Whew. So much for my weekend of getting things mega-done.

Ah, well. I'll work on it later.

So, I'm considering giving Gary a surname for next week's comics, but I think it's more fun not knowing. That way I can keep making "That's not my name" jokes, and you can keep speculating as to what his last name actually is.

Not sure how that'll affect school photos, however.

I have considered, at least, that he is likely descended from a historically known alchemist. Just not sure which, as I'd like it to be someone who hasn't been used massively in fiction, and wouldn't stand out right away as a name in alchemy.

Ah, well. Maybe it'd just be a name that was lost with his grandmother or something.

In other news… I really need a life. This whole "Everybody but me having lives" thing is getting to me, and is leaving me with no one to talk to. It makes me lonely.
