New Comic Tomorrow

National Free Comic Book Day was yesterday - hopefully some of you got a free comic book. Unfortunately I totally forgot about this important day until today; yesterday I was busy drinking beer in celebration of Cinco de Mayo, serious stuff here in Denver.

Amazingly I am still sick, though I have been feeling better over the last couple of days. I haven't felt well enough to post a comic last week as I thought I'd be able to do, but I will post as normal tomorrow. Hurray!

Been Sick, Thus Another Delay

I came down with some sort of evil flu and fever during the week, and it hasn't let go yet. That didn't stop Julia and me from trying frisbee golf for the first time today with a couple of our friends (the weather has been gorgeous here in Denver), but nontheless I feel pretty awful. Trying to sit down and cartoon just didn't work, so I must apologize and promise a new strip sometime early this week.

Comic Late Today

Today's comic will have to wait until after I get back from work this evening. We had an action-packed weekend, touring the local Denver bars, celebrating a friend's birthday, seeing an amazing show by Brazilian Girls on Saturday, and just returning from a Decemberists show tonight. Denver rules, but I need to catch my breath, whew.

Apologies

For the handful of you who regularly visit my comic, I apologize that a new strip hasn't been posted in a couple weeks. I've been very busy with work and travels for the last few weeks, and now I'm hacking and sniffling through a cold (and got Julia sick in the process). I will definitely get the comic back on track next Monday!

Meanwhile, Julia and I have set up a new blog about our new lives in Denver. She has posted our first entry, and we plan to keep it updated regularly once our lives get less hectic. Thanks again to all of our friends, family, and readers.

We made it to Denver!

Julia and I survived the cold, hazardous, four day trek from Gainesville, Florida to Denver, Colorado; me driving a 16' moving truck and dragging a car behind, and Julia shuttling a couple of (understandably) grumpy, mewling kitties in her car. You can view a camera-phone pictography of our journey in the photo album. There is a lot to say about our moving adventure, and we might have to start up a separate blog to chronicle our new lives in Denver.

But, for now I'll just say that Denver is everything we'd hoped for. There are tons of great places to eat, the public transportation system rocks (I can take the bus from my doorstep straight to the front of the building where I work), the downtown is lively and full of character, the microbreweries are ubiquitous and excellent, and the people are some of the friendliest you'll ever meet. As our cable guy said, "Denver is America's best kept secret". If only it weren't so damn cold all of the time... (and for those dear to us who we left behind, we miss you!)

Hector is a Cat

Apparently there has been some misunderstanding in my office, where The Remonstrance is read with a mixture of disgust, confusion, and indifference on a weekly basis. One of my officemates assumed that Hector was a dog, and he was surprised to hear me describe him as a cat.

Looking back on my catalog of exquisite artwork, I cannot possibly see how anyone could mistake Hector to be anything but the extremely rare male variety of diluted tortie feline that he was designed to be. Sheesh.
