Comic for Wednesday, May 22, 2013:
Recent News
Monday, Jan 21, 2013 In celebration of eleven years of comics (and certainly not simply because the timing happened to be convenient and I've been eager to get to this moment), there will be five story comics this week. The sketchbooks on Tuesday and Thursday will be simple and likely colorized, reworded panels, but they'll still happen, too.
Wednesday, Oct 24, 2012 The next story comic will be Friday, and I am at least temporarily changing to a Monday-Wednesday-Friday story comic schedule with Tuesday-Thursday sketchbooks.
I was hoping to wait until next week to put this into effect, but personal matters have moved it up to this week. To be completely honest, I should have had this week be a MWF week from the start, but I was too stubborn to admit it to myself.
As for why I’m going to have MWF be the regular schedule for a while, there are a few reasons. One is simply that the MTTF schedule has been difficult to adhere to recently, and another is that I want to be able to work ahead more so that when I do increase the update rate again, I can keep it going.
What I really want to do is a MTWTF schedule, but that’s not happening without a significant comic buffer in place. I feel my best odds for pulling that off is to gradually work ahead while having a MWF schedule until I’m ready to increase it again.

Commentary
- Ellen explaining the details at Grace's birthday party
- Ellen sharing more details with Nanase
- Diane got in trouble
Writing for Ellen is a lot like writing for a more worldly female Elliot with worse impulse control and less restraint. Which, of course, should probably be expected.
There are two sofas in the room they're in, but the back of one combined with the other sort of makes it look like there's one very oddly shaped piece of furniture. It's two, I promise you that, but it does look sorta weird in the first panel of this comic. I also assure you that there's a TV behind--er, in front... There's a TV with a varying relative position the direction each character is facing there.
The lamp is based on one I own, and I believe is similar to one or more that my friends owned. I remember once hearing that some people considered such lamps dangerous because some people would haphazardly drape clothing over the top, thereby creating a potential fire hazard. I don't think it's fair, however, to describe the lamp in that scenario as being dangerous. I would save that adjective for whoever thought it was good idea to leave fabric on a hot bulb.
