   I’m sure Chloe and Bink would hate this since it (shouldn’t) didn’t produce any heat.

     I was hoping this strip might prompt some educational linkage like this from comments. This device is amazing, thank you! But yeah, Chloe and Bink probably wouldn’t appreciate it, haha.

     It the Dark Ages didn’t happen, we would be much more advanced. Nothing like 500 years of book burning & repressing thought.

   This marks the sad day when i’ve finally caught up to the latest comic and have to know wait for the next one. Its like that moment when you pause your DVR and then finally catch up to live tv…sad face. Awesome comic though. Just found it last week and read them all. Actually got me to download the free starter WOW…

     Aw, heh, I know that feeling with TV shows. Thanks for reading! I’ll keep making new ones every Mon, Wed, Fri for the foreseeable future! And hopefully longer. Until parts of me start to break off. That’s what I’m going for.

     I got up and played an hour before going to work this morning! I’m looking forward to seeing how it unfolds. I never played the others, so I’m excited to see what I’ve been missing!
