Transcript below, as usual, but there's a lot of stuff to catch you all up on about the comic and more.
The personal stuff first: Shan and I are getting married today! Hooray!
We figured if we waited until we could "do it up right," we'd be waiting a long, long time (especially considering it turns out the insurance settlement isn't even going to cover my medical bills), but hey--We're together, and we're happy. During the times we can't make each other happy, we at least make each other less miserable. Heh! Eventually we'll have a big reception/party to celebrate, but we're cool with a little civil ceremony for now.
About the comic:
And what's this? After such a long unplanned hiatus, three updates at once? Well, yeah. I've had the line art from Mike's last two strips for quite a while, but wanted to wait until I was going to be able to keep things going before I posted them.
You'll also notice that my name is the only one on the comic now. Yup--My arm/back have been improving quite a bit. The bad days are getting fewer, further between, and less severe, so I decided to take over the art myself.
It is of course not up to the standards you've been used to in the past, and I was a bit nervous about it, but in a way, it's nice to be doing it all myself from start to finish. I can draw for about twenty minutes at a time now before things start cramping up, so I'm just pacing myself, and I figure my drawing will improve with time. Shan is helping with critiques and suggestions (and of course, it's nice to have all of her original inks for reference), and drew Kit's body on this strip. I'm also out of practice with shading, but I'll work on all of it as we go.
Expect a redesign and some improvements to the site soon, too!

Panel 1
Kit: What's wrong, Seth? Blue got your time machine back.
Seth: I know. Just... It's my fault your cat's missing. I promise I'll keep looking for Nip until we find him, though.
Panel 2
Kit: I know you will. And look at the bright side of things.
Panel 3
Kit: I bet you're the only person in history that ever had this much help hunting puss--
Seth (cutting her off): Do you mind? I thought we were having a moment.
Very funny :)
Nice way to end a moment :P

Thanks, Seth. :-) Updates
Thanks, Seth.
:-)
Updates are going to be a bit far between right now while I clear a few things off my plate, but I'll certainly be continuing the comic. Starting to use a tablet, which should cut my drawing time down, hence sparing my arm. So as I get used to the tablet, expect update frequency to increase.
BTW, any chance of you getting down our way again any time soon?
"What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly."
Hi!
Poor Nip, lost in time. *hugs kit* I LOVE YOUR SHIRT! And Blue, I'm sorry about your name. MARION,ugh. BTW, if that your name and Kit's name is Kitala, then what's Crash's real name? Oh! I almost forgot, I READ THIS ALL IN ONE DAY! FROM 8 AM TO 1:40 PM! WHOOT! I hope your summer's are going as great as mine! And if your wondering, my username means forest light in Japanese. Or maybe light forest, not sure.
Heh! Thanks. And Crash's
Heh! Thanks.
And Crash's name is Katrina. And yes, we picked it before the hurricane.
And hmmm... I don't think lighting the forest would be a good idea in most instances...
:-D
