OK, so I thought I had these two weeks taken care of, content-wise. I traveled a lot this holiday season and made sure I would be home for a few days before the 1st so I could rustle up some content for the last three days of my vacation. What I didnt count on was being so wiped out. Ive barely emailed or called anybody since I got home, so I havent arranged any guests for the last three days. *Shrug* so I guess youll all have to put up with some quick doodles from yours truly! See ya on the 5th!

So I was at a relatives house for thanksgiving keeping oven-watch over the turkey while sketching. One of my nieces watching a show called School Rumble. I have no idea what the anime was about but the 30 seconds of the episode I saw seemed to be composed of vapid girls in bathing suits at the beach and brainless guys staring at them and fainting. Anywho it inspired me to do todays sketch of Zoë and Gwynn, and seemed a fitting cap to the week of Sams return.

OK so I saw Watchmen today. And LOVED it! Id advise this, though. Dont see it until you read the graphic novel.

This is technically only half the comic I intended for today, but my work-speed was grinding to a halt and I was burning out. So I apologize that this is only half the intended comic. I dont think this is a good solution, only better than running a filler comic mid-fall.

On “Sami” and “Urch”: Congratulations to Samantha and “Person Known Only As Urchin!” Samantha won our Dragon*Con SBG Sluggy Cameo contest in 2007 and it's taken THIS LONG for me to figure out a glorious way to kill her off. Similar to Thalia and Clint, Samantha wanted to gift the cameo to her friend Urchin and I decided (with her permission) I'd cameo them both. Wait a minute! They're not dead yet! Maybe in a twist they'll survive! Tune in tomorrow to find out!

The original version of the strip had the fish in the last panel singing “Swimming, swimming, keep on swimming, keep on swimming…” But I thought even if you’ve SEEN “Finding Nemo” you still might not get it. And no, the fish is not a reoccurring sentient new character. If fact, if I wasn’t racing the clock (and losing), I might have cut the last panel completely. Anywho, congratulations again to our cameo winners, and happy Friday the 13th everybody!

This crappy sketch art has nothing to do with the current story. Let me explain. Oh Noes! OK I screwed up. I didnt get back to the guys of of Chain Bear in enough time to secure tonights art. Luckily I had filler art from the Sometime in the Recent Past Week(s) story that I didnt run. Some of you might remember that the Sunday of the first week arrived three hours late. I was so far behind I was going to run this sketch and suggest Id do double duty later. (Doesnt that take some of you old school Sluggites back? Sunday on Monday and Two for Tuesday Catch-up?) But I realized I couldnt do it. I couldnt run filler during filler. That would be like reinforcements calling in reinforcements. That's just silly. So anywho here you are!

Gene sent me the original art which is framed proudly in my office. Thanks Gene!
