I went to Europe, and I learned to say things in foreign languages for which I will have no use.

Here is a comic! See you Monday.

This is by James, who never shies away from important issues!

Normal service resumes Friday. I’m in forrin! Whoo!

This is me all week. But soon - long weekend away!

I’m away already, in fact, and so there’ll be a guest strip just for Monday!

See, it’s not a cypher for me because I bet the cake Martin made at least tasted nice. I do not recommend Somerset cake. Do not be fooled by it having cider in it.

This might have to be filed under ‘jokes most of my readers might not get’, but I was listening to Warren Zevon, and this is not conducive to working some rage up on paper.

There was so much family this Sunday I didn’t write a comic. Saturday I was just lazy and went shopping and made my flatmate stand in the underwear section of M&S like a pervert, but Sunday is usually when I panic and write something, so I’m using that as the excuse, OKAY?

Anyway I’ll think of something proper for Friday, and that’ll be awesome.

This is based on lunch, and my deep desire to draw tiny triangles eaten out of a sandwich. The triangles bit didn’t come out as good as they could have, I guess.

I caught a wasp today that was on a friend of mine, and it was put out of one window and came back in the other, so right now it’s under a pint glass on my drawers, eating the blueberry I gave it. We are waiting until it can behave itself, then it can go back outside.

Yep. Not a cypher for me. Definitely.

This is not doing anything for my protests that Martin isn’t a cypher for me.

IN OTHER NEWS: I closed comments on entries older than 60 days to cut down the amount of spam I have to deal with. Seriously, last time I had 213 spam comments, and ten more came while I was deleting.
