(EDIT: I tweaked the first panel dialogue a bit to make their reasoning here a little clearer.)
I don't usually take breaks from updating for the holidays, but this year I could really use the time to catch up on some other projects, as well as working ahead on pages a bit. So I'll post the next comic page on January 5 - which is the comic's 14th anniversary, incidentally. I may have some artwork to post for the next two Fridays...
I am sorry for the dialogue cliffhanger there. What do you think of their predicament, in the meantime? Have they figured out the mystery? Or are they getting scared over fairy stories?
