This is one of those strips that is based on real life. Granted, this doesn’t happen every time, but enough times to drive you batty. The kids will have an exciting day, running around and playing. On the way home they will knock out for a short nap–something the adults can’t do. Then, when we get home, we’re hopeful everyone will crawl into bed and sleep through the night…and the kids are wide awake. And not just wide awake, but recharged and hyper so they can’t sleep at all. So we end up half-asleep on the couch while they do their thing for hours. *deep sigh*

There is a lot more I want to comment on about the whole Rasterman storyline, and I’m going to do that during our Booyah next week. Though, I do want to mention (again) that Rasterman was one of our original characters, and the very first test strip we did was about him. It’s amazing to see him finally introduced all these months later.

Oh, and as for my computer woes. Truly, you would all think I was a troll if I was just a stranger on the forums! But, yet another minor hiccup (aside from part of my hard-drive being corrupted, which I reported about on the forums yesterday). Jim had built me a custom keyboard tray for my computer. Well, I came home today to find the kids had demolished it. The way it was/is setup makes it that I can’t just take the keyboard off and use it on the desk. I would have had to do it on my lap, which makes it impossible to do pixel art.

Certainly the gods have it out for me.

Thankfully Jim got up at 3:30 a.m. this morning to fix it.

See you all tomorrow with a new strip.
