Okay, not only was I tripped out of my mind on cold medicine last night, but apparently Drunk Duck was having issues too. So, I’m just going to load this page over and over again and until it actually APPEARS here. Otherwise, just go to the forum, I’ve posted the new page over there too. Hey wow, I think I have had stumbled onto a way to get people to actual VISIT the forum! WOW!

Anyway, the guys standing around in the third panel are the Gumbies, as seen in numerous Monty Python skits like <a href=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M68GeL8PafE“>this one</a>. Why did I decide to slip them in? …I have no explanation, other than I’ve been thinking a little TOO hard about the comic lately, what with all the plot juggling and stuff. Without a ton of exposition to squeeze it, I just wanted to cut loose and have fun drawing this one… which somehow resulted in Monty Python references.

Also, Layla’s… unique expression in the last panel was much more fun to draw than it had any right to be.

So, just in case Drunk Duck can get its act together today. Otherwise, the page IS on the forum, so I can still brag about never having missed an update. SO THERE!!!

EDIT: SUCCESS!!! IT WORKS! Feel free to keep visiting the forum, though 😀

(Historical Notes: Oh, the irony.  The unbelievable irony.  This was one of the incidents that really, truly drove me to set up the SmackJeeves site as a mirror to the Drunk Duck one, and here we are moving again.  Actually, that’s not even the really ironic part.  No, the kneeslapper is that the post on the forum, the one to make up for Drunk Duck not displaying imagies, THAT no longer works thanks to Photobucket being Photobucket.  It’s just a blurry replacement image now.  But the Drunk Duck page?  That’s still up!  I think The Duck still has the same layout it did when I left, and at this point I honestly like it BETTER than the current SmackJeeves format.  Times are strange.)
