The light at the end of the tunnel was, in fact, a train

So I finally figured out what’s wrong with my scanner, and it’s a hardware problem. Luckily I just bought it so Canon is happy to send a replacement scanner, but that means no updates until at least early next week, and that’s assuming that their delivery system is actually as quick as they say it is. My apologies again, here’s hoping that I’ve built up enough credibility over almost 10 years of rambling about comics that you know I’ll be back as soon as possible. In the meantime, hey, I am still selling comics, so you could just buy some of them to fill the void. This extra free time means that I’ll be able to ship them out probably the day that you order them at the moment…
