Salt & Battery Comics

Phew! It’s been a long week filled with coding, crying, and cursing, but I’ve finally started to get the new comic software to do what I want it to do. It’s not perfect yet, and I’ve got a nice long to-do list, but at least it’s functional enough to work with both series of Salt & Battery. I had originally been planning on finishing today’s comic yesterday (what? ahead of time?) but between more coding, buying a bed, and entertaining guests there wasn’t really enough time to get it done. Today, my backup comic day, was eaten up piece by piece first by moving furniture around to get ready for the arrival of the new bed (and to relocate the old one to the spare bedroom), then by being dragged around town running errands and buying things like bed skirts and bed frames, and finally by the awful mess left in the wake of this aftermath which still needs to be cleaned up.

I’m sure I could find some sort of comic inspiration in all of this if I weren’t so damn exhausted. Fortunately I’ve got some good strips brewing up for you in the next few weeks – it’s just a matter of finding time to draw them. =/

Newbie knows you have a treat for him

As you may have guessed by now, there won’t be a new comic up tonight. Rather than get in the habit of postponing comics a day or two and getting off schedule, I’m just going to count this one out and get ready for Wednesday’s post.

So instead of a comic tonight, I present to you this photo I just took of Newbie, one of my pet rats:
