Thanks for reading.
This cartoon was originally scheduled to run yesterday, and yesterday's today.
But I botched the running order. See, I decided early this week that, when
I'm turning out so many last-minute filler or sketch cartoons these days, it
might be better to go back to instituting a buffer, as I haven't done (except
for special occasions like out-of-town trips) since the very, very earliest days of AKOTAS.
Then, working ahead, I scripted this gag to follow immediately after
Wednesday's. Then I forgot to draw it until I'd updated for yesterday with
the gag that was scripted for today. If you were thinking this one would have
been better to come before yesterday's, well, no argument from me.
Nevertheless, for a few days now I've taken advantage of Malory having outlined my next week or three for me, and I've been scripting and drawing two cartoons a day instead of just one. Before Gareth's quest is over, I hope and plan to have a buffer that would make Howard Tayler comfortable. And then I hope and plan to keep on drawing one or two a day for the indefinite future. That'll give me breathing room for the bad days and the busy days, which seem to come more often now than in the early years. |
