Kristen Gudsnuk onA NEW PAGE! Okay, to address the concerns of why the ground is cracked: there's a layer of ice on the walkway (this happens to my walkway in the winter after a snowstorm, I swear!) So the ICE is cracked, not the floor.
Ooh I like Jadwiga's face in panel 3. for some reason she looks like Eli from Let The Right One In.
HM! news! I GOT A CAR!!!! I have to get it registered or whatever this weekend- I have to get the DMV to put license plates on it! and I have to get insurance… erghh… everyone wants me to get 'collision', which costs an extra $600 a year, and I am like SO not for it. D: but I might have to do it to appease the 'rents. I also have to get the money together to pay the girl. It ended up being $2000. Luckily I have a nest-egg of about that much in a special savings account, so I don't have to use my checking/savings money.
Also this Friday's PAYDAY woo. $380 more! a drop in the bucket… or whatever the expression is. Actually, if I REALLY think about it- I have very,very few expenses– I never eat lunch at work, I don't buy coffee, I don't have health insurance, I don't pay rent, and I'm not going to 'finance' my car and all that. So really I only need gas money (at most $50 a week?) and car insurance money (something like $150 a month?). So even though I don't have a very high-paying job, by virtue of being a total bum, I save lots of money.
Wow, I'm a'ramblin. K thanks guys for reading my comic! Hey I'm in the top 50 now!! (for comic stories.) OK I cheated; I got ads on project wonderful!! But HEY it's not really cheating- it's not like I held down F5 for five minutes straight or anything! (that immediately sounds suspicious. LOL! For real!!!!)
ok, I'll have the next page sometime this weekend- tomorrow? the day after? SEE YA!

I was pretty much forced to have life insurance. If I live a healthy life, I get the money back when I'm 50, or the money is used to help me.
To be honest, I thought I was cheating the system by exiting Firefox when I was at my stat page (I have it set so it will start on the page that I left) and it always seemed to help me. I've been wrong, but I thought I was right when I was hitting record highs. You're intriguing me to hit F5…..
OH BTW: Awesome page ohmygosh! D:

Now, sensible people would call the authorities to take care of the body. Then again, I guess the "authorities" are not a particularly judicious lot. And best case scenario would land these two in a decrepit orphanage of some sort.
Congrats on the car.
