I'm mostly back, I think. Since I broke my ankle when I had one comic left in a sequence, and it was set to run on a Friday, here it is now. It's technically still Friday, so it counts.

Sorry for the long break. I stayed with my friends for three weeks but am back home in my dusty apartment, and with luck, I'll be able to keep up. Let's just say that nothing much happened in INRland in May. Or maybe Rose has been at Terry's Teas for three weeks. Eh...time is relative.

I still hate crutches, though.

In less frustrating news, my story "Made to Be Broken" has been selected for inclusion in The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2026. So hurrah!

Panel 1: Rose is talking to Terry and Jack at Terry's Teas.

Jack: This is way too coincidental.

Rose: No, it's not.

Panel 2:

Rose: You know Basil, who likes you for some reason. Basil's whole thing is helping people find jobs.

Panel 3:

Rose: Basil knows Terry. He connects the two of you. I come here to torture you into telling me how you know Basil.

Panel 4:

Rose: It's all perfectly simple.

Jack: I hate everything, everywhere, all at once.

Alt-Text: Jack is so pissed off that he's accidentally making movie references.
