My Neck! My Back!

My neck and my back!

I hurt my shoulder pretty bad which has sevrely limited the mobility of my neck and back. This happens every once in a while and usually takes a few days to get over. Needless to say I wasn’t able to draw a comic for today. I’m feeling a little better now so if there is a comic for Monday it will be up late tonight or possibly Tuesday.

Thanks for understanding.

-Joel

    Smatter? Can't Eli and/or Josh pick up a pen? They can be Joel's arms, kinda like that Speed Racer episode where Racer X hurt his legs and Speed was temporarily blind and Speed drove the Mach 5 blind while Racer X gave him directions…..I'd better get back to work.
    Better up Joel!

    Horrible thing, back pain. Get well soon, Joel. Excellent strip from Jarmo, too.

    Gotta be more careful when you're polishing the brass monkey Joel.

    I'm thinking you could trot out certain arcs, like Cruise-El/Scientology, or Eli being Mexican, or Josh going on a journey somewhere to Gaytown.

    As long as it's funny, we don't mind breaks from topicality.

    Even the Watchmen comics were a sort of miniarc in my eyes. It was the same setting about almost the same thing.

    Will you settle for "it still hurts but not as much as before"?

    Yeah, I have a pretty bad back situation all around. Typically I will injure it by just bending over the wrong way. At its worst I am nearly paralyzed for a day or two.

    I feel the same way, except I think thats what makes HE special, or at least different. Id love to think of a start point and an end point and crank out 10 strips in between but thats not what Im trying to do here.

    I suppose I can live without it for a few moments more. Get well soon!

    Oh, I want $150,000, but we can settle out of court right now for twenty bucks.

    Great strip. That's my favorite Joel pose right there.

    I would hate to meet Death Metal Joel in a dark alley.

    Everybody always says, "Get better soon." Screw that. I say, "Get better now."

    It happens every once in a while? I don't like the sound of that…..

    Regain drawing ability and mobility quickly! We all depend on you.

    It's times like these I really wish HE wasn't such a topical strip, so that it could be written a few strips in advance, and have guest comics/buffers.

    Also, so Joel wouldn't have to make a 8 hour magnum opus every other night.
