You gaze at the above comic, wondering “Say, what happened to the exciting adventures of Fish and Norm in the weird, arcane world of the Sock-Suckers?

So I ask myself, “Self, what can I throw up there on the ol’ monitor?” Not being a split personality, I get no reply. So I decide for now to break off from the Sock-Suckers tale, instead treating my hordes of loyal readers to my immortal tale: Plan Nine From Vortox! This thrilling story is complete (having been published in 1994 by MU Press), thus bringing certain advantages:

1: I don’t have to draw anything new (a major advantage right there).

2: The online publishing schedule shall be updated to three times a week (Monday, Wednesday, & Friday).

3: And thirdly,

4: Millions of potential readers who have never seen this exciting tale of Vortoxian scheming will finally be able to catch up on things, enabling them to live full rich lives once again! If you are one of the five or six people who already bought the book, well, er-umm.
