Greetings all!

It looks as if the comic won’t update ’til next week.

My wife has spent some time in the hospital. She originally went in because she was having trouble breathing. That was taken care of in about two hours. Because she’s pregnant, and also because of how her asthma and blood pressure historically interact, they decided to keep her over the rest of that night and the next as well, just to monitor.

Obviously this means I’ve been taking care of her and Nathan instead of drawing or working, so no comic tonight for sure.

This leaves our Christmas travel plans up in the air for the moment, depending on the scheduling of one of the (fairly standard) tests they’d like her to take. If we still go ahead with our travel, you won’t see any comics ’til Wednesday or Friday of next week. If we have to nix our travel and stay home over the holiday weekend, I may use some of the time to post something early next week, but of course I have no way of committing to that yet.

The bottom line for me is that Kara’s breathing was taken care of almost immediately, and that her blood pressure is OK. Everything is fine, and I can easily take care of the rest.

Unfortunately, this forces you into a position of having to wait around for comics while I do. Which is a major bummer for me, because the comic right before Christmas was one of my favorites.
