Ah Larry-clueless and confident as always.
It’s nice to see that Stephanie and Robespierre are getting some much needed rest. They’ve earned it.
But poor Eleanor! Will she be alright? Is she alright anyway, and just fooling poor Anya?
Only time, and your humble author, will tell…
Oh Wow!
Damnit she may be an objectionable character, but it’s a sign of your writing talent that we’ve got sympathy for her.
Stephanie and Robespierre…Beautiful!
You doing a “Christmas Special”this year Charlie?
And would it be Ok if I send a one, provided I can get it done in time.
I did a Christmas special for another strip, and they’re doing one for me.
I also have some really cool guest art coming up.
And I would love to have another drawing from you, Mike! Bring it on!
And all it took was a little bit of cancer.
Oh dear. The symptoms are tangible after all. Eleanor may rub me the wrong way, but after everything she did to help fix matters with Robie, it makes me a sad to see her like this. If the tumor is putting pressure on her brain, she’s probably suffering from blurred/double vision, splitting headaches, exhaustion, confusion, fever, acute loss of appetite, and a host of other bodily unpleasantness as her body begins to gradually shut down on her. I know she’ll survive, but as of now? Yeah, she’s got my sympathy.
I do think on why Eleanor does not want the Doctor called. She knows that her MD would have her hospitalized immediately if not sooner. She knows that if that happens, she WILL die.
Hang up Larry.
Larry is talking to Edison…
Yeah. It looks very painful. I’d hate to have something like that.
And Eleanor has always prided herself on her brainpower. To have this attacking the very center of her self-hood, as it were, must be terrible.
If it really is.
What a development. The ‘future’ that we have seen is NOT set. It is but one possible future. There could be one where Eleanor does not make it.
Painful, yes, but possible.
You said it. Possibilities abound. I can say no more.
Another fantastic page, Charlie. There’s so much to like here I don’t know where to start. Definitely the “cuddles panel”, but Eleanor, man.
Thanks, Andy. I wanted to make a “breather” page between all the stuff at work.
And I ended up drawing all the major characters (except Reade) in one strip! I’m glad you like it.
Stephanie took forever, but she was fun to draw. She and Robie had a very busy day.
Awww. Stephanie and Robespierre look so cute each sleeping with their favorite cuddle-toy. Robie looks so contented, and Steph’s hair is curling again….
“Only time, and your humble author, will tell.” HAH! Good luck with that! our “humble author” doesn’t tell, he just drops the bombshell, chuckles softly to himself an goes off to arm and set the timer on the next one–that’s why we love him so much. 🙂
(And didn’t I tell you that people would be singing your praises?)
How come my hats don’t fit anymore?
Thank you, Delta-v.
But wait, who DID Anya call, the one whose line is busy..?
Reading the last panel and Larry’s words, gave me a chilling flashback.
A friend of mine was not feeling all that well, he was looking for a doctor.
Seeing how it was noon, I was not all that helpful. I did not know of any civilian doctors. I left him with these words, Don’t worry, you be ok, you will find one, maybe tomorrow.
He passed away that night. I have regretted those words ever since.
That has to weigh heavily on you – I feel bad for you. It wasn’t your fault, you had no way to really know – but the guilty “I should have done more” clings hard. Time will wear away the edges of it, I hope.
I think you said it best, Tru. What a terrible situation. I’ve been there myself. It’s not your fault, but it does weigh heavily nonetheless.
Out of the frying pan, into the fire! Oh no! Is Eleanor going to be okay? This can’t be her tumor already, can it?!
Maybe. Who knows how long she’s had it? She may have taken a long time to tell everyone.
If, that is, she really does.
Maybe Eleanor’s brain is preggers…
Just so you know, melaredblu has been doing a SERIES of one-a-day Princess Chroma holiday sketches, chock full of her trademark humor and cameos, lots of cameos. Spread the word.
How right you are! Quick, click on the link to your right-melaredblu is doing a great Christmas story, and it’s chock-full of cameos. Why, there’s one from Groovy, Kinda in today’s strip.
Saw it, loved it.
Nuff said.
Well, you coulda said “Hello” while you were there. Remember, melaredblu is a regular here, so she knows you. 🙂
And there is another batch of cameos two pages earlier.
Hi Delta-v, sorry about that. But seeing that it was 3am and was the last thing I saw before turning off computer . . . .
well I Forgot!!!! ok?
Hehe, I was actually just teasing you a bit, but never forget that comments are light and air to a comic creator, and it really makes their day.
And I saw the nice comment you left, so everything turned out great. 🙂
Thank you.

A Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!
