Honestly, the flow of the text on this page could be better. This is the problem you run into when you don’t write your script in advance of taking your pictures. Or at least an outline or something. Despite this, however, I’m really liking how this story is unfolding. Right now is the customary set up. Soon will be when the shit gets real.

So holidays are right around the corner. There are really two camps when it comes to this time of year:

1) The people who planned ahead and got their holiday shopping done well in advance of the holiday (FYI: that’s less than 40% of the country)
2) The people who procrastinated and still have to do some last-minute shopping

Guess which group I’m in? I’ll give you a hint: it’s not the second group.

I tend to be a little OCD about planning ahead. I like to get all the details out, at least in my head. I do this with just about everything. Writing comics. Buying gifts. Figuring out my weekend plans. So when I do comics like this which aren’t planned out by the letter in advance, it’s a bit of an uneasy experience. Fun, but uneasy.

In any case, my point is that if you’re going out this week or next to do holiday shopping, be careful. I worked retail for 9 years…people get crazy when they’re desperate for holiday shopping.

See you Friday!
