Thanks for being patient! Here's Episode 264. All it took was a little brute force (mechanical elbow grease, if you will) to get this escape rolling! Perhaps a little less brute force would've yielded better results, but beggars can't be choosers. As luck would have it, a certain popsicle-in-training happens to be very close by.
I really appreciate you folks sticking with me these past few months. I know it's frustrating to have the story crawl like this. I figure this is preferable to letting work get the better of me like it did during the 2006 hiatus. I'm working hard to get the pages out a little faster every update, but it's been challenging. I hope you're still digging it.
I've been playing Mother 3 on my breaks at work. It's exciting to finally get the chance to jump back into the EarthBound universe, since Itoi has a knack for making extremely funny and weird games. This is also the first RPG I've played in years, because... who has time for RPGs anymore? 80-hour epics are just too much of a time-sink these days. It takes something really special to make me want to overcome that hurdle. I was surprised with how emotionally engaging it's been. Even though it's been said that this will be the last game in the Mother series, I hope he's still planning on doing other games. Even if it takes another 12 years.

I am pretty sure I would drive anyone attempting to work with me nuts, because I have a tendency to be a perfectionist. They'd probably kill me within a week, maybe two, tops.

Don't worry, I'm not completely dead... just mostly dead. I really got knocked on my ass this past week, it's the first time I've been really sick in a few years. From the sound of it, it's been going around the Bay Area like wildfire... maybe the flu? I dunno, but it sucks! Here's a preview of a few panels from the next page, though!
Also, I will try to think up some some silly porn this week with my fevered brains.

May in Ruby's body makes it even hotter.
*(Ruby in May's body is cold though.) (Real cold.) (In a fridge cold.) (Or is a freezer cold?)(Cold.)*

Hi GD, I know that I nitpicked one of your comics but I just wanted to mention again how great I think your comic and your art is and I always look forward to each and every new one. Keep up the good work!

Zerodin, do you like Ctrl+Alt+Delete by any chance? Your line of reasoning leads me to think you do.
GD, keep being a reasonable person and listening to criticism and evaluating your work.

It's fine, I'm open to suggestions and critiques. I still say that there's nothing wrong with a polar reference, but upon second reading, I decided I didn't really like the original line anyhow.

GD, it's YOUR comic.
Why are you changing to please a nit picker?
If someone asked me "Why does it say that, it's Earth centric!" my reply would without any doubt be, "Because FUCK you! That's why!"

While not technically Earth-centric (every planet has poles), I changed it to something a little more universal. Because, that's how I roll.

Yeah, the earth-reference does sound a little odd coming from Ruby. I've noticed that GD sometimes seems to have trouble with literary voice in his comic, but overall the writing is interesting and funny, so who cares? :3

I'm not sure if I'd call it a purely earth reference.
Given that planets have to spin on a specific axis, and due to planetary rotation around their sun, it would be nigh impossible for either of a planet's poles to not be colder than a witch's tit.

I think Mai should dictate terms to Ruby!
Tell her to collaborate her story to Riku, and to get her an autographed photo of George Takei's Armenian sidekick Judo Lenny!
