Time travel isn’t really special. By the time you finish reading this, I’ll already be in the future.

The ol bus stop. Where epiphanies always happen.

Thanksgiving/Logan’s Birthday 2019
For those of you who don’t know, Thanksgiving is one of Logan’s favorite holidays. He says it’s because he gets to eat a lot but I think it’s because it falls near his birthday. Sometimes it happens ON his birthday, and this year is… not one of those years.
But I’m going away for Thanksgiving and needed a way to cut down on the amount of prep work I’d need to do so… Happy BIRTHSGIVING LOGAN!
336-We Keep Our Promises

(Illustrator’s Note):
Ca’t really take dredit for this strip. All the work was done ahead of time.
335-Maternal Love
(Author’s Note):
Kudos to Taylor for refining the dialogue at the end here. I couldn’t have done better myself.
(Illustrator’s Note):
Despite having a joke at the end, you really have to put yourself into Ma’s place when drawing a strip like this.
334-Missing You
(Author’s Note):
I missed my wife once. She did not make the same mistake as she has better aim than I do.
(Illustrator’s Note):
No joke. I totally missed those posters when reading the script.
323-Okie Dokie
(Author’s Note):
This is our first attempt at a cross-chapter carryover meta-storyarc. Expect disaster.
(Illustrator’s Note):
How did they get bandages on them?
322-Super Skooled Origins: ???
(Author’s Note):
What’s in a name?
Letters. Duh.
(Illustrator’s Note):
Help Frankie out, here. What other names can you come up with?
321-Super Skooled Origins: Lampshade
(Author’s Note):
Curiosity placed the cat in a position where it wished that it didn’t have to use the healthcare system.
(Illustrator’s Note):
Kinda weird seeing Liz without glasses.
320-Event Horizon
(Author’s Note):
We cut this chapter short because I ran out of ideas. There’s only so many ways to make jokes about, “hurr durr, parents, amirite?”
(Illustrator’s Note):
This chapter ends up being a little shorter than usual. We decided we really wanted to split up the focus on the parent-teacher conferences and what’s about to happen next.
Inktoberween 2019
Happy Octoberween, everybody!
This year I decided to include the comic in “Ink-Blot-tober.”
Instead of doing “Inktober” where artists challenge themselves to do one small and easy drawing every day of the month, I take part in absolutely tormenting myself by committing to entire complex multi-level digital illustrations multiple times per week. Everything is done in the old “Inkblot/Rubber Hose” cartoon style, and always with a sort of ragtime/creepy/spooky feel to match with both the feel of the old 1920s cartoons and the fact that it works with October being Halloween month.
Since I started doing this three years ago, I’ve been wanting to add Super Skooled into the mix and while I still haven’t achieved my dream of Ink-Blot-ifying an actual strip (Due to being close to the end of the chapter,) At least I can include you in the enjoyment of seeing rubber-hose Brad and Draco.
I suppose this doesn’t actually have the most Halloween-ish feel to it but Draco is dressed as a mad scientist and Brad is clearly wearing a costume, so… I’m counting it.
