IN: Morning My Friends ... On Tuesday evening I made a promise to Brooke & Mac . I promised them that on Wednesday we would pack a lunch and head to Orwell ( a nearby conservation area ) for a picnic and a long walk . I ' m sure like many of you life feels like it 's so busy , so hectic , & at times out of control . Well ... that 's how I was feeling and even though my " to do " list was very long I had to make a decision to slow it down for awhile and enjoy life ..... especially during this beautiful Autumn season .
Why would I choose to take time to slow things down when I have a long list of things to do ?

OUT: None of the above choices .

IN: We then went behind the school and hung out on the soccer fields for awhile . Maisie got it in her head that she needed to poop on the soccer field , and so before I knew it , she had pooped 2 or 3 separate times in the middle of the soccer field . This , of course , was not what we wished would have happened , but she was without a diaper and is close to being potty - trained ( but clearly not poop trained ) so I did n't have many options but to let her do her thing . I did my best to clean up the mess with various leaves and twigs , but I did n't have a lot of materials to clean up all of her little deposits .
What is a likely fact about the speaker that led this event to occur in this fashion ?

OUT: They believe in allowing their daughter to roam free , uninhibited by a diaper unless absolutely necessary

IN: Yesterday I received an email from my favorite Star Wars Chick . In it , she included a " Yak 's Pub - esque pic " ( her words , not mine ) that made me laugh out loud . I was so delighted with it that I decided to bump todays strip and make one inspired by hers .
What may be the reason I am authorized to bump a strip ?

OUT:
I am the artist who makes the comic allowing me to make changes when necessary .
