***THIS JUST IN:***

Ahhh I got featured! :D I still elated and all shaky :) I didn't believe it'd happen. Deep down, I dreamed of it, but given my biweekly update schedule, I didn't think I stood a chance. So you can imagine my surprise! I still can't believe it. And I'm so happy to see my friends here with me today - and some new faces, too :) Thank you all for stopping by and for all the support - and to the Admins for noticing my little comic! :D I'm happy and humbled by all this! As a thank you to all of you there will be a new episode very soon, hopefully this week, so watch this space! :D

AND NOW BACK TO MY USUAL BIWEEKLY RANT ;)

A new page up earlier than usual! Go me! :D It's a splash page, and one with a very simple background at that, so it went MUCH faster. Took only two days to do. BUT it was a challenge nevertheless. To make one of my rodents look as realistically as I can… (I wonder if the theory Abt mentioned last time still applies…) I took it more seriously this time, too. I usually google all my reference photos. This time I took some pics of myself in different poses. I wanted to get the anatomy, the shadows and all the wrinkles on the fabrics right.

Fun fact: I have a t-shirt and pants just like Mick. Same colors :) However, I didn't model Mick's clothes after mine. I didn't have the t-shirt nor the pants back then. Back in May, when it all started, I was still in my All-Black stage that had been going on for the past ten years. Then one day I went shopping and thought: what the heck, time for a little change! So I bought myself blue jeans and a green t-shirt. And then the shopping frenzy began! ;) Though only now did I realize I need a red hoodie to look like Ryan. Oh and I would have to find my old converse sneakers!

But I digress…

So anyway… Thus ends chapter 4. For those worried about Mick - never fear, he'll be alright :) Bruised, with a black eye, possibly a bunch of fractures - but that never affects cartoons ;) So next time you see him, he'll be as good as new. And in case of any ambiguity here, that might have arisen from my previous rant - the different kind of story I'm going to give you next is not a new comic. Just a new chapter of the good ol' A Bit Cheesy :) With a little bow towards a different kind of narrative. A one-time experiment, that's all. A bit of fresh air.

I hope everyone got their comment incentive last time. There will be an incentive for this page, too - but I'll have to choose what to give you this time, and right now I'm brain dead :) And lazy :P But I'll get to it! I've also neglected all my favorite comics, haven't read any since xmas! :-O So, so, soooo sorry, guys! Long story, involving bacteria, weather changes and carbon dioxide. The bottom line is, I haven't forgotten any of you and I can't wait to catch up with all your comics!

See you next time!
