Templar: Still gettin' used to this "actual concrete update days" thing.

Depending on which side you're on, this is either going to be a lot of fun or just about the worst thing ever.

Augh. Updatin' Mondays is rough, it doesn't give me much of a weekend. I'll get used to it, though.

But on the bright side: Tip jar sez we've gotta THREE PAGE WEEK! Hooray for that, huh? I'll hafta skip out on this year's Halloween pin-up, but something tells me you guys would prefer a new page of comics, anyway.

More soon!

...

By the way, this is sort of driving me crazy, so... does anyone know the name of a eurocomics artist who's currently planning or doing a series about Australopithecines? I could swear I saw it in the shop the other day, but I can't recall the author or title. All I remember is a pretty graphic birth scene.

Help.

Oooh, not just masks, but giant glasses and protective eyewear. Keeps the membranes from being rotted in acid.

Now, air filters are a fashion accessory in Templar, and lots of Reclamation goes for the welding-chic, so this isn't going to take out all of them- and the riot police are a stone's throw away- do they intervene, to save the nutjob protestors? Protect the mad gas bombers from being beaten to death with wrenches?

Spike, you are so very, very awesome.

Tom the Dancing Bug (which is online at Salon.com) has does some strips that star an Australopithecine, but he's pretty not eurocomics.

For those of us(with my track record for saying that, its probably just me) not in the know, what is a Australopithecine?

P.S.- Wow, what do you know. Its Halloween, got a new phone number yesterday that is 662-6667, and just now, my code to make sure I'm not a bot is 666. Should I be afraid, humored, alalyzing, or whipping out the tarot deck here? If only it were a new moon tonight, then I would have something to go raving lunatic about in the city square.

K.C., it refers to two extinct hominin genera, Australopithecus and Paranthropus. Among the australopithecines was A. africanus which is believed to be a near ancestor of the Homo genus, among which is H. sapiens (humans).

Yeah, from personal experience Friday Monday is hard. You should go for Friday Tuesday, give you an entire crappy Monday to do the boring tasks like cleanup and posting...
