My Award Has A First Name
WTF IS GOING ON!?!?
If you follow me on Twitter, you may know that my mom was in a really bad car accident yesterday. I ended up spending all night in the hospital and came home to get some rest about 2am this morning. I’m headed back to the hospital now. She is doing well, but she needs to have surgery for a compound fracture in her thumb. Please send positive thoughts our way and excuse the lack of comic updates this week.
I assume I will still be at Emerald City Comic Con this weekend if she is already home and recovering.
If you are in Seattle and would be interested in a reader meetup this weekend, comment below.

Won't be in Seattle BUT hope it goes well – sounds like everybody in the world will be there.
Glad your mom is ok, hope she continues to heal well.

I'm going to pretend that Na'vi in the tux is actually Gob Bluth…

Glad your mom is ok! My thoughts are with her and you and your family.
Great strip! I'm really enjoying your webcomic btw. I wish we'd have a similar comic in Germany, but oh well, your's is just perfect anyway. Keep it up!

Glad your mom is OK. I would love a meetup in Seattle. I should be at ECC on Saturday.

I wish I could make it to the ECCC. Sucks because I only live a couple hundred miles away. Oh well.

Love to meet up, but I'm a volunteer at ECCC and will be manning the Marvel booth (section H) all day both days. If you swing by to greet the Mighty Marvelites, please also say hi to the guy with the shaved head wearing the volunteer shirt (it says Pawn on the back). I'll be tickled pink.
Otherwise, hope you enjoy the show – - it's looking to be a tingly pile of geeky madness!

Well, they say bad things come in threes. Between your back, your kid getting sick, and your mom getting in a crash, you should be ok for a while now if it's any consolation
March 11th, 2010 at 7:35 pm
I would also be interested in a meeting, hopefully in the evening-time.
March 12th, 2010 at 9:52 am
Sorry to hear about your mum Joel. Hope the surgery went well and she's recovering ok.
March 12th, 2010 at 2:42 pm
Hey there….dropping by all the way from Malaysia.
Great comics mayte…keep it coming.
And hope your mum gets well soon
March 13th, 2010 at 3:23 am
Moms in hospitals are never a good thing. Hope she recovers quickly.
So excited that you'll be in Seattle tomorrow.
