Is it just that road, or what?

This comic is brought to you by Andy kicking his own ass to finish at the very last minute. I REALLY didn't want to work today, as I had a throbbing headache (allergies really got to me today, I hear there was pollen EVERYWHERE), and I took a nap at freakin' 9 PM after only doing the initial sketches. Which I COULD have just slapped text onto and put it up, but I've become more committed to my work, dammit.

Anyway, here's the new comic. I don't know why, but there's something incredibly funny about Simon's car getting a flat. It seems like such a generic problem, and for it to happen to him over and over again is hilarious. Which is even funnier when you consider that it's more likely to have engine trouble. And yet, it never does.

And I think by now you can all tell why I don't have Death carry a scythe, yes? I've never owned one, so it's shit to deal with the mechanics of the thing, let alone the DESIGN. Because yes, I want a traditional, functional farm scythe to be used… but I can't draw it for crap.

Luckily ol' Morty is too awesome for that.
