I gather there was a difficulty viewing today's comic in IE - I have no idea why, but having re-uploaded the comic it's looking a lot healthier.
So I find myself between jobs, and looking for some way to supplement my (non-)income. To this end, I have decided to take commissions from readers.

Email me at amason@spiderforest.com if you're interested. I'm willing to do Special Schoolers or characters of your own design, up to and including real people. Prices start at UK£30 or US$50 for a digitally-coloured portrait. Everything else is negotiable.

You know you want it.

Kruck is a fun word. Kruck kruck kruck! (It's nominally a swear word from various Doctor Who novels, though there it was spelt "Cruk".)

This time last week I was marvelling how my pagehits had leapt up to 42,000. (I know, pagehits aren't actual reader figures. But they still entertain.) Today we seem to be up to 44,000 (and very nearly 45). Krucking kruck!
