this comic, and I'm not getting many hours at work (gotta love retail...), it's possible that if the PC dies, the comic will be going on a LONG hiatus. I'll keep you posted as I know more... but keep your fingers crossed (at least mentally)!

As the number of visits approaches 4,900, I can announce that Portugal is the 76th country to visit the site :)
