Belated 2007 (Right sentiment, wrong year)
It has been approximately six months since I last posted. Sadly I'm pretty sure that's nowhere near the record for procrastination.

Published a comic online. Or, for that matter, ANYWHERE.

For three of my friends.

2# I'd like to thank you, for putting me back in my snail shell.
3# You took me by surprise, opened up my eyes, now we've got to talk this over. You know how it is, no matter what I did, we've got to talk this over.
and for me:
#4 Here I am, here I am, here I am, I'm back at the crossroads again, oh let me stand, let me stand, let me stand, on top of the mountain again.
