Shiera goes out in style. Is she trying to confuse the kids into thinking she's now Mrs. Tiger? :P
Completely tangentially, this is dredging up a bizarre memory of the final Richard O'Brien-era Crystal Maze episode where they closed the show by riding off on a chopper.
Oh! One other exciting thing. The first prototype of the new Swords and Sausages book arri...

Who could have foretold Tor's children's book would be the final straw breaking the lioness's back?
Times have changed, but when I was growing up, some kid's parent will occasionally stop by and sit in on the class. I can only imagine (after being told a couple anecdotes) the kind of chaos that would ensue if they were allowed to do this today.

Tor's view of the world is rather fuzzy right now. And maybe that's just the spell to make him go "Moww" X3
In S&S book-printing news, the masters have been sent off to two printers for a test run. I expect to receive the samples in a week or two.

The book is almost ready to head to the printers! With your help, I'd like to get some numbers for the print run to make sure there are enough copies for everyone.
The softcover book contains 248 (!) pages in full color, and is A4 (297mm*210mm or 11.7in*8.3in) in size.
The book will cost $39.95 USD. I really wish it didn't have to b...

Here it is! The final item for the book! \o/
Everyone, please check through this and let me know if your character requires any color tweaks/name fixes/etc. in the comments below. The book printing process will commence soon, so please submit your feedback by Thursday this week (15-Feb)!

Non-verbal communication is still communication :P Now, where's that spray bottle?
As for the "June box", that's where all the distracting items are confiscated, for the students to retrieve at the end of the school year. Except my family moved in the middle of the term, so my roll of scotch tape was forever abandoned in Mr. Norman's classroom >:( (The school building was demolished last year.) (And yes, the "J" was stuck on backwards.)

Angery dergon! Here's the wraparound cover for the book and the sketch of the idea.

Edit: added version without the text. Also in RGB mode instead of CMYK, so suitable for computer screens :3

Here are the comics for the rest of the year ^^
AMA #175: I'd say, whichever support request that keeps the higher-ups from firing you gets priority. Sorry, Jessie, you'll have to remain nekkid until the next service call :B
AMA #176: 8 out of 10 diners agreed the explosive recipe was much more palatable without the skunk cabbage sides. 2 out of 10 diners preferred to be traditional, though. What's your favorite old-timey meal that has seemingly gone out of fashion?
Meanwhile, back in the waiting room... my characters revolt!
... Does anyone want to adopt a mountain lion and a winged malamute? :P
This comic goes up on the 10th anniversary of Nine to Nine. Thanks for reading! ^o^

In hindsight, letting the beer line run loose near the cheese-rolling race was not a good idea. The baguette duels, however, introduced a new category of budget-conscious weapons for the city's defense force and was a boon for the local bakery.
If you haven't heard of the cheese rolling race that takes place annually in Gloucester, England, you gotta look it up!
Today's cameos: Oleg, Sperkle, Gohan, Sartharina, Labris, Mars, Tyro, Madcat, and Nixie.
