Sorry for the delay.
My computer room AC puked it’s guts out,
and it got way too hot in here.
I had to wait until it cooled down after
midnight to finish the comic.
I’ve ordered a new one, it should(?) be here on Monday.
I’ll be working on the comic in the early mornings for a while.
Starting Monday’s page now. I really need to build up
a buffer again!
Good to know. I was a touch worried. I stuck my head in last
evening around 1930 and Wednesday’s strip was still up. I
understand about air conditioners. Our house is 27 years old
and we’re on our 3rd central air unit. Central air is very nearly
an absolute necessity here in South Texas.

I live in a Utah “high desert” (Salt Lake Valley),
so I use a swamp cooler. Had to do some major repairs
this past week, but it’s up and running just fine now.
And just in time. We went from pleasant 80s to upper 90s
in a heartbeat.
It’s too humid here for a swamp cooler to be ideal.
My current AC is a 5000 BTU window unit mounted
through the wall,
and it’s performance has been… marginal.
I can’t put a more powerful one in the opening.
So I bought a 12000 BTU portable.
That should keep the room cool!
Now I have to cut a hole in the wall for
the exhaust and condensate drain.
I have an oversized swamp cooler that, as you say,
doesn’t work as well as it could in a dryer climate,
but it does help in my very large garage here in
Central Texas.
Same here, sux that had to happen too. My father’s house has
central air, but our bedroom is the opposite end of the house
from the furnace, so we don’t get much cooling, so I had to buy
a window fan to draw the cooler air in and blow the warm air out.

I just had a thought, what if the raccoon is the one with
a transmitter?
A tracking device? A “robotic” coon maybe? weirder things…
(I don’t trust the filter 😛 )
I zoomed in, she’s looking over Miral’s left shoulder,
but you can still see Mist clinging to her head.
So she’s hidden from easy view from this angle.
Our cat has been (finally) been “fixed” and is recovering.
Poor thing was in heat for the last 4 months since she
had that miscarriage. She has became super-friendly
since she got home, I don’t know if it’s because of the
neutering or she’s just glad to be home! Hasn’t clawed
my leg once since I brought her home…
In my years as a shelter volunteer, I found that the vast majority
of cats that are suddenly dumped, abandoned, or just put outside
to fend for themselves, is at about the age of puberty, around
six months. Statisticians and researchers say that if an city or
county has a free neutering clinic, they can save much more than
the cost of the clinic with the reduced necessity of a city-run
shelter, and it also greatly reduces the number of animals who
end up being euthanized.
Interesting, someone has a micro-burst transmitter? Unless
it’s on one of Teresa’s Only, that’s really suspicious. I doubt
Teresa has been switched out for a double or an android,
her Only would notice the differences, plus Taritha would smell
and hear the changes. There’s no way an android could handle
an obstacle course, they don’t have that much dexterity.

I agree, yet! But they are the latest tech, and it took
Data’s creator his entire life, plus work done on the
cybernetics that lead up to a true android was started
3-4 generations of Soong’s before B4 was created.
I doubt there’s been enough time to make a human-
like android good enough to fool the observant.
You know Asimov invented the concept of the self-aware android.
There was even a fairly recent series of books about the original
development and the rise of Susan Calvin, the “robot psychologist”
that Asimov invented. And Data is said to have had a “positronic
brain,” another of Asimov’s inventions. That series of three books
is by Mickey Zucker Reichert, and is pretty interesting. It would,
of course, be a mistake to try to meld the time line in Azimov’s
book with The Gentle Wolf’s, but it should be noted US Robots
and Mechanical Men was founded in 1982.
Ah, but what if the switch took place after Teresa went into
the shower? And what if Her Own and Taritha were aware of it.
Then it might make sense. Of course, there would need to be
another sexta or two there in hiding, since the original ones
stayed with the troops. Now, all that said, I don’t think
that’s what happened. Or maybe it did.
We just get to wait on PC to clarify what’s going on.
A popular comic based on the life of one of the most
famous Catain on Earth… You know there’s going
to be a page where the author is tooting their own
horn. Miral needs more info before she’ll act, even
if it’s to question the PTB as to why she wasn’t asked!
IF the PTB did this,. then already answered.

Whew. I beat the heat, today’s page is up. My new A/C should
be here soon. Then I have to install the hoses and let it sit
upright for twelve hours to let the oil settle before I can
turn it on. Well, maybe tomorrow I’ll be cool.
Good to hear! That trailer is hot as all get-out, and
I don’t have the wiring finished yet. It’s only got a
20 amp service to it right now and there’s no way
I could run an AC and the equipment on that..
10 AWG x 3 wire isn’t cheap!
Maybe I should change my user name to Bob the Builder,
that roof was pain and I still have the ceiling to finish. Not
to mention the rip in the siding I’ve got to patch up…
When i moved into this place, I was lucky.
The breaker box had empty slots for circuit breakers,
so I added three 20 amp. One for my computer room,
one for my metal shop (Used to be a bathroom),
and one for my outdoor shed.
Do you have any empty slots in your breaker box
where you can add a 20-amp breaker or two?
Heh. My computer room has 40 double outlets
in panels along two walls,
I don’t think I’m going to run low on outlets!
Hitchhiker, Whicha the raccoon.

Wait!?…WHAT!? Panel 8. What is a raccoon (lower right corner)
doing clinging to the outside of a high flying (clouds) transport?
Screaming in terror, most likely.
Stupid thing seems to be obsessed with that fancy Locust!
You’d think it would have got the message when it spit that
coon out like a watermelon seed.
also,, Whicha is Native American for raccoon

I’m lost, where is Gopi riding? In the truck?
Behind Miral, far right.
the best one hiding.. Ladan.
tho it might be Nat & Estell
behind Brandt & Mavia.
B is getting a shoulder ride
on M..

jus sayin,, idea was in 1939,.
(by the book) established in 1972,.
and,, i can name lists of company’s
that came into their name years later.!
in this time line,, there at least 5
“human like” android (2), gynoid (3).
synthetic slave, starts at TGW-865.

And we still don’t know who is producing the graphic novels.
Or perhaps Miral did,
and will spring it on someone when she gets back to Jerico.
