Argh!

There is currently no phone connection at my house which means no new comic this week. Ugh. I went into our basement last night armed with a flashlight to see if I could spot the problem and found that there is an elaborate "jerry rig" of the ancient phone lines spliced with modern ones. That can't be good. Grrrrrrrrrr. So the phone company is going to have to put in all new phone lines in the next few days. Woo.
I never really realized how subconsciously dependent on the internet that I am. I kept sitting down at my computer every five minutes to open safari kind of like when you're bored and you repeatedly check the fridge for food despite the fact that there's nothing you want to eat. Yeah, it's that kind of fun.
