Dispute over Dinner
PaulEberhardt on July 4, 2013
Hi, everyone! Any rumours about my untimely passing away have been greatly exaggerated; I'm back again!
I guess I'll never get used to apologising for my lateness all the time, but I'm pretty close. Anyway: sorry! The past few weeks were eaten up by a number of special tasks that kept me away from my drawing table, as a matter of fact I was hardly home at all. However, I think I have at least two really good excuses. Firstly, last week my oldest and best friend married, and I directed my skills at drawing and pyrography towards making an appropriate present for the young couple. Then (which has got to be the best excuse ever) I decided to write down all the ideas for this comic that have been going around in my head, lest they fade from my memory before I have a chance to draw them. As a result I produced twelve densely printed pages in font size 10. Since my scripts tend to be a lot more stenographical than my author's comments, and from past experience I know that each page means something between 3 and 6 comic pages (or more!). And new ideas keep rushing in all the time. I thought I should mention this to reassure you that despite my recent long absences this comic is far from over. More likely it'll just run on until death do us part. ;)
Well, this filler page should speak for itself. I'm frantically working on the next update, which will probably go online some time next week. After that, I might even return to my schedule. Really, I think so.
Have a nice weekend, and thanks for reading and commenting!
By the way, Happy 4th of July to all my American friends! (The discovery at age 6, when I visited the States with my parents, that there is a place where you can get fireworks in summer is a fond childhood memory of mine.) :)
Oh, incidentally: Free sketch of your choice to the first one to identify the mangled quote in the first paragraph of these author's comments! (unless you're my Mum; she'll get one anyway, if she wants to ;))

Lol, why, doesn't everyone want to eat prey just like a tiger? Anyway, glad you're able to keep posting whenever you can.

Finished all the pencils today. However, I'm not at home for most of the weekend, so please bear with me yet a little while longer. Probably until Tuesday. Sorry about that, but I can't help it right now.

Thank you, everyone! @Kim: Don't worry, I shall not quit until the pencil drops from my cold stiff fingers. :) / I just dropped in to tell you I'm sorry for the delay. I was held up because I hurt my wrist in a sports accident last week. It was just a minor injury, though, and I'm again busy drawing the new page. See you soon, and thanks in advance for your patience.

Poor Tiger just wants Sophie to share.

Horsemeat for dinner... just buy frozen Lasagne :D So funny! I love those small details, like nails flying from the horseshoe, when Sophie digs in ;D

Take your time, just don't quit altogether :) haha Tiger's thought balloon is awesome - I bet that's what animals often think when we tell them they can't have something
