I know updates have been very erratic lately... I've been distracted by Real Life Stuff, like bills and job searches and various other things.

Unfortunately I have had to disable anonymous comments. Why, you ask? Because the bot spammers are going berzerk on my site. I spent all day travelling 17 1/2 hours (nearly 1000 miles) going from Charlottesville, VA to Monroe, LA, and when I finally get home I find spambots have had a field day in my absence. My personal favorite was the one that advertised a "boob-enlarging ringtone."

I hope this will be temporary. If you want to comment on the site you can always create an account. Lately it usually works...

Tomorrow I leave for Charlottesville to hang out with my family for the 4th of July. I'll start up the comic again on Monday.

I've updated the spam-catching tool my site uses to nap comment spammers. Almost immediately after doing so the comment spam stopped. Actually, almost immediately after doing so ALL comment-related activity stopped. I'm still trying to figure out if there's a connection.

Minor technical difficulties have prevented me from posting comics. Not site difficulties per se (though apparently some bot is zerg rushing my site with comment spam, thank you very much for that whoever you are), just stuff. I'll try and get back on the horse tomorrow.
