435 – “They all had two of ’em, I think.”

Ah, the best laid plans...

I had planned to return to producing 3 strips a week as of last week; then I and the rest of my family all contracted the stomach virus from hell. Did it hit us all on the same day? Noooo, that would have been somewhat merciful; two days of misery for everyone, then - bam! - DONE. No, we started off with one daughter throwing up for over 5 hours starting at 11:00PM. This lasted two days; then the next child for two more days, then me; I lost an entire day staying in bed. Then lastly my wife who, despite being tougher than me, got smacked upside the head by this thing. Everyone's good now, though. Yeesh.

Take care,

~Rob

  1. Copy the thieves guild of Ank Morpork. Catch one of these thieves nail his ears to his knees and run him up a flag pole. A bit brutal, but once word gets out, not as may shake down attempts.

  2. I agree with Benton. Having the flu or anything flu-like during summer is much worse than in the winter.
    Blue did a credible job of describing non-descript NPC’s, IMHO.

  3. Just caught Vorpal t-rexed out front of the shop!!! TOO FUNNY!!! Very sorry to hear about the Trials and Tribulations at your house. No fun AT ALL!!!!!

  4. I also caught the Cosmic Cube there in panel four. Interesting that the Texas coffee cup is getting more mentions.

    (For an obscure reference, shouldn’t it say “World’s Greatest Dad”?)
