Poor Phil, in EP346, it's hard to be outdone by a little cat.

I don't know if noticed, but in last week's episode (EP344) I mistakenly drew Phil in his regular clothes instead of his pyjamas. I was going to leave it, but thought it would look strange if Phil is in his pyjamas, and then suddenly appears in his clothes. I compromised by just drawing poka dots on his shirt. You can still see the collar of his shirt. In this week's episode (EP345) you can see he has the pyjama collar back again. By the way, that's a girlie drink in the D'BAD Queen's hand. It's almost too small to see.

Just checking to see if you're paying attention.

The company I work for, Nortel, announced that it is going to be broken up and sold in pieces. Let's hope I get "traded" to the new owner. Nothing will be for sure until the fall.

Summer vacation is less than 4 weeks away!! I will post the summer schedule soon.

Spring time is allergy season. Looks like the D'BAD Queen has it bad in EP343.

Of course the line in the last frame of EP342 is taken from Mae West: "Is that a pistol in your pocket? Or are you just glad to see me."

Schedule Change...

Since there was so much trouble with the server that hosts my comic last week, and I'm catching a cold to boot, the next update will be a week later on Tuesday May 26th. We'll stay at the current episode (EP340) so we get a clean start on the new storyline.

For those of you in Canada, have a good and safe Victoria Day long weekend!

We begin a new storyline with EP340. The note at the bottom of frame 4 says "As Time Goes By, words and music by Herman Hupfeld, 1931". I should know by now not to use such small print. You can't see it on the computer screen. To me, Casablanca is one of the most romantic movies ever made. And "As Time Goes By" is a timeless song.

If you were trying to access the Straight Ahead website, the Comicgenesis server was down for most of last week. It looks like this has been fixed. Thanks for your patience.

And so ends another storyline.

EP339 shows that Sgt Ruff will be with us for a long time, if not forever. My partner actually witnessed this happen in a local mall here in Ottawa. When he told me the story, I knew I was going to use it to end the storyline.

I checked the archives and was surprised to find this story started almost 2 years ago on June 5th 2007 !! I definitely need to shorten the storylines. I promise the next one will be shorter. Didn't I say that last time?? I can't remember, it was too long ago.
