Notes on today's comic (5 Jul 2010):

I love it when guests join in! This strip is once again based on a real event: Every now and then, I do tell children, absolutely straight-faced (not even smiling like DigiMe in this strip) that it's a Federal law that they have to pay back everything their parents bought for them as they grew up... their responses are usually either, "Nah..." or a look of sheer horror! I've not yet had the situation where the kids change their mind :)

Thing is, when I'm joking with guests, they sometimes join in on the joke - and I did have a guest who told her child exactly what the mother is saying in this comic :)

Okay, I'm back! It was nice to have a bit of a break from drawing (and it's not like I make money from the thing, so I wasn't losing anything). Still having trouble trying to find stuff that's as funny as the earlier work, but who knows what might happen?

In the break, two more countries visited the site: Malawi and Colombia! Welcome to both!

I've been wondering about taking a break for a while, now. I don't plan to give it up completely, but I think it'd be a good idea to just step back from it a little bit, and hopefully things will improve!

Apologies, apologies... First of all, for last Wednesday: ComicGenesis had made a major change to their system, and was doing a full update for all 13,000-plus web comics - the problem was that there were numerous comics (not including mine, I hasten to add!) that were incorrectly set up, causing the revised system to lock up! Ironically, I normally do the Wednesday comic late, but this time had it uploaded hours in advance... only for the update to temporarily break!

And apologies for today's cartoon being late... I wasn't even sure I was in the mood to do it (things have been rather BLAH of late). But I got my arse in gear and did the job - late, yes, but I did it.

On the upside, there's been a visitor from Vietnam, bringing the country list up to 81 members... but on the downside, I'm inclined to wonder if I've scared away the visitor from Trondheim in Norway because of mentioning their city! Come back! :(
