Friday’s comic will be a slight diver­sion from our reg­u­lar comick­ing, as I will be trying my untrained hand at illus­tra­tion. You might call this a “filler strip”; I prefer the phrase “artistic experimentation”.

How­ever you care to refer to it: do not fret. It won’t be a per­ma­nent thing. It won’t even be a fre­quent thing. And rest assured, we will be back to our reg­u­larly sched­uled pro­gram­ming next Tuesday.
