And now for something completely different! (Don't worry guys, we'll catch up with Jasper soon.) Here's a last minute announcement: My online shop will be closed from December 22nd to January 4th while I am in New York! While you can still place orders, I will not be able to ship anything out until I return. If you live in the US and would like to order something in time for Christmas, please order today (Monday) by about . . . uh, 6pm PST, thereabouts? If you live outside of the US you are welcome to order stuff too, of course, and I will have it shipped out, but international shipping times apply! (I've also heard that mail can be slower during the holidays, so domestic packages may be delayed as well? I'm not actually sure. But I'll send them off on time anyway.) Y'know, I draw these pages about a month before posting them and write the scripts several months before that, so it's hard for the content in any particular page to be anything close to topical. But last week's page turned out to be a bit topical for me, in that I could point to any of Jasper's expressions on that page and say, "Same." It was just one of those weeks, I suppose. I'm looking back on it right now with a mix of exhaustion and relief, hoping that it is, indeed over--but then again, I'm about to subject myself to a near-midnight screening of Star Wars and then attempt to have a (desperately needed) normal and productive day at work right afterwards, so I may be setting myself up for failure. Future Me will let you know how it goes.
