The Daily Grind Table of Contents      Of course, we're not quite "over" here since we've got one more, extra-long installment on Friday, but you can't read these comics on a walkie-talkie anyway. So it all balances out, doesn't it?

KUCI's Occasional Fund Drive!

The Radio Station:      Where I host my program every Sunday afternoon from 4 till 6 is a college radio station. And while some of us haven't actually been college students in decades, we're still welcomed with open arms or the equivalent as long as we adhere to the principles that make KUCI the magical sonic landscape that it is.      I won't bore you with all the intricate details, but one of the things that goes on now and then at the station is the Fund Drive. I've been there long enough to have participated in them all, and now, here I am, participating in this one, too!      From now till next Monday, May the 25th, by going to the website , you'll be prompted to make a series of clicking motions.

The Terebinth Story Archive      Don't complain too much, there, Millie, unless you've suddenly found another word in English that rhymes with "enlarged"...      In case anyone wants to keep track, though, here are the pages where Kestrel, Terpsichore, and Ludmilla have show up previously to act as narrators: page 1,771 , page 1,784 , page 1,787 , page 1,799 , page 1,833 , and page 1,851 . As for Terry there, well, we haven't seen our title character in the comic since page 1,769 , just over two years ago. So much history!

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      I think I've pointed interested readers to Book IX: Rhapsody not that long ago since that's where Steven and the Nulla Lucis had their final face off in the main universe. Just so we can all be on the same page...
