Today's comic proved to be a little complicated in terms of art, so it'll be delayed until Friday. Please enjoy some season-appropriate art as a mea culpa.

A classicly-designed vampire is reading a book entitled "History of Europe, Part I". He is amused by the contents, saying "Hah! I don't remember it happening quite like that!"

I really don't like missing two posting days in a row. Sadly, that's what's happening today thanks to a combination of lots of work and a frazzled mind. Mea culpa.

I intend to buckle down for Friday, though, and get things back in order. See you then!

Heya folks! Sorry for the hits and misses in the schedule. Had a bit of writers and researchers block. There'll be a new comic up tomorrow though, so stay tuned!
