MASSIVE Sqwertz

What’s all this?!

The indirect result of the British Airlines strike which cancelled a flight intended to get me home in time.

Today’s scheduled strip will be delayed a week and replaced with this special retroactive strip set in the jumpcut between the events of strip 4 and strip 5 (The as-yet-unnamed massive Sqwertz has recently failed to blend in with the Sqwertzberry picking expedition – but is not yet tied to the ground with a thousand tiny ropes).

Rest assured that I probably won’t ever have to pull this kind of “experimental” (unneccesary) time-shifting again but 1) I have to give you something good by deadline if I want to keep my committment, 2) I really want you to see today’s scheduled strip in it’s fully illustrated glory 3) I can admit I probably dropped a beat by failing to write this fun scene in originally.

The above was drawn on a red eye flight between Dallas and Frankfurt, photographed on my iPhone and uploaded with only 28 minutes to spare. Fun! Once I’m de-lagged this will be illustrated as a regular strip and tucked into the appropriate reading order.

UPDATE: The above promise has been fulfilled. If you’re keen to see the original #5 – The SQWERTZ of our worries, look no further.
