I hope everyone's had a great Christmas day. I had a pretty good one. The new comic goes up tomorrow. It's a good one and trust me, something actually happens after this page. :) More next time.

Well, tomorrow is Christmas Eve (comic is still going up!) and seeing as I'm a retail wage slave AND I'll be at work tomorrow I thought it appropriate to say a few words on the subject of Christmas in retail. I'd like to say a few words to all of you. Not as people, but as customers. I'd like to remind you that during this time of "joy" and "peace" and "harmony" that there is a simple rule to remember. You get better service when you are a better person. You seen, people complain about the service in stores during this time of year. They say that we're rude and short and that we act like we don't want to give you the time of day. Well, that is mostly true, but you get what you give. Every year we are treated like something worse than farm animals. We are treated like dirt on Christmas Eve because you decided to wait until the last minute and thought you'd be all right. You get angry because we sold out of that new toy in mid-Dec...

First, comments are down on the site due to bandwidth issues so if you'd like to comment, you can head over to the Drunk Duck mirror site , or you can post in the forums . I strongly suggest the forums so they'll be active! Go on! Register! They won't bite! Hey folks! Big, big, big, big, big thank you to JT and Scott for getting the quact running again on my site. You guys always go above and beyond for me here and I appreciate it. If you haven't heard the news, Errant Apprentice has been one of the featured comics over on Drunk Duck this week. Hits went through the roof over there! Big thanks to all the new readers. Anyway, the update goes live tomorrow morning here and on DD so check it out then. I'm off. Later.

Currently there are some problems here at Nightgig. While this is going on I'm unable to update Errant Apprentice on this site. Until the problems are solved you'll have to go to my Drunk Duck Mirror Site to get the updates. Schedule is the same. Hopefully Scott and JT and the guys will have this worked out soon. For once, I have faith in the admins of a webcomic site! Imagine that! Anyway, the comic did in fact update so go check it out.

That's right! I got the comic done very very early for Sunday so you all get an extra update! I don't know if I can keep this up considering what may be coming up but I'll update the comic as often as possible. Tuesday and Sunday are still my update days, but if I can get more done in a week I will. No promises though.

Update goes live in the morning and I pose the same question here as on Drunk Duck. People have shown an interest in EA going color. I decided the first two pages would go color like they do in some manga, but my plan has been to go back to B&W with page three. I think that B&W has a certain character to it and I know several others feel these way. Now, I pose the question to you. Should Errant Apprentice go color or stay black and white? Please respond to this post and leave your thoughts.
