In case you’re new or just forgot, the camera being referenced in today’s comic was introduced here.  I suppose the takeaway from Scott’s tale is not to waste time wondering; the sooner you get closure the sooner you can move on.  And the sooner you can realize whether or not it was worth waiting for.  Maybe.

The next comic will be Friday, of course, which won’t entail nearly as much of a wait as Scott went through.

When it comes to games, Molly don’t play.

Be back Wednesday.

It’s not exactly the easiest thing to keep in mind the moment failure happens, and often it’s cold comfort.  But if you have a winners attitude, you realize that failure is just another one of life’s routines and adults learn from them.

I’ll be back next week, starting Monday, for the once a month three comic week.

Like Molly, I have had a chance to play the game described above, none other than Friday The 13th, the game.  I managed to get in as Jason on my very first game, which I initially believed to be a good thing; sadly this belief was promptly and soundly thrashed by what could only be described as a masterfully executed counselor team (or maybe I was just that terrible).  I spent most of the time being outmaneuvered and stunned by bats and fireworks, and didn’t manage to kill anybody.

So, I suppose I’m living vicariously through my character here, since I myself didn’t ever manage a cool environmental kill as Jason but I sure as shooting experienced the above birdbath kill as a counselor.   The game is a lot of fun and I recommend giving it a try, especially if you can manage to scrape together a group made up of cool people you already know.  I could see this being a scream (see what I did there) as a Friday night hangout.

In other News, things are a bit rough over in Patreon land; I’ve received a few cancellations based on distaste for the Platform’s recent activities and I find myself in agreement.  I will be setting up an equivalent paypal donation page for anyone who doesn’t care for Patreon as a platform but still want a way to support.  To everyone who has offered support all year, THANK YOU.  Even a $1 pledge for one month was a welcome boost to my rationale for putting time into this project and it pleases me greatly that you found value in the content and wanted to provide value in return.

ON THAT NOTE —

If you want to help your humble comic creator and our blue haired free thinking engineer but don’t want to set up a recurring donation or a one off tip in a proverbial jar, AND get something cool in return, I have just the thing on its way soon.  I’m extraordinarily excited about this and I think anyone reading this will get a huge kick out of it.  I’m being intentionally and annoyingly vague since it’s not quite ready, but I assure you it will be worth the equivocation.  I’ll be talking more about it in this space regularly.

I’ll be back Friday.

No reference to reality here.  Nope.  No sir.

The adorable stuffed Dragon is Captain Thew of Galactic Dragons by Dana Atnip.

If you’re not familiar, let Molly explain it:

Be back next week.  I have some sleeping in to do.

:Dan

Yes, overwhelming strength is boring.

Fortunately for most of us, we don’t have that problem.  Although I, like Molly, can indeed pound the stuffing out of most common irritating household pests, at least  most of the time.  Every now and then you get one of those suckers who will just grab your fist and flip you into the trash can.  At that point I’m afraid you’re just going to have to move.  They’ve won.

I’ll be back Friday with more stuff here.  Till then my friends, till then!

So, for the past year and a half or so without much fail to speak of, the comic has updated regularly, religiously, like a well oiled clockwork machine, on the midnight of the update day. Imagine my shock then, when I woke up this morning and realized that it was nearly nine o’clock with no new comic to be seen. I was relatively certain I hadn’t imagined scheduling the latest update, but, I’ve been known a time or two to hallucinate my own version of reality when it suits me.

So, I did a little digging (read: logged into the dashboard), and there sat the comic, in a scheduled state. So far, so good. Then I checked the scheduled date. July 28, 12:00am, 2018.

Now, a feature of this staggering level of virtuosity is well worth waiting an entire year for under any circumstance, as anyone would affirm. But I, being a man of supreme munificence, elected to make it available now. Enjoy another Chuckese strip.

I’ll be back a year from next monday.

:Dan

Molly gets in another one.  I assume this is a recurring facetious conversation.

I’ll be back Friday.
