well folks,
I was hoping to have a Christmas special up by now, but alas... 'tis not in the cards. I have been frantically working on Christmas gifts for my immediate family because (cough) I may be a bit of a procrastinator.
Some good news! I passed the typography class which I was close to flunking (barely... by a hair) and I got B's and an A in the rest of my classes. Needless to say, I spent A LITTLE too much time on extra-curriculars this semester... Theatre... The comic... Television. Anyway, it was a mistake, but God has a certain, wonky sense of humor concerning grace and mercy. Kudos to the management of this hum-drum universe!
Also, I am with my family now, and they bring me immense comfort. The little cataclysms of your life fade away when you have loved-ones near by. Another courtesy of the management.
Marco and Marty will be up in the new year along with (maybe) another strip which I will pitch to The Daily Illini (the other guy who I belittled with a couple of my comics actually quit. I hope those facts are unrelated.) So! IF YOU HAVE ANY REQUESTS FOR COMICS [see this post for reference] NOW WOULD BE THE TIME TO LEMME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS SECTION OF THIS POST! I am trying to stuff my portfolio with as much work as possible so I will be doing this anyway, regardless of whether or not it is published.
My fans. My public. My adoring rabble. You make this modest, self-worshipping blog a small piece of heavenly angel-food cake. Have a warm, safe, happy holiday and I will see you when I see you!

P.S. I figured Marco and Marty was vaguely Christmasy enough to post.
