Of all the possible ways I expected my readers to react to the characters in the Help Desk universe, the desire to cosplay them never once crossed my mind. But one reader decided he was going to take Viktor Schreck out of his clipart world and into the real world... and the results were very impressive.

Sorry for being away for so long. There was One Last Big Push at work, then I got strep throat.

Getting rid of the latest pile of blogspam appears to have removed a number of legitimate posts (mostly posts commenting on the blogspam). Apologies for this. I suspect it removed those posts because they were treated as responses to the spam posts, and it deleted the entire "thread." Never mind my comments aren't threaded...

I think there's a fix for this and I'll try to set it up so it doesn't happen again...

Early this morning in a fit of insomnia I added transcriptions to all the comics that were missing them. We should be all caught up on those now.

Yes, I know. It shocked me too.

You can thank a certain person I know from work who has been pestering me incessantly for an update. Though he'll be disappointed it wasn't a new Kernel Panic...

Now that I have a real computer to work on (my new laptop, refer to previous post) I've been spending the last two days copying and restoring files, downloading software, etc -- everything I need to do to get the machine fully loaded and ready to go. Unfortunately that has been taking up all my time, so I've missed two publication dates as a result. If I am very productive this evening I hope to have comics queued for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. If I am closer to my normal level of productivity then the comic will resume publication on Monday.
