Hi all!  As I mentioned last week, I’m taking this week off of updating the comic to celebrate my birthday on the 9th, and to spend this past Labor Day weekend visiting my family. And also to catch up on store orders, and all that paying work that I had to postpone due to an exciting bout of Mystery Food Poisoning-esque Illness.  (good news, though: ginger beer and saltines are just as delicious as I remember them being.)

But, as promised, I’ve uploaded a new batch of notes for page 14o-150!  What do microbats, Immanuel Kant, and Catherine the Great’s choice of saddles all have in common?  They are totally tangentially related to Family Man!  As is everything I potentially find interesting.

In other things that you should be reading, I recently received a copy of Volume One of Skin Horse, the wonderful comic by Shaenon Garrity and Jeffrey Wells.  It is beautifully produced and just as delightful as everything I have come to expect from Ms. Garrity and her collaborators.

I mean, god, the storyline with the silverfish alone is worth its weight in gold.  I mean, where else will you find a single panel like this, in which a silverfish explains their finest silverfish opera:

The entire damn storyline maintains this grade of lunacy, and I don’t think I have ever seen ten more expressive lines than what Shaenon does with those freaking silverfish.

So, seriously, shoo.  Go buy.
