And look! There's even something going on on this page! Not just yakkity-yakkin' and stuff.

Thanks for sticking around so far, folks. Still got a pretty substantial chunk of story to go. And things look to be heating up in Drytown, so buckle in.

I just realized that Collins' riding coat got ripped in the first chapter and it got patched sometime along the way.  You can see it real clear in panel 3.

I'd try to work up something exciting for the 100th page, but everytime I've tried to, real life has reached up and smacked me in the face.  That doesn't mean you shouldn't keep your eyes peeled, though.

Back on Wednesday.

Wonder how long the residents of Drytown are going to let this makeover continue, anyways?

Remember kids, in real life, TNT is not to be enjoyed like a fine cigar.

That's just this week, folks.  Should be back on schedule for Halloween week.  Geez, Halloween already.

Huh. Wonder what that's all about, then?

Back on Wednesday, APE posting may be up before then, but other work may supersede it.

2. I'll still be appearing at APE this weekend. And the Highway 62 compound will feature a special guest in the form of Alex Sheikman, author and illustrator of ROBOTIKA, put out by Archaia Studios Press. His book will be prettier than mine. And hardcover. And in color. Tough to compete with competition like that. But I'll be doing Five Minute Stories and he'll just be doing garden variety sketches. Take that, Alex! Anyways, hope to see some of you there. I know that JK Parkin (Robot6 High Overlord, or Co-High Overlord, depending on who you ask) will be at the show as well. Bet he'll sign your laptop if you leave the browser window open to R6.

3. I turn really old tomorrow. No, older than that. Like so old that this issue of FANTASTIC FOUR came out the month I was born.

4. Turns out that having children ages you prematurely. Who knew?

No funny caption today, though I can think of a few.

Getting ready for the upcoming APE show in SF in five short days from now.  Hopefully the inbound torrential rain won't wash the town away.  Be sure to stop by and say hello, and maybe get yourself a fancy Five Minute Story for your trouble.  Oh, and a look at upcoming chapters of THE THIRSTY, should that tickle your fancy.  See you then!

Guest starring, apparently, Warren Ellis this week.  Panel 4 in particular.  And no, I didn't plan that at all.

I mean, I've never even seen Mr. Ellis in a cowboy hat.  Well, maybe that one time in San Diego...

As for the rest of you reprobates, here's the newest page:

So maybe Joachim isn't out of the fight yet.  But whose side will he end up on?
