And here’s hoping that that doesn’t give my computer the idea of going up in smoke, like it did during last year’s holiday.

Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!

Instead, let us all bask in the warm glow of a Microsoft update that takes well over an hour.

UPDATE: And then fails.

The print collection that has been an unconscionably long time in coming has finally arrived!

Three hundred cartoons originally distributed for free on the internet, now available for purchase on paper! What a strange world we live in….

Available here.

So, for those of you who read CheapCaffeine on a desktop computer or something else which presents it in a size bigger than your palm…

Is the comic big enough?  I’m looking around at other popular webcomics, and I realize that they often present their comic at 50% to 100% bigger than I do.

Not that I’m all anxious about size, you understand, I just… Maybe I’d better end this right here.

Of necessity, the vacation will continue — “necessity” in this case being that my computer started whining about “imminent hard drive failure” on Thursday.  All my files are safe thanks to backups, but I need to wait until my new computer arrives to reinstall graphics programs, font managers, etc.  Your patience is of course appreciated.
