| Well, I've got a new scanner. Hurrah. I apologise for the delay; I had to finish today's comic while invigilating a three-hour exam. With luck, the next comic will be up more or less on time. |

| Holiday Header: It's
snowing. The words "West of Bathurst by Kari Maaren" are right in the
middle of the scene, which unfolds as follows: 1) Marie slaps her hands
across her mouth as 2) Casey, who is facing her, begins to look around
towards 3) Rahim, who has just hurled a snowball at Casey's head while
4) Barbara is on the verge of beaning Rahim from behind with a much
bigger snowball. Panel 1: Somewhere in Davies College, Rahim is standing talking to Marie. Baldwin comes up behind Casey. Casey: Well...I'm leaving for Ireland tomorrow. Marie: Oh...okay. Panel 2: Baldwin sidles around to peer up at Casey. Casey: Have a good Christmas. Marie [eyes narrowed]: You too. Casey: I'll see you in a few weeks. Marie: Uh-huh. Panel 3: Baldwin is right in between Casey and Marie. Casey: ...May we help you? Panel 4: Baldwin: I was hoping the veneer of politeness would shatter, and there would be screaming. Marie: We can scream at you if you like. Alt-Text: The thing about Baldwin is that not only does he not take the hint, he KNOWS he is not taking the hint, and he revels in the fact.
