Bah.

Sorry about the delay - when I actually wanted to update, the servers wouldn't let me update. Hooray, you get yours 19 hours late.

So, today you also get a comic drawn completely freestyle. Congratulations, now you get to see why I copypaste unless the characters move a lot.

My mom would often tell me - and still does every now and again - that if I'd looked up every now and again during high school, I would have probably noticed other girls other than HER. I'd find a good retort, but all I really have is, "Oh yeah? Well I have nothing to show for my efforts!"

And it all falls apart there.

So yeah, strictly speaking, Gary's right - Christmas events should fall under "Separation of Church and State." But… well, it was either this or I scramble for a different idea next week, while I push that storyline up to this week. Just seems wrong.

Clothing tidbits: I finally figured out Gary's alchemy planetary shirts. I was having difficulty with what colors would match each planet and their respective metals, but I think I have it just about figured out. If Jupiter doesn't have a grayish blue seen here (which incidentally is the same color as his jacket), then it's probably violet. I'll uh… I'll work on that.

As for Dan's shirt, I'm sure you're wondering, "Hey, why's he wearing a polo shirt under that white long-sleeved shirt?" Well, I figure he got it in Florida. It's red with a green Christmas tree, though I don't know how many Floridians know what a Christmas tree looks like.

I kid, I kid. Florida's a great state. Frickin' beautiful too (when it's not hurricane season).
