[ETA: All right, the full version is up! ::pant pant pant:: Next week we are back with the main storyline and you should, knock wood, be getting the Purty version on Wednesday early AM as usual. 🙂 ]

Bear with me, folks. We’ve got one last week of the page going up with no shading on Wednesday and then being updated with the full version shortly after — I’m guessing late Wednesday or early Thursday. After this, I get a bunch of non-comic obligations off my plate and life gets easier for a while. 🙂

For those of you who are new, I use the minicomics as spacers between sections of the main story. They’re sort of peeled off from the main story continuity, unmoored in time, so that I can play with stuff that’s more topical or frivolous or one-off or whatever!

This minicomic was brought to you by “Obama’s Shutdown” and the Frickin’ Rickin’ Asslickin’ Tea Party.
