Comics Comics!

I drew a comic last night, but I had to draw it by candle light because my power got shut off.  Apparently our meter and the meter for the vacant unit next door were mislabeled, so I sat in the dark all night while the etherial spirits that dwell next door enjoyed the luxury of artificial light.  Someone from the electric company did come out around 11pm, but we couldn’t get a hold of our building’s maintainence guy which meant we couldn’t get into the electric closet… the whole thing was a mess.  I did, however, enjoy when the electrician tried to jimmy open the closet door with a screw driver.  That’s exactly the kind of quality work I’d expect from a utility worker.  Ultimately, it didn’t pay off.  There were bolts on the top and bottom of the door as well as the handle lock.  It’s almost as though they don’t want people breaking into it.

In any case, the lack of power made it difficult to scan and ink the comic.  I diverted the last of my laptop’s battery power toward charging my phone so we could call the various people that would eventually get the power back on around 8am this morning.  So the story has a happy ending.  Power just in time for me to make some coffee before work.  Coffee I intend on enjoying right now.  So, I’ll probably post a new comic tonight.  It’s hilarious.  I assure you of that.
