So Leah's taking over the strip, I'm retiring TODAY! (HA! Kidding!)

Let’s all hear it for this week’s guest artist Leah Abrams!


Anywho Leah volunteered to step up with filling in for me this week as long as I helped with the writing. I know she also hoped to have this comic inked but she ran out of time. I sort-a sprung it on her last minute and she has lots of school work.
The current plan is to start the next Chapter (entitled "Six Months Later...") on Monday even though I have grouped this Guest Artist Week with that next Chapter. More news as we go!

Big thanks to Leah who muscled through severe allergy attacks and tons of homework to do this week for me!

So I put Aylee in a Sia wig because it made my wife laugh (and it covers her face). I'm not sure exactly how much of my audience can readily identify a Sia wig (maybe a lot? maybe a few?) but now I'm disturbed by how much Aylee looks like Agent N'aaaw. Thus Sia looks like Agent N'aaaw. I'm gonna have to think on that...

balthazar, I totally gave Gwynn rhinestone "beauty marks".

ANIMATED GIF:

Currently any animated gif comics have not been resized for the new archive due to it breaking the animation.

I can hardly believe I'm only going to be doing one more of these! But this is fitting for the next-to-last one.
It's the "Sluggy Freelance's 19th Anniversary" Animated Strip!
