See, this is what happens when I actually follow the plan and draw the page that was always supposed to come next: I get distracted and it runs late and I have to post a half-finished page. Yeah, this what was SUPPOSED to happen at some point last week, but I kept pushing it back so I could draw more random background references… and I still found a way to slip some in this time anyway!

So, yeah, come back later for the finished draft (which will quite possibly have the background brick-a-brack changed around if I end up altering the panel shapes) or click RIGHT HERE for a new Voting Incentive comic right away!

Also, some advanced warning: it was announced yesterday that Project Wonderful, the ad service I’ve been using pretty much since my comics started, is shutting down in August. Don’t worry, this won’t turn into a plea for more Patreon money to offset that loss (though if you wanna donate anyway, don’t let me stop you ^___^ ), I always approached PW more as a means of putting ads on OTHER sites that happened to pay for itself than an actual source of income. That said, I’ll still have to set up something new in the near future, which means two things: One, the potential for even MORE distractions while I figure things out, and Two, me having to fiddle with the site layout to replace the old ad code with new stuff. The second is probably the more serious of the two, since me trying to do ANYTHING website related is a very dangerous thing. Just be aware that, if the site suddenly seems to have a stroke without warning over the next few weeks, it’s probably me trying and failing to set up a new ad box. Sorry in advance!

6/15 EDIT: Continuing with the theme of lateness, Conventional Wisdom stuff has me running even farther behind on Friday’s comic than the last one. HOWEVER, the new Voting Incentive is up on TWC, so you can at least go read that while you wait!!!

(Historical Notes: Wow, this is a fairly historic page for which to have the commentary preserved.  It took a lot linger than I anticipated, but eventually I DID end up filling the Project Wonderful-shaped void in my website layout with Comicad Network, which seems to be working out pretty well so far.  I mean, much like with PW, I don’t actually use it as a means of generating income so much as a means of putting ads on other sites that just so happens to pay for itself.  And it’s been pretty good for that.  As for comic-related commentary… Past Me teased that the background mess might have been different in the unfinished version of this page, but I’m to lazy to go dig up the original scans to see if anything actually changed.)
