Author Notes:
Anyway, both the question of how Beth got in and what John was doing will be in the next comic, but for now, we've got R.Z.'s mastery hackery going on... What exactly is Sylene doing on the monitor? YOU DON'T KNOW!... but you will know. Next comic or the one after it.
I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but for the longest time, we had the right border cut off. It was weird, and I had chalked it up to a problem between the programs when making it.. But Jrade's guest comic also had it, so it prompted me to look again, and I realized that I had defined the comic space as 770, whereas it's usually 774 when I save it. So... Enjoy the missing 4 pixels down the right side that you've been missing all this time.... No, go ahead... I'll wait. :D
Well.. this is the last update before Christmas, and I'm not sure what we're doing (if anything) for a Christmas image this year. June's been working on keeping up, and I've learned not to speak for her (most times) with regards to whether or not she's going to go above and beyond. I guess we'll see how she feels and how much free time she has.
So have a Merry Christmas, or any other holiday you might be celebrating this year :) We'll be here on Monday, but I suspect many of you will be too busy to check in :D Have a great weekend!!
User comments:
If you know what I mean ;D
But that author note reminds me - Skrael, you have mail.
It's good to see them again. :D
Sorry I haven't been commenting. I've hardly found any time to go through my huge selection of comics I follow...
So, I will finish with: "R.Z's super-l337 subconscious hacking abilities prove that he's a 3!" xD
Merry Christmas and whatnot. Enjoy it, and don't stress too much!

not beth?
good for john :p
now i think about it, don't RZ and beth have trackers, so the cops can find them?
I doubt the fort is unbustable if they know where it is
@ hagelander - Uh-oh. You're right.
Maybe the tracker-disabling that the Phantom uses (which John was involved with, right?) is an automatic system, and is installed in the fort?
That's the only loophole I can think of...short of certain major plot twists.
I am glad that you are all still here,
it makes my life better knowing I am
not alone in being Cra-zee. ;)
It's really impressive how good kids are with computers. I've watched 4 year-olds operate them and navigate to their favorite games on websites without any assistance from their parents. This is also somewhat frightening. Before we know it, kids are going to actually have computers installed inside their bodies and I'm going to be completely obsolete. More so than I already am, I mean.
i'd think "cooking" is the only thing parents actualy do these days
seeing how the tv/pc are both the babysitter and the toys
and it seems most kids don't get any . . . ehm, damn i don't know the english word but it's the one about teaching values and stuf.
kids these days have become a bunch of one-and-a-halves
@hagelanders - The English word for that is "up-bringin'". At least in the colloquial verbiage. ^-^
(They also really like to make "music" on the piano...)
Anyway hope everyone has a great chrismas.
I can't wait all my family's coming up.
Merry chrismas.
I think I can guess why Beth cares so much for R.Z. and why she won't tell John. When she was a zombie she killed his parents and they're either dead in the old-fashioned way or they don't know him any more in their zombie state.
I know it's random but it just came to me after I left my last comment and I had to get it down.
Ok seriously Merry chrismas. Bye
He cannot be a three.
You'll see everyday
There's a dead giveaway -
He doesn't speak in SundayComicsBB!
I would have loved to do a Christmas image this year, but I have to skip it. With the illness and all that, I just did not have any time. :/ Of course I am adhering to my Secret Santa recipient though, don't worry!
But... he doesn't use SundayComicsBB!
@-3- - It's true!
@Jacob Gristwood - I know! To be honest, I'm surprised that we retained any readers considering how much TOGM goodness they were missing out on... If you count 4 pixels wide by 1672 long and multiply it by 115 strips, that is like ... 769,120 pixels that people were missing out on. That's a heck of a lot of pixels!
@MarshmallowGherkin - It's funny how we all invented reasons that weren't "Magravan can't code websites" to explain it :D
@Jrade - We'll do our best :D
@Onecanofsprite - I've never heard of it before, but I will check it out soon :D
@hagelander - Well, that would assume that they have a reason to be tracking Beth or R.Z. :)
@Jrade - It might work in theory, but only if they stayed in there... Otherwise you'd see a blip that appears and then disappears...
@ranger_brian_new - We have conspiracy theorists? That's awesome :D
@Jamming - Yeah, +5 Luck is a good point... Maybe more ;)
@the_brigand - Same here... Between the cat and the kids, I'm constantly finding functions I didn't even know existed accessed by hotkeys I wasn't even aware were on the keyboard :D
@Kevin - Thank you ;) And I look forward to the rise of our cyborgian Overlords ;)
@hagelanders - You know what's funny? They probably said the same thing about our generation ;)
@Lunaroki - For some reason every time I think of the word up-bringin', I'm also picturing someone waving a slipper....
@ranger_brian_new - Yep, our cat plays our piano and the electronic keyboard as well :)
@snoog - Sounds like you're in for a great Christmas :) I'm glad to see that people are wondering about Beth's relationship to R.Z. and why it's a sore point with her...
@MatthewJA - Haha :) Font as proof, I like it :D Even if he becomes a Three though, I might let him keep it, just because I like him talking with the most Zombie-ish voice of the main cast :D He seems the type who would still choose to talk like that :D
@Skrael - I understand <3
Also, I thought "discipline" I play WoW, I see how little goes into some kids today. every. single. day. No respect!
I've got some pretty hard working and responsible parents too, so that's always nice :)
@sssgreen77 - Is it wrong to enjoy the theorizing on my storyline? I love it :D
And I think that WoW brings out some of the worst in a lot of people... ;)
As for the new year, it's basically just an opportunity to screw up paperwork by doing January 1st, 2010... DAMNIT! I just got used to writing 2010! Really, I think I need to move to Pluto or something. That way, at least I can enjoy some time with the right date ;)
Well, I think you know.

A bit too similar to certain vampires if they actively know everything, but if it's a subconscious knowledge, then I can buy that. :P
@ranger_brian_new - What vampires know stuff by eating brains? Those are my kind of vampires!
