Here's the page, and a peek at part of what went wrong.
I'm also adding a picture of Percy giving you a special lucky Friday the 13th blep. (Science!) He's an extremely lucky boy and rules the house, so you know the good luck he's sending out to you is quality stuff.

Hey!
So I'm feeling gross, and Phil is distracted, and we both missed a mistake in the page that was supposed to go up tonight. That made it not...easy to script the page, and everything just kind of went to Hell, so here's a drawing Phil did in case something like this happened.

I'm home, but I don't feel good. I've been reading the entire run of Princess Jellyfish manga while I recover.
Cheyenne hasn't sent the colors in yet...so here's Monday's page in BW without the sound effect, and I'll get the rest up when I can.
For now, I'm going to go get some sleep!...

Woohoo! Friday's page! I didn't think I'd get it done in time. Now, colors may or may not be posted on time, depending on how I'm feeling, but Cheyenne will be working on them while I'm in the hospital, and at least the line art will go up on time.
Thanks, everyone! Wish me luck!

Hey, I'm officially Covid-free! Nice to know.
Here's Wednesday's page, later than I'd like because I've been distracted and also because the word balloons for the rude mechanicals are a NUISANCE.
And my fonts have started behaving strangely, something I'll look into later when I have ...

I had a Covid test today! I'm pretty sure I'm clean, but the surgeons like to make sure before they start busting out the scalpels.
I'm running around trying to get all sorts of things done before I go in for surgery since I'm not sure how great I'm going to feel afterward. I fear we may wi...

Well. This was cutting it close. Phil finished this about an hour ago. He's still cleaning the art and hasn't even sent it to Cheyenne yet. This is fine, because Cheyenne is coloring the special story for the GURPS book so he still had something to do while we messed around with this page.

Now the cats don't want to use the upstairs litter box because the new toilet is scary.
At least, I am guessing that's what's going on, they aren't talking.

I spent all of today installing a fancy Japanese toilet seat that does everything but sing to me. That's ok, I'll sing to it instead, I love it that much.
There were challenges, but I only had to make one trip to the hardware store, where the guy told me that the coupler I was hoping ...

Oof! I can't get my head on straight today, everything feels wrong and slow. I didn't get the page lettered early this time, so here it is in all its final glory!
I'm probably just reeling because our youngest child just turned 18. That went by...quickly.
See you Monday, everyone!

Also, Colette appears to be large.

This is the first part of a double-spread, but Phil isn't done with the second half. I didn't get the pencils posted because I had some medical stuff yesterday and I was really tired, so I flat-out forgot. Sorry about that! I'll post the second part as soon as it's done!

We're surviving the Northwest US heat wave, I hope everyone else affected is doing ok as well. I know this is hard for a lot of people. Me, I'm just really feeling worn out, which is pretty normal for me when it gets hot. I am pining for the fjords.

Phil is playing Borderlands 2 in my office. He's doing a quest where you have to listen to Grandma Flexington talk to you for...I don't know, ten to fifteen minutes? And they make you answer questions, so you can't just wander off and get a sandwich.
