Now you know my problem. My boss and I have to pull more copy out of our butts to fill a paper because we have to have a set number of pages. For those of you not in the business, let me tell you that this is not how to build a newspaper. The number of pages in a newspaper are determined by advertising. That's why Sunday papers are bigger than Monday papers and why Friday papers are bigger than Tuesday papers.
Some days have more advertising than others.
Our press day is Tuesday, and for the past several weeks, I've been getting home at 8 or 9 in the evening when I should be getting home at 6. I find myself too tired to eat, much less draw a comic strip. I'm giving you such a lengthy precursor because I have to make a decision. I have several episodes left in this storyline and I will get to them, but it won't be on a daily basis. I'll be lucky to make it two or three times a week.
