I’m going to blame this on on thedeadlyhook. Yeah, that’s the ticket…
The Slayer gig imparted many valuable life lessons. Such as “Pre-treat the bloodstains immediately,” and “If at first you don’t succeed, get a bazooka.” It also gave you a heightened appreciation of the quiet moments, i.e. the ones where a sword […]

I let Sam sleep inside last night in an excess of guilt, and it was probably was for the best since in the wake of the fireworks, we had a thunderstorm. The monsoon is here! And we actually got rain! I slept through all of it, but when I got up, the […]

She can tell from the furtive don’t-tell-your-Mum winks and nudges he’s exchanging with the kids, the way Bill’s eyes light up and Connie bounces. When it gets dark he’s […]
Somehow or other I’ve ended up on six panels. Four of which are on Sunday. You guys are going to be SO sick of me…

Shadow has had her Penrose drain removed and is more or less back to her grouchy old self, after a brief moment of excitement on Friday when we thought she’d pulled it out untimely. (She hadn’t.)
