You're right about Tango and Catreece sharing Tango's Happy Box - they don't both fit. Catreece just decided that's where she wanted to be, and Tango decided he wasn't going to be pushed out. It didn't last, but it was cute.

As for why it's easier to put up a filler Faux Pas than a regular storyline strip: the filler uses recycled art from previous strips, so there's no drawing or inking or scanning or composition work to do; there's no backgrounds to speak of in the filler strips; there's no shading, just flat colors... all in all, there's a LOT less work involved. The reason I bother putting up a temp strip is because some folks (like a brother I could name) seem very disappointed when there's only an "excuse" strip online. At least if I'm telling a dumb joke, it doesn't seem quite so lame as Why We're Not Online Right Now.

If I were a better artist, and/or faster, we'd never have to miss a regular strip. I'm working on it, I promise!

As before: we'll plan to chat Sunday evening, 5pm your time. Enjoy the day and the rest of the week, and we'll be in touch.

Cheers!
