1989 Tire Fire.

Now we must return to the less fun world of the store. Honestly, I wish I was faster at art because I miss characters more & more the longer I go without drawing their parts of the story. Adding 4 new fictional characters into a fictional layer of the comic only added to this issue. XD

I numbered this page incorrectly & almost ruined an older page by saving over it, but luckily I had a backup saved. I need to set an alarm to remind myself to backup the comic files once a week at least. The surface doesn’t have a lot of internal memory so I have to save to an external drive. It also only has… a single USB 2 port. it might be USB 3. In any case it takes a long time to save a lot of data & I have to unhook the fan I use to keep it from overheating. I still haven’t replaced the Surface, obviously. I keep hoping that they’ll announce a version with the USB port upgraded to C but I may just have to accept that I may not be able to wait it out. This one has started chugging a little when it’s running background stuff. Just enough to be slightly disruptive, which worries me a little.
You can get a Surface with a terabyte of memory now, which is more than enough to hold the entire library of pages. So I could have it stored on the computer, on a removeable memory card, and on an external drive. Many many layers of safety.

Use a phone charger to power the fan instead of the usb port?

It’s designed to be stuck on the system. There’s nothing to hold it in place without it.

oh, I thought it was something like this

(I have one of these brand new in box I can send if you think it’ll help)

“Putting out fires with gasoline”?

When everything is burnt down the fire goes out. It’s like fighting fire by getting on the fire’s side.

With a large enough explosion you can blow out the fire.

Accidentally*

Unless Wes is on acid and that’s how he keeps making customers angry.

I’ve never heard of whipping in tires, can someone explain please?

read whipping as in throwing forcefully…

I’m guessing you’ve never seen a burning tire before…

I have a sudden surge to smell some burning tires

Reggie and Wes say: Wonder Dim powers…ACTIVATE!!” :D

I thought I was Mike who put Reggie in charge of Wes

If it would make your life easier, I personally would be fine with Wes accidentally dying. He reminds me of an old co-worker. In other news every other aspect of this comic is excellent.
