Description
Sorry this week's strip is a day late. I tried to get it pulled together in time, but the MSU con this past weekend threw me off a little. So the Isle of Terror is winding to a close as we make a drastic time jump forward following CM's epic skeleton punch last episode. Thanks to everyone who contacted me about getting "I punched a skeleton" t-shirts, etc. They are in the works. Stay tuned!TOACM TRIVIA:
-Dougy's coffee mug in panel 2 and 9 sport a piece of the logo of the excellent webcomic Superfogeys by Brock Heasley (and currently drawn by Marc Lapierre). Thanks to Brock for use of the logo!
-Note that in panel 2 CM is enjoying his favorite breakfast cereal, Righty-O's!
-The Squid-Girl poster we see in panel 4 and 9 was first seen back in TOACM #122 "Subtle" on 5/31/2011
-The artwork for the Squid-Girl poster is by the uncanny, Jay P. Fosgitt. You should go check out his webcomic Dead Duck, if you're not reading it already.
-GOOF: In panel 2 Dougy's shirt has bands on the ends of the sleeves, but in later panels it does not. Whoops! =o)
I hope you enjoyed this comic! If you did, please tell your friends via email, text, Facebook, Google+, Twitter or any social media outlet.
If you didn't like this comic, I'd love to know why. What didn't appeal to you? What would you like to see improved?
Thanks everyone! See you next week! Same checkered time, same checkered blog!
-Denver

Fine... Checkered can give me the signed poster. Don't need to change a thing.
Great strip!

=o) Whew! It's an abrupt cut away from "I punched a skeleton" to here, but I wanted to keep people on their toes and also bring this chapter to an end. When CM and Dougy discuss what happened after last week's strip [link] in panel 1-2 I feel like I could have done 3-4 more weeks of strips showing all that action, but I also felt it would be a little long in the tooth. Am I right/wrong? Thoughts?

You are right. I know for some
they might like the extended version.
But with comics they aren't novels so
you can "Meanwhile..." and jump ahead.
