I’ve spoiled myself with coloring the strips for the longest time now. I’m really not happy with not coloring the last batch, but time has been kinda cramped with the weather being so nice and all the outside work I’m doing. We built the outside tiki bar today and the whole “chill” area is looking great. I think I have also been bitten by the “I want to cook stuff over fire” bug. It must be some primal instinct to grill things over fire and eat them.

I had a funny run in with the number 13 today, for those that know I’m amused by my Triskaidekaphobia– we barely loaded the tiki bar’s box into the mini van and it was VERY heavy and the stockboy and myself muscled it in there– when we finally got it lifted all the way up and in, I move my hand where I hade been pushing and there’s a giant green sticker that says “Patio collection #13″ and the 13 was big. I didn’t burn the box yet, so I might take a photo of it so you can see how ironic and in my face it was. I called my wife out of the front seat to come around and see it and laugh. I may be crazy, but boy does that number come up a lot here. Make note of this historically and for the record if I am ever mauled by like a pack of 13 mad cows or something.

In uploading the files, I noticed this is like the 453rd Yirmumah online strip. 500 is closing in soon. Man, how time flies. It’s nothing compared to what some of those other webcomic guys have tallied up for themselves, but still, it feels good to watch them grow. What will it be when I’m like 80? Something like 13,550 or such.

I’ll likely be knee deep in shipping orders out all day today and tomorrow. I’ll report back when all the packages are all sent out and all that jazz. Thanks again for being patient! OH! and hey, if you want to buy issues 1-3 individually, you’d better do so by Friday, because I’m thinking of making them into a gift pack of the first three issues in one sort of thing to make it a little easier on me. I’ll still likely sell individual copies if someone asked though. BLARG! Back to work for me.
