Arthur, King of Time and Space

6/28/08

  1. As expected, the judges of the Daily Grind contest have ruled that I'm out on grounds of violation of the single-panel rule.
  2. Today's is the 1500th daily AKOTAS since it began. It almost wasn't. At 16:55 CDT yesterday I sat down to create this cartoon, and a storm came through my town and knocked power out in scattered areas all over the city, including our townhouse complex. My wife and I fell back on the ancient and honored method for passing time of reading a book, for about an hour and a half. Then we decided that going to see whether there was still power at the restaurant hosting my 30th high school reunion get-together was better than sitting at home waiting to see when the power would come back on. The restaurant did have power. We enjoyed ourselves, but we heard while we were there that there's at least one section of the city that may be without power for four or five days, and on the way back from the restaurant all the traffic lights that had been dead on our way out were still dead. We got home about 22:30. If we hadn't had any power, this cartoon would have to have waited to be completed and uploaded as much as fourteen to sixteen hours later than usual, till I'd got to a public library. But we did discover that power was back on - since, according to the lapsed time on the stove clock, about forty-five minutes before we got home. So here we are.
