Hello again from the great white north.

Minnesota's shitty winter weather finally decided to rear it's face, and the bullshit is in full effect.  It's cold, it's icy, and it's snowing like a motherfucker.  Aaaah, good old winter.  ...Wait, no.  Screw this. I want the fifty degree weather again.  I want it to not take me fifty minutes to get to work.

Comic is up and posted, and we are heading out Thursday for Ohayocon.  We won't be making it into Columbus until Friday for the con, but it'll be nice to see some of our friends out there.  And any excuse I get to start fires and bullshit with Nobaku is always good.

Alright, off to work.  Pray I don't die.

You may notice a distinct lack of actual comic this week.  I've been busy, but here's the real story: We are taking a stand this week against SOPA.

On Wednesday of this week, don't be surprised if you go to a lot of websites and they are down.  Many sites, including hopefully ours if we can get the proper assistance, will be going black to tell these awful bits of legislature to stick it where the sun doesn't shine.  We are unplugging our router and not using the internet.  We won't be on FB, twitter, or any other site.  Sure we are a tiny website that won't mean much, but it adds up.  Friends like Jamie Hatton are going to take their sites down this week as well, so we are not alone.

 That's about it, kids.  New comic will be up in time for Monday of next week.

See you on the flip side.

The comic, as you can see, is now up.  :) Thanks for being patient, my lovelies.  I just couldn't muster up the strength yesterday to do anything short of sleep after I got home.  I've spent the better part of the last few days doing nothing but cleaning, scrubbing, painting, and otherwise trying to open a brand new dance studio in Minneapolis. For the record, the place is called Smiling Lune and we are having a free open house this Sunday. If you are in the area and would like to sample some free classes, meet the instructors, and have a great time, we will be open at 12 noon.  You can find us on Facebook under Smiling Lune!

It's been a long, difficult week in the anime industry, one that has actually seen battle lines drawn in the sand, so to speak and has resulted in the loss of some friends, etc.  For the record, if you missed the story, there was some sad news about Bandai entertainment.  As many of you know, we have some great friends in the industry that are directors, voice actors, etc., friends that we have seen lose jobs due to the issues.  While I don't want a crapload of argument here on the site, I will say this.  Fans can support the industry and do their part most easily by participating in legal means of obtaining their material.  Sites like Crunchyroll and Hulu, as well as our favorite spot Netflix, all offer great inexpensive, and FREE, means of obtaining anime. PLEASE do your part and help support the industry. 

Also as an FYI, we will be at Ohayocon at the end of this month as featured artists!  We're looking forward to the roast of our good buddy Emily DeJesus as well. Bwahahaha!

Now, I'm going to go watch Chobits and do a bit of laundry.

Have a great week!

Hi all!

Not to fret, the comic is coming.  I'm one week from opening the new dance studio that I am co-operating and instructing at, and I've been there all day scrubbing and painting and basically making a complete mess of myself.  It will be up Monday evening at the latest, so no worries. :)
