West of Bathurst 1014

Link to first comic    Link to previous comic     Link to next comic     Link to last comic



Barring unforeseen circumstances, the Third Great WoB Extravaganza will begin on Monday, January 23rd and continue until Sunday, February 5th. During this period, a West of Bathurst comic will be posted every day instead of every two days. Newcomers to the strip should note that I owe you guys five such Extravaganzas, which served as incentives during my participation in last summer's Clarion Write-a-Thon (I promised one for every $200 raised). It is unlikely that I'll be able to get to numbers 4 and 5 before the summer term, but they are coming; I haven't forgotten about them. At the moment, the worst of the marking hasn't yet started. I didn't announce the Extravaganza earlier because I do have another project (an online course I'm authoring) I need to be working on now, and I wasn't sure I would have enough time for two weeks' worth of daily comics. Luckily, I have already completed quite a bit of the work on the comics and am thus ready to go.

Panel 2: The screen now shows a picture of Buffy Summers stabbing Edward Cullen with a stake.

Barbara: I am simply going to regard you with grief and disappointment, like so:


Panel 3: Barbara looks at her students with big, sad eyes as a tear slides down her cheek.

Panel 4:

Student: The single tear was a nice touch.

Barbara: I thought so too.

Alt-Text: A lot of damage can be done with a frowny face and a single tear.
