First and foremost, my condolences to the friends and family of the crew of Shuttle Columbia. Any tributes I tried to draw were absolutely lousy, so I made the intended update with a short message attached.
Regarding today's strip: I said I'd have new strips up in February. I didn't say they'd relate to the current story arc. Besides, while I am working on new strips and I know exactly what's in Aidan's room, I'm having drawing issues. I need to draw arms better (as well as legs, heads, hands, feet, and the rest of the body), and since there's a lot of hand-waving in the next few episodes and potential throwing of objects, it's more obvious than ever before that my arms suck. So please be patient.
And yes, this is filler - an old strip I drew almost a year ago. That is Gwen, with an extra stray bang or two. You can guess it was taken directly from real-life. This is a reminder of why I don't like treadmills and stair machines. Some days I'd rather walk in the pouring rain than deal with a treadmill. (Which probably would explain the two colds in a row last month, if I didn't keep using the 3rd floor at work as a walking track.)
