Hi everybody!
1. Yesterday's strip has been uploaded: it should show up by a reasonable hour of saturday morning. (It's queued. I think. Perhaps.)
2. Timeliness of creation and posting has been delayed by illness, both personal and in the family, and the delays been entirely my fault: that's improved, and I'm hoping to return to twice a week shortly (and perhaps, even, eventually, The Grail of thrice-weekly.)
3. I have finally logged in and looked at the stats. They blow my mind. There are numbers in hundreds and thousands and very nearly tens of thousands, and they're consistent.
I'm a trifle giddy. :) Thank you all.
