Every once in a while, every webcomic artist hits a point where it’s suddenly an uphill struggle to get the comic finished ontime. I’ve got a day job, of course, and due to a huge underestimation of my abilities, it almost looked like I was going to hit one of those points. Obviously I didn’t, and I hope you enjoy the new page (glorious green paint, how I have missed you) and so the point of this is not, in fact, an apology.

No, the purpose is to expose you to the wacky little mind of my best friend, who was all prepared to come to my rescue with a guest comic, crafted lovingly in… uh… Microsoft Paint.

Regardless, I just had to showcase her, um. Her talents. Her mastery. And a note, as she has threatened me with doom if I don’t post it: she actually, in fact, I promise you, can draw really, really well.

Now go. Witness the beauty! Meet JoeBob’tekk (AKA the slow, silent type). That’s totally a datapad being smashed by a spear in the second last panel. I AM SO SORRY.
