Okay, it's pretty obvious at this point that something's up. Here's the deal. Everybody (who pays really close attention to this blogginator and has a really good memory) knows that I work at a certain panda-themed chinese restaurant. What you might not know is that I ALSO do work for the psychology department at my college, creating drawings to be used as prompts in language experiments.

Currently, I am working on my biggest work order ever, for which I will be paid the most money ever. This is what has been eating up the majority of my free time, and why the part of my brain that draws has been too exhausted to make comics for you guys in a timely manner.

The bad news is that I'm just over halfway done. The good news is that the deadline for these is just over a week away, and that I'm learning to budget my time better. So after that things should be back to normal around here. That will be especially nice because I want to start updating on Wednesdays. That's right, three comics a week... perfect for another delve into continuity. We might find out what happened with that girl that Billy liked, or maybe I could further mock this latest travesty.
Ah, but I say too much.

The movie recommendation for this week is Zathura, I saw it and it was freakin' sweet. To me the best thing about this movie is also the worst: the characterization is very realistic. The kids are bratty like a six and ten year old, about as smart as a six and ten year old, and swear about as much as a six and ten year old would realistically swear. (Which is more than you would expect in a PG movie.) The downside to this, as Ari and Jo pointed out, is that little kids can sometimes be annoying when they're bratty and dumb. But hopefully if you go in expecting a realistic performance then it should be easy to enjoy the ride, and an awesome ride it is. Anyway, I'd better stop talking before this turns into a Russian novel. -Lars
