I used to hesitate to do a page like this. Filling empty space with words is most of my job, but sometimes silence can say more. Of course different people will take away different meanings from this moment. A creator has to relinquish their creation to the audience though and let it become theirs to interpret. Early on that was something I didn’t understand quite the same way as I do now. Now I know to just say what I say with my work and try not to color it for the observer unless I’m absolutely compelled to do so.

Anyway, I don’t have anything much to say. I need to get some patreon stuff out before midnight and, as usual I left it to the literal last minutes. At this point I think the bulk of the support there just wants the comic to keep going and anything extra I get out is a bonus. It’s difficult to maintain anything for a long time, let alone 19 years, and I think the most dedicated among you understand that. Especially in light of the fact that webcomics this old are extremely rare. In any case, I hope you have a nice weekend and I’ll see you on Monday. Until then, duck and weave, duck and weave.
