I keep wanting to have Philip Freeman turn out to be a humorously incompetent tree-themed supervillain or tree-obsessed mad scientis or SOMETHING to make him easier to work into non-Christmas comics. I’ve yet to get around to it, sadly.

And speaking of getting around to things, there should hopefully be a new Voting Incentive up by the time you read this… but I’m writing this about a week in advance, so there’s no telling how busy with holiday crap things will be by they. But hopefully SOMETHING will be up.

…AND WHEN THE HECK WILL I STOP TEASING THE MYSTERY OF TABITHA’S MOM LIKE IT’S NOT EVEN A THING?!?!?!?

EDIT: Ichabod looks confused cos he’s not sure what’s up with that black line in the first panel. I have NO idea where that came from. It’s sure not in the original file.

(Historical Notes: Well, I cleaned up that line Past Me was wondering about, so I could probably just delete that last line… but I’m leaving it in, because that line absolutely WAS in the original file.  I have no idea where Past Me is getting that “oh, where’s it come from, it’s a mystery!” bit.  It was obviously an artifact from the edge of the scan for the second panel’s art that I forgot to clean up.  Ain’t nothing mysterious about that, aside from the mystery of why Past Me didn’t go back to fix it before now.)
