I'm back...

I'm not sure if it's time for joyous celebration or time for me to hide from the mob, but I'm officially back from my extended break from the comic for the summer. A lot has happened since then and I'm far from settled in, but I'm going to try and keep the comic going whenever I can. So, for those who are curious, here's the lowdown on my absence...

Of the last four months, two of them were spent in hectic transition and two were spent in the wilderness far away from an intarweb connection of any kind. In May, I moved back to Oregon from Spokane, WA for the summer. Most of my time the next month was eaten up by helping get ready for the weddings of my brother and one of my best friends from high school. In the middle of June, I went back to work as a camp counselor at a tiny little place called Camp Tadmor. After that finished in August, I loaded my life up in the backseat of a 91' Dodge Spirit and drove to my new home at Liberty University in Lychburg, VA. It's taken me a while to settle in, but things are starting to normalize for now (until I get a job, that is).

It's kinda weird living in the South. Where I'm from you'd get the crap beat up for you for driving a truck plastered in Confederate flags and a bummer sticker that says "The South Shall Rise Again". Also, I swallowed my Oregonian pride and bought an umbrella. This may seem weird to other people, but in Oregon the majority of us don't use umbrellas depsite the fact that we have very consistent rainy seasons. We generally just don't care how wet we get. Why, then, did I buy an umbrella? Allow me to illustrate the situation...

Anyways, back to the comic, you might have noticed a couple comics missing from the archives. That's because I'm putting that story on hold in favor of this one because I want to do this story while the election is still going on. Besides, I think this one will be funnier anyways.

Well, the longer I rant, the longer it is until the page is updated, so I guess I'll stop now. Stop in the forum and leave some comments.
