When you’re reading this, I’ll be in Italy. I’m finally going on a real vacation after my trip to Japan in spring was so disappointingly canceled on short notice. However, I’m hoping for this to be a more relaxed vacation, so I might find the time to do a comic. But since commitments are the antithesis of a relaxing vacation, I’m just going to leave it open if there’s going to be a comic next week or the week after that. Drawing is fun, so if I get lots of me-time I might just have time to make really nice comics. But if the weather is super nice and I feel like doing stuff and seeing things, I might just skip it. Same goes for the blog.

I’ve rarely felt a vacation to be so necessary. The past few months were really stressful, so I’m really looking forward to spending two weeks out of my routine. I hope for some relaxing hikes and a lot of good Italian food.

So if you’ve opened the page expecting a new comic, but this post is still the newest one, don’t worry. Regular uploads will resume on October 27 the latest (but might earlier).

Panel 1:
Crow-ttoney is on the phone with their detective, the swan.
C: You’ve been following them for two hours. Have they found the keys yet?
Panel 2:
S: No, and I don’t approve of their search strategy. I’ve never seen such inefficiency.
Panel 3:
Vulture and the leader of the alternative Chicken cult are looking around the area where F-law-mingo's car was vandalized.
D: We’ve been searching this area for two hours now, can you really not remember if you still had your keys when you left here?
G: Oh, I’m pretty sure I still had them.
Panel 4:
D: Why in the name of Martin are we searching them here then and not where you went afterwards?!
G: Because there’s much better light here.
