Proof God Exists!

When I tell you the trouble I've had this week finishing a strip for Woods for the Trees you will believe, like I now believe, in the supreme deity....you will also believe he's a bit of a dickhead.

So, think back to Sunday night. I was sat there, sketch pad on my lap, ready to draw Monday's new strip - eager and with a lightly-stoned smile on my face. It was a pretty good strip to draw, I was looking forward to the big reveal of the mini-story and doing it justice....but before I did that I decided that I fancied some rarebit (cheese on toast for the non-Welsh among us) as a treat for being so extra specially awesome.

This is when God struck the first time. As I was cutting a lovely piece of cheddar my finger slipped on the knife, and through some weird glitch in the space-time continuum that I can only presume was his influence, the knife flipped around and sliced a decent size chunk out of my finger.

The rarebit did not survive.

So that was two days of not being able to draw, taking us to Tuesday. Where my scanner, once again I presume under his influence, refused to work. Not just work, but recognise. I tried restarts, I tried reinstalling drives, I tried every bloody thing but to no avail....but I've bored enough people enough times with stories of my scanner being a cheap piece of....wait, what if it's listening? It's great! Never breaks! (can't be too sure....)

Then the finale, the grand reveal of God the Dick. Finally last night, I got the strip ready, the scanner decided to work (maybe Jupiter was correctly aligned with Saturn or some shit, I dunno) and all systems were go. My finger was poised over the "send data" button on my FTP program and then - router fail. I almost expected God to show up at the window with a troll face.

So what is this incessant whining about you ask? Nothing really....just trying to show that when Woods for the Trees doesn't update, it's not necessarily just because I'm a lazy bastard with Swiss cheese for a brain.

And to those who don't believe my story I ask only this...if I'm lying then that means I didn't do the strip because I'm lazy....and would a lazy person write all this crap? Of course he would, I did....but that doesn't mean it's not all true.
