SIT-REP: I had a day off and was looking forward to using it to catch up on comics. I slept through half of it and worked through the other half and it still wasn’t enough for me to get my shit together. I nearly killed myself trying to get two comics done in one week for the newspaper. One almost didn’t make it due to offending two different editors and now I’m worried that any more comics I make for them will require committee approval, which will require me to take up alcoholism. The other was kept web-only and got exactly one Facebook like, from the newspaper itself. This is in contrast to the TWELVE likes given to the STUPID cat meme image I made them for the feed as an afterthought. I don’t know what I’m doing, and I don’t know why I’m doing it. The only thing that makes me happy is the goddamned Chat pages and all I want in life right now is both the time and energy to work on them. I don’t necessarily miss my old job but Christ do I miss the free time I had to do what I wanted. How the idea of a “full time job” got established as some kind of badge of honor I have no idea and I hate it.
Okay, rant over. Everyone back to your lives, try this space again Monday. I’ll try to get an extra up for a Thursday update.
P.S: APE was okay.
OPENING SALVO!
Yom Kippur and the Alternative Press Expo falling on the same weekend means the end of my sanity and no grayscale for you today. I’ll add it this weekend. In the meantime, however, I find the stark contrast of black and white rather striking in this case!
There’s more cartoons coming up at J. Weekly, but they’re really just glorified high-holiday greeting cards and I don’t know how much you’ll care for them. Plus, there’s no permanent updating address for them and no real way to link them. We need a new website like YESTERDAY.
Other than that, new page on Thursday unless otherwise noted!
Did Angechat throw her halo? She’s probably gonna want that back.
Also, is it horrible that I want to do this to Lolo?

Ahaha I love C&H.
Lolo’s quite diligent on the personal hygiene front, so I imagine she would indeed have one of the smoothest, sleekest, softest kitty bellies around.
Of course, she’d also cauterize your face if you tried that. 🙂
No worse than what Hobbes would do then! 🙂
Looks to me as if the halo is still around her shoulder, and she’s somehow using its power to, first, remove some of the coal dust, and second, power up some sort of “white lightning”. I never imagined Ange was that powerful! Despite her youth and innocence, she seems to be close to Lolo herself in magical power… so how powerful does that make Etoile… or the Janitor?!
Well, we’ve never actually seen her test her power, and she’s already asserted that she’s never been taught to fight, so I imagine this moment is as much a shock to her as it is to you!
She sure is quite the little superheroine! (It’s amazing to find out what you can do when you really *need* to…)
The comic being black/white fits with the amount of energy released by Angechat. This flash blinds you sufficiently to become blind for greyscales.
Also love the shot panel-frames.
Is Lolo really willing to cross the big-boss by punishing Demonchat herself?
And what else will this flash of light attract?
Will the big boss recognise such a lightstream? (Or his head still stuck in the tuna?)
Oh, this is a fascinating turn. Go Angelchat!
You okay, girl?
Have you tried re-formattign Chat to be newspaper suited?
Our local newspaper tried to publish a comic once, from a local guy. In the beginning he got paid nothing, but when the storyline developped, he attracted more readers and got paid. Once the storyline was such that beginning from the start became necessary, he left of his own devices, as the newspaper format is not really good for ongoing stories.
Anyway: don’t fret over a comic for Thursday next week. If Monday’s comic appears Thursday, I’ll be more than happy enough!
