sporadic updates this week.
UPDATE -- Looks like the first half of the week was shot because of the freakin' TPS reports. Stupid having to do work. The big plan now is to have a PE(aott) strip up on Friday. That shouldn't stop you from enjoying this week's Spade Phillips, P. I. strips that are all set to go. Oh, and if you're not an A&M alumnus, this page (and some other parts of the site) might clarify a few things for the upcoming Spade storyline. Here endeth the update.

Sorry about the lack of timely updates this week. I was really looking forward to doing up Monday's PE(aott) strip on Saturday, enjoying the weekend, and then cranking out a bunch of stuff on Monday to get ahead. But that was before I had to go into the office this weekend to finish up a major project. After 19.75 hours of work over the last two days, I'm still going to have to go in a bit on Monday to complete it. So no, not even a filler strip is lined up.

So what I'm planning on doing is going in for only an hour or so, coming back home and drawing Monday's strip, and enjoying the half day of rest I'll get on this three-day weekend. But then again, I thought I'd only be at work for three, maybe four hours this weekend. So we'll see.

On the bright side of things, overtime pay! And tomorrow, double time pay!

Wow. I wound up pulling in three full days' of work over the three-day weekend. Man, I am really looking forward to the end of this week...

I'll see if I can get some Spade Phillips, P.I. scanned in for y'all.

Did your TPS reports get taken care of, at least? Or are they still part of this week's problems?

The biggest hurdle has been cleared. There's still a bit more to do (along with some other, less involved TPS reports) this week, but the big one that kept me at work all three days of this weekend looks good.

Oy. Tuesday was even worse. If we're lucky, I'll be able to do a PE(aott) comic for Friday. Stupid real job.

Did you get the memo about the new cover sheet for the TPS reports? Just wanted to make sure that all TPS reports must have the new cover sheet.

Trashy purile stuff?

Techno-prattle-speech?

Timely, Professional, Specs?

Total PEOTT Stopper?

For me, it would probably be something to do with teacher/pupil ratio - but that doesn't fit.
