Templar: Not exactly Under the Bodhi Tree, are we?

I am totally opening my presents in three and a half hours and no one can stop me.

Also? Screw it. I'm a week behind, I'm not gonna catch up, am I? It's time I accepted it. Let's start fresh, okay? No more back-dating the updates, this is Monday's page. Sorry, folks. But between cons, getting shirts printed, answering emails, mailing orders, calling comic shops, and remastering chapter two's art for print, I couldn't handle a backlog to boot. Let's pretend I took last week off on purpose.

I'm so behind on my blog posts that I haven't even had time to publicly thank you guys that have sent me gifts for the holidays, namely these books. Hell, part of Templar's lag is your fault, since I basically ate up a day each reading these things from cover to cover. Art Out of Time is just fascinating (Stardust the Wizard! Herbie! White Boy!!) , and I honestly never thought I'd get Freak Babylon. Ever. It has photos I've never seen of performers I've never heard of before, which is one helluva trick when you're as into this sorta thing as I am.

And to top it all off, I open my inbox a few days ago, and find an mp3: A cover of "Crazy Horses" by Throat, with Neil Fallon from Clutch, my favorite band, on guest vocals. Just because.

Thank you. You guys are good people. I keep saying it over and over, but that's because it's true. I hope your holidays are half as great as mine have already been.

Thanks for reading my comic. Thanks for printing my comic. Thanks for buying my comic. Thanks for knocking me up into the #1 all-time spot over at Webcomics Nation. Thanks for winning me Webcomics Idol. Thanks for coming to see me at conventions and sending me emails and fan art and everything else that you do. 2007 has been my best year on record, professionally and creatively. And with you guys in my corner, 2008 will probably kick even more ass. If that's even possible.

Happy holidays, internet. Let's hug!

Hugs for Spike! Merry Christmas, and keep bringing us this awesome comic.

OK. I am liking Pippi now. I have to say that is is BEST argument for not going to school I have hear. Still isn't the best logic, but I love how she has Scip by the nose and is like "So.. I can skip school now, right?"
