Schedule:

Tuesday – Sketch Day #5
Wednesday – Guest Comic part 1
Thursday – Sketch Day #6
Friday – Guest Comic #2
Saturday – Guest comic # 3
Next Wednesday – Normal comic resumes (or at least, heavens, I hope so.)

I’d like to thank Sage-chan in advance for her guest comics. It gives me the warm fuzzies to think that someone actually cares enough to spend time writing and drawing filler for me.

Hopefully, I’ll be able to get some work done while I’m in Illinois – but don’t get your hopes up. I’ll be at an airshow, “shadowing” my aunt at a PetCo, and quite possibly going to a cat show (yes, cats do it, too), in the midst of playing with dogs, guinea pigs, and birds and eating like a pig (you all know how it gets when your grandma is cooking). I’m bringing everything I’ll need…But who knows.

Thank you all in advance for bearing with the long delay on the comic. But hey, the various forms of filler may well be more interesting anyway… ^^U

Two things I will talk about today - first, the wonderfull life of a snake hobbyist during hatching season and second, Otakon! Yay for wierdness!

On snakes.. I'm not sure if anyones realized it yet, but I am an avid snake owner and breeder. With 8 permanent snakes, 8 hatchlings to be sold, and more posibly to come from the reptile show in a couple of weeks, people might think I'm a bit nuts. I don't care, however, because I'd only confirm it. To tell the truth, hatching season is both a inducer of stress and a stress reliever, however that works. I get worried over eggs not making it, how the babies are doing inside them, what colors I'll get, is the temperature right, is the humidity to high or to low, ect.. And yet, after two months of that torture, hatching day arrives and I see a kawaii little nose poking out at me from an egg, flicking its tongue out and wondering if I'm going to eat it. Aaaah! its absolutely wonderfull! Knowing that all that time and effort paid off and you have a good healthy hatchling. Of course, after that the real work begins, but its still a wonderfull thing.

Now for subject number two, and far more relevant then my slithery rant above, is my talk of upcoming otakon! Haha, ph34r my L33^ comic pimping skillz, for I shall attack con goers and force pencils and flyers on their unsuspecting mortal lives! And before you ask, yes I'm rabid, and no thats not whipping cream thats making me foam at the mouth. I think I'm going to stalk people while there, and my friends ph34r me when I'm in stalking mode. But most importantly, I must meet Fred and the rest of MT's crew! And this might be the last time I get to party with friends before I have to move across country, so I need to make it count. All in all, this is going to be one fun gig. To all who are going, see you there. To those who are not, we'll be thinking about how much more fun it would be if you'd been there too. Untill we meet again, yo =D
