While I'm Thinking About It

And now, a programming note

Obviously, TRU-Life Adventures is not a strip that progresses in real time. After all, the past two weeks of strips have covered maybe ten minutes, tops. A lot of strips are like that, they take place in the eternal "now," and skip bunches of time between story arcs.

A run of the mill evil cartoonist would spend the next year and a half or so covering every possible moment between now and "next Friday." The truly diabolical would skip the whole thing, pointing out the unwritten rules that limit the strip to one particular setting. Fortunately, that ship sailed a long time ago.

Starting Monday, there will be a week of silly retail humor. After that, The Biggest Story I Have Ever Attempted.
