September 26th Comics

Secret Government Robots:

I wanted to differentiate between the story pages and single pages, so I’m going to use these little three-panel ones like the first few strips. They’re limiting, but I have no better ideas

Phone Guys:

Space Junk Hates Humanity

So the newspaper that has just gone out includes this article about some satellite that is coming acrashin’ to Earth soon, and there is a chance it will hit Canada (they say probably an ocean, but maybe Canada). If that thing hits me I demand some sort of holiday in my honor. A holiday that involves people throwing soft plastic toy satellites at one another.

It’s like September 19th, but with comics

Let’s get Phone Guys out of the way first this week:

I will not attempt to recreate the haiku, I am afraid. I could never recapture the moment and to attempt would just cheapen us all.

In other news, as my Halloween-time trip to NYC approaches, it becomes ever more apparent how much money I don’t have. I’m not going to not take the trip, obviously. But I am going to be suffering afterward (and a bit beforeward if I want to have money to spend…).

Such is the way of things.
