It's about freakin' time!!!
Yes, yes, unfortunately we were a little late in getting this week's comic up and I'll willingly admit that it was at least partially my fault. In working on my contribution to the strip Thursday night, Photoshop crashed on me at a pivotal point and I hadn't saved recently, so there was a lot of double work to be completed. But nonetheless, many of you may also be aware that we had some server issues last night anyways, so even if we had posted the comic as usual, there was a good chance that most wouldn't have been able to see it anyways...
But we're here now, trucking strong into December and the final days of 2005! It's been quite the ride and we can only wonder at this point what the new year will have in store for the Ink, Paint & Tears... gang as time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping into the future. I can profess that even already we do have a few intriguing cards up our sleeve at this point, although I probably shouldn't say anything at this point because some might say that even already I've said too much!
So instead I thought I'd use this week's posting to help plug a venture that although isn't specifically our own, it's still nonetheless ever so worthwhile and being that we're officially into the season of giving, it would behoove you to keep it in mind as you're hashing out your holiday budget for friends, family and charity this year...
