Sorry, I meant to post this yesterday, but the site was acting up. This was supposed to be another three-update week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday), but now that my plans have been foiled, I'm in a bad spot. I don't like to post on the weekends, but I may have to post on Saturday. That, or post on back-to-back days, which might leave people behind. Well, whatever whichever!

I mentioned earlier that there was a reason why this page wasn't left on the cutting room floor altogether, but it's sorta spoilery so…

Not a major spoiler but, just an insight into how I'm constructing this scene… It was important for foreshadowing type reasons to show that Wadsworth the butler bot is maniacally obsessed with cleaning. That seems like a small thing, but I had to get it in there, because it comes up again at the end of the scene in a big way, so I didn't want that to come completely out of the blue.

Also, Wadsworth is named after the butler in the movie adaptation of the murder mystery game Clue. That has nothing to do with anything.



The 2016 Drunk Duck Awards nominations have finally come in, and we managed to snag a respectable eight nominations, and I'm up for a user award for Most Obsessive Comic Creator – no wait, it's called Most Dedicated Creator. Cool either way! Mega thanks to everyone who voted, and here's Transneptunian's snazzy list of award nominations:



















Apparently, nobody got enough votes to earn a Best Antagonist nomination, which blows. I should have campaigned for Nina in that category. Oh well!

I'll keep you updated when the ceremony begins, so we can all find out who wins. Don't miss the suspense, the drama, the pageantry… well, all assuming we have enough judges and volunteers to make it happen… speaking of which…
