Okay, when I've said that I really need to start making new strips before my buffer runs out? It occurs to me that I have to make one new strip much sooner than that. I mentioned before that the original strip for April 1, 2001 was part of a "April Fools comic swap", drawn by the creator of a different strip, but that I did not intend to run that strip this time around. (How was there an April Fools' strip on April 1, 2001 if I was running so far behind schedule at the time? Simple; because the strip was out of continuity anyway I just ran the April 1 strip even though the previous strip that had gone up was the November 5, 2000 strip, intending to fill in the intermediate strips later.) This means, of course, that I'll need to draw a new strip to take its place. Which, because of the leap year issue, will now be up on March 31, so... I've got about a week and a half to do it. Okay, I'm going to make that a high priority this week.
