Thanks for reading.

1. I didn't start out planning to do this one in triangles. But I knew a followup on contemporary Guenevere's parents was due. And after trying to decide who would feed her the straightlines I decided on Eglante. The dilettante feminist in me was pretty proud while casting yesterday's of accomodating Bechdel's Law, until I went to draw it and I realized that any task I could draw two Chivalry Age women doing together would effectively negate any points scored under the Law. But then I realized I wanted the same cast today, for another talking heads gag. And I realized today isn't a Daily Grind day, with the rule against re-using art. And I realized it'd be a fun challenge to edit yesterday's cartoon to change the time zone. And I realized I could do that so that Guenevere and Eglante weren't doing something stereotypically female. 2. Every month I look at the pageview statistics for AKOTAS, including the referral pages. Someone over at TV Tropes likes me. Over many months I've noticed that there's often, among the top dozen or so referrals for the month, a page from TV Tropes linking to a pages here at AKOTAS as examples of the tv trope discussed on the page. For October there were three TV Tropes pages in the top referrals to AKOTAS: The one on energy weapons (that one I'd never seen before), the one on Cassandra prophets, and the "If You Ever Do Anything To Hurt Her" one.
