Chapter 15, Page 13 No translation

Actually, I will provide a translation.

Panel 1: Passport.

Panel 2: Welcome.

Panel 3: Parking is straight ahead. Follow the signs to customs.

I am so sorry! I'm sure it's purely coincidental that I've been having so many technical difficulties with page 13. Very sure. Yeah.

Anyway, I'm tired of having to rearrange my desktop, including aspect ratios which don't always work and preferences that get reset for no reason I can think of, every time I want to use my tablet. So I got the parts and had my brother put together a computer rig specifically for my tablet. One problem. *Every time* I try to put the Photoshop installation CD into the computer the tablet goes out of sync and shuts down. Can't really install something if I don't have a monitor to see what I'm doing. GAAAA! And this rig is totally useless if I can't get Photoshop onto it! I have a ten-pound paperweight! *bangs head on desk* I wonder if my brother has a spare monitor I can borrow for a little while.

Chapter 14, Page 12 On the road

It's hard to draw, or do much of anything, when all you want to do is sleep. Or rip out your right ear and most of your throat.

Don't you just love cold and flu season? Ugh...

Anyway, I'll try my best to complete this arc. Perhaps I'll just assume that Mary spends the fall and winter doing what I'll probably be doing. Drinking tea and being miserable.

Chapter 14, Page 11 Going camping

I'm alive! Would've had this out earlier this week, but I had sinus pressure where my brains should've been.

Anyway, Mary is going to a summer camp for the first time ever. Should be interesting?

Chapter 14, Page 10 In stereo

And I got another one out! Woot!

Is it normal to be this freaked out about bugs and arachnids? Because I remember alternating between annoyed and amused by the whole thing. Not that I'd want one of the poisonous specimens crawling on me. That would be scary.

Chapter 14, Page 9 Scary spider

Sorry for the delay. Again. Life happened a lot. And then there was the heat wave that made drawing rather difficult. (The tablet gets very warm very quickly and my hands tend to stick to paper.) I think I'm starting to catch up on a lifetime of inadequate sleep, so maybe I'll be able to update more frequently.

No promises.

Chapter 14 Page 8 A little bugged

I need to manage my time better. I need to sleep better. I need to figure out why I'm not sleeping.

And I should probably apologize to my sisters for sticking bugs in their faces.

Chapter 14, Page 7 The Horror!

Okay, so my youngest sister is (was) really more freaked out by spiders than bugs. I do seem to recall something like this happening with a bug, though, and Conny really doesn't get much screen time.
