Three days of no internet. Three days of delayed strips. That sucks. You go out of your way to do a little something extra, and life throws you a curve.

I finally talked to someone at my internet provider and he thinks the Ethernet modem I’m using has gone bad. He thinks it’s possible my satellite could have taken a charge and fed it directly to the modem and fried it. Is this even possible? Wouldn’t a surge fry everything and not one specific component? Has anyone ever heard of this?

Regardless, I’m off to buy another modem this afternoon. It’s a little out of my way, but it’s cheaper than the $95 house call they could end up making just to tell me my monitor wasn’t plugged in (or something equally lame). Hopefully I’ll be up and running next week.

Enough about that.

I hope you enjoyed a week full of new strips. I had a lot of fun developing the storyline. It was a lot of work, but I think it was worth it. Anybody who is doing 5 strips a week (and you’ve already got a full-time job) kudos to you.

Not to guilt you, but here’s a list of things I had to sacrifice in order to produce a week full of strips:

1. Kingdom Hearts – Halloween Town is waiting!
2. Cami’s patience – Nothing new here
3. Sleep – Overrated

Oh, well. I guess things aren’t that bad.

For those who like to be in the know, this is the first time I’ve drawn the characters in Theater Hopper with feet! This is a very special occasion because now I have fully-rendered characters! I thought it appropriate to cap the week with something I’ve never done before, so there you go!

Didn’t know we rocked the Chuck Taylor All-Stars, did you? Well, we do.

I’d like to write more, but I think I’d better wrap it up. Thanks again for all your support! Since starting this campaign we’ve gone from a 5,500 unique hits to a little over 6,100. That’s 600 unique hits a week and it blow my tiny, little mind. I can’t tell you how awesome that is, so thank you.

Have a great weekend!

Who wants to see some dumb foreign film anyway?

Tom! What are you doing here? That jerk with the pony tail wouldn't let me in.

Don't sweat it. I've got you covered.

Hey, Ian. My buddy Tom is outside and wants to see the movie. Is it cool as long as he stays with me?

Certainly! But he will have to sit in our "special section."

Dude what does that sign say? Is it some kind of instrument?

Shh! I can't talk to you!
