Comic Late Today

Julia and I are closing on our new house tomorrow, so we've been pretty occupied with house-type activities. I will have to post this week's comic a little late. Sorry, and I hope everyone is having a great week!

Update: Sorry folks, the comic is taking longer than expected due to our move. We just got the Interweb working today, and it took us two days and higher math to move our sectional couch down the stairs. But our new place is amazing. You must come visit! Expect a new comic this week, within the next few days.

I Blame a Stupid Flash Game

Man it's been a long time since I've posted, and I apologize. Sure I've been busy - my work is always a handful, we're in the middle of purchasing a new home in Denver, and we've been actively searching out new experiences and adventures in the rocky mountain state.

But the biggest fritterer of my free time has to be the simple and bizarrely addictive online flash game, Desktop Towers of Defense. Now, I'm not much of a gamer. The last game I can remember playing is the ancient Warcraft II, and in general I avoid games that require ridonculous video cards and have anything resembling a learning curve.

But this game, in which you simply place defensive towers on a map to prevent monsters from reaching the other side, has me playing for hours on end. And boy does Julia hate it - you should see her eyes flash when she catches this on my laptop. And yes, so will your spouse if you get hooked, so don't say I didn't warn you!

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.
