On this note, I've been asked "Since you have comics completed a month ahead, why not go 7 days a week?". The answer to that is simple, laziness. I am an honest person, especially about my flaws, and I am one lazy, lazy individual. Right now, through constant self-badgering, I've built up a nice 1 month padding of strips, but I know. K-N-O-W that I'll slip up. I'll procrastinate or go on vacation or get sick or go on travel and BAM, I'm begging for fan-art or doing stick figure week or doing half-ass art. And if you think my stuff is half-assed NOW, you'd cringe at my REALLY lazy stuff. So, as I've promised myself that I will NEVER do a stick-figure week, fan-art week, or I'm too lazy to post ANY comics or even explain why I'm not posting any comics week, I've got to have padding. It's necessary. I've seen what happens to comics that don't update when they promise, or fall into the "throw crap at the readers" mode. They lose people, fast. I should know, I've dropped other strips because of it (You reading this, Burke? Of course you're not.) The last thing I need is fewer readers. Anybody still reading this? Oh well. So, there you have it. The 1 month pad is for your protection, so you know that something will be here every weekday from now until the date posted, at least.------------------

Whew! Chapter 1 is over and Ceasura 1 is almost halfway done! Ok, so it's only 2 weeks long, humor me. I do want to point out that the 4 members of the ITV Fizzing Bob and Poog are all based on people I know or have met through the web, and that credit for the ship's name is given to Russell.I also want to point out that Faraway Stars is a year old and now has 200+ strips in the archive. How the HELL did that happen?!?
