TODAY'S NEWS: People sometimes ask me how long it takes to create a comic, and the answer is always "Well, it depends." I started working on shooting and assembling this comic about five hours before I started writing this, but even that's a little misleading. That time also saw two loads of laundry, a snack break, and a time-out when my back started aching and needed a few minutes of lying down. I also have to include scripting, and time spent setting up the web pages, and the time to write this news post. All in all, it's fair to say that I'll devote six hours of my life to today's comic. I hope you like it!
