Another teaser page, this is something that I would put a "dedicated in loving memory to my baby" underneath if I were to print it in a book (which I may do). However, I think instead I may instigate the rivalry that her and I have going and just simply put "Plus One."

It's a personal joke, but if you remember the very first page of @$$hole, I mention a competition between Laura and myself over who loves who more. Well, since that time we've come to the conclusion that "plus one" trumps anything that another person could say. Because no matter what they say, you're going to be that thing "plus one."

Well, I'd have a printed book to back up my statement, so..."plus one, baby!"

Cover will post on Friday, and the story will begin next week. Enjoy!

PS: I would really love a bumper sticker that says this....

Here's the cover. Note that red is Laura's favorite color. Get ready for some fun times, starting up on Monday!

I wrote this story when I was working hella hours at the office, not leaving until 7pm every night for 3 months (something my account team tells me they also did, but I don't believe a single thing they say - since only lies spew forth from their filthy fucking mouths. Note my bitterness towards them).

In any case, it was always a nice thing to come home and be able to work on the comic (although there were a few nights where I wouldn't come home until midnight or later...I hadn't worked on any comics for 3-5 days straight at one point).

Please note that in order to take place on Laura's 21st birthday, this story will be taking place in March 2008 (even though it's currently February, and it will continue after March).

Conflict established, time to tell some jokes....
