22-3: P.E. Really Sucks

No bubbles right now. I'll tell you why.

My mom went to North Carolina, likely for the weekend. To get a job there.

…I just MOVED from North Carolina.

So, here I am, really eager to do other things (horror films and Doctor Who), but not only do I now have to juggle these with comic duties (for TWO), but now I have to deal with my mom's stupid, moronic, chew-everything, know-nothing, never-listening, trained but still absent-minded dog.

So about five times each night, I have to take him outside in an attempt to get him to go to the bathroom. And when he just stares off into space for five minutes, looking for something that's not there because he heard something as he was JUST. ABOUT. TO GO. I can't help but drag him back upstairs, throw him in the crate, and ignore his whines as I try to actually get this comic done ON TIME.

Or, at least a day after its deadline. Congrats, we're probably at a new frickin' record for Gary the Alchemist.

So. Running gag here, nobody seems to know Gary's actual name. I'd actually considered ensuring that we NEVER know his last name. I'm not sure if I'll stick to that, all I know is that I'll probably give everybody else last names.

New character. His coach. He uh… I don't have a name for him yet. Feel free to make something up.

Sketchy sort of look in the last panel, 'cuz I had an hour to go and nothing in that last panel - and I sketched it out on the wrong layer. To make matters worse, as I started tracing over… I DREW IT ON THAT SAME WRONG LAYER!

I'm having a bad night, forgive the suckiness. ._.
