Far Out There

Okay, so that whole “catching a killer cold” thing got worse before it got better. It’s mostly under control at this point, pretty much downgraded to an obnoxious stuffy nose, but for a pretty good chunk of this week I was an achy feverish mess coughing huge globs of filth out of my chest… which you may be surprised to learn does NOT put one in the mood to draw funny pictures for the internet. Obviously, I was able to get today’s page done, but it was a reeeaaal slog, and I’m afraid it took all the attention my cold medicine-addled brain could muster, so there’s no new TWC Voting Incentive this time. It’s a lot better than just not having an update at all, but I was still really hoping to be past all this nonsense by this point.

Now if you’ll excuse me: between finishing this page, medicine messing with my head, and just not being able to breath through my nose, I’ve been awake for around 36 hours… This is exactly what needs to NOT be happening if I ever want to get better.

(Historical Notes: I know I already mentioned this in a previous page, and as long as the Wayback Machine actually captured it Past Me will be complaining about it later, but MAN I got sick of these pastels.  I thought about complaining that the previous couple of pages used too much color, but then I remembered the intense “Oh, not THIS again” reaction I had the second I opened this file up and realized it could always be worse.  Nothing against the colors Blue or Pink or even the general concept of pastels, I just used it WAY too many times in to close a proximity to each other.)
