D'aww.

"But Mr. Artist Guy, it's too early for snow!"
Hey. It snowed yesterday. It only lasted for about a half hour before turning into sleet, but it was SNOW, dammit! And one year when I lived in upstate New York, it was snowing on Halloween! I slipped and fell on the ice when trick-or-treating! It hurt, but it was hilarious.

Anyway, sorry for the delay, I'll blame turkey instead of lethargy this week. I'm working out an idea for next week's comics before it gets too late.

Question! What year are students more likely to join a football team? Sophomore or Junior year? I know absolutely nothing about the sport, and I don't even know if it's still football season in high school, but I really want to provide some semblance of character development for people other than Gary. Also, I need a reason to give Gary's dad a bit in the story.

This will be followed by a continuation of the Golem arc, followed by… uh… let's say a week of one comic, so I can get prepared for Christmas?

All I know is, I have a year's worth of stuff that I need to plan out, at least in rough outline. Luckily the spring is ready, but the first two months are not, which is a problem.
