Hey, Your Nose is on Fire!

Folks:      Something seems to have happened to xepher.net, the site where I've been posting my comics for more than 20 years now. I've sent a note to Xepher, the guy in charge, but I haven't heard back from him. So I've uploaded the most recent couple pages to my old DeviantArt account, and I'll do that with the newer pages, too, until the old site returns.                                                                                                      ...

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      I'm starting to think that this whole "parallel universe" thing might be more trouble than it's worth...

The Terebinth Story Archive      She keeps saying it, folks, so I've gotta think that she really means it...

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      We first met Moira 20 years ago during our 15th storyline, " Shifting Sands ," and she's showed up here and there ever since.

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      That's prob'bly why I haven't spent 21 years telling stories about this particular universe.

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      There's always so much going on in these alternate universes! And all of it different!

The Terebinth Story Archive      I've said it before, and I'll say it again: it's always nice when everyone joins in the conversation.

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      That's my usual reaction to everything, actually, Steven. People are gonna start getting us confused...

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      "On with the fun" was something my grandmother would always say whenever the whole bunch of us would be heading out on any sort of a family outing. I'm not sure what percentage of these outings actually turned out to be fun, but the statement remains.

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      So next time, I guess we'll see if Malvolio can sum up a fair portion of the comics we did around here between 2006 and 2012 in fewer than a thousand words.

The Terebinth Story Archive      But if you hadn't come, Trudy, what would we have done for the past however many weeks around here?

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      We won't see what's what right this minute, of course: next week, though, I'm thinking...

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      It's always good to learn a trade...

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      I can't recall off the top of my head the last time I drew anyone in the Black Swan uniform let alone when I last drew Steven. He first appeared in the comic near the beginning of our 10th storyline, " Sons of the Black Swan ," just over 20 years ago, and became an integral part of things till our 54th storyline, " Totenfeier ," put something of an end to all that.      But I guess we'll be seeing how this version of Steven turned out over the next few weeks.

The Terebinth Story Archive      Judging by the reactions along the bottom there, Mrs. Burkiss, I've gotta say it looks like you're alone in your opinion...

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      That's the longest page we've had around here in quite some time, and it ends with a character we haven't seen in a while, too! Oh, these wacky parallel universes!

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      A daring escape!

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      It's never good when you wake up and see a cockroach. Even in this talking animal universe, apparently...

The Terebinth Story Archive      Oh, hey! There's Esther now, perched on Trudy's shoulder!      It's been awhile since we've see Trudy and Esther, so lemme link back to their most recent appearance on page 1,860 . Also, I had a few extra hours today since my radio program was largely preempted for Anteater Baseball. So I decided to put together a long-form ballade with the ten-line stanzas instead of the usual eight. It's probably a good thing that I have so little extra time...
