When I got back from my trip to Kansas City, my computer had crashed out on me.  I went ahead and handed the clunker over to my good friend Brian Sparks so that he can do repairs.  The good news is that we think it’s just the hard drive gone out and the data should be recoverable.  Here’s hoping.

In the meantime that left me stranded with no computer, so I began digging up my old ‘mostly dead’ computer.  I stuck a bellows in the empty media bay, gave it a few pumps and coated the outer case in chocolate.   It’s good enough to storm a castle.  Unfortunately, while all this repair was going on I managed to get a short stomach virus or something.  Nothing terrible but enough to take me out of commission for about a day and a half. 

The good news is that after a rough couple of days I’ve got a computer and enough energy to get some work done.  Since I’m really far behind already and on a nearly dead computer, and don’t have a day off from work till next week I’m going to have to do the minimum.  That means Classic Black and White week is going to extend for another week – but don’t fret cause I will still get the normal four comics up this week even if they’re a little late.   And, when my good computer is back and kicking I’ll keep my promise to go back and color ALL the black and white comics like normal.

Thanks for your patience guys.  It really means a lot to me.  Stay tuned for new comics and updates tonight and tomorrow!
