Happy Canada Day, everybody! Namir Deiter is back. We're sorry about the delays. It was a wide variety of minor issues, and we're sorry it got us off track. Donors have been given an extra three weeks to make up for the two week outage. Comics are updating. Sketches and commentary are caught up over at NamirDeiter.net and life is good.

05.28.2013 - Terrence Marks:

Thank you for your patience, everybody! We've got a new nephew! He's healthy. He's about five days old now. We're sorry about the delay, but as you know, babies do not observe anyone's schedule. We hope you had a great Memorial Day weekend.

Isabel contributed art to Sunday's Precocious! Go check it out! Or, better yet, read that storyline from the beginning.

You Say it First got reviewed over at Fanboy Comics! They had some nice things to say about the comics, and you should go read it!

03.17.2013 - Terrence Marks:

Back when You Say it First was ending, we had a lot going on. Two of the comics got posted in black and white. We don't like doing that, but sometimes it's a choice between black and white now or colored much later. The comics are now colored. You can see them here and here.

03.11.2013 - Terrence Marks:

Yes, you heard right. Namir Deiter and Wonderkittens are updating Monday through Friday this week. We don't know how many weeks she can keep it going for, but enjoy the extra comics!

We've been back a few weeks and you're all asking, what happened on our trip that we can relate to the comics?

No, really. You're all asking that.

We had a layover in Phoenix. In addition to the usual overpriced snacks, and beverages they had a small section for local flavors. In Phoenix, this means Cactus Candy.

I had to get it. Not to eat it. I'm kind of afraid of it, to be honest. Back when I mentioned cactus candy in You Say it First, I had no idea that such things existed. I had just been listening to a lot of Jacques Dutronc and the idea of cactus flavorant being surprisingly popular amused me.

I was going to joke about how they got the idea from me, but according to the copyright date on the box, this stuff has been around since before I was born.

So, how are they? A lot like lemon gumdrops, except with a bit more lemon and a little less gummyness. Cactus juice is the sixth thing on the ingredient list. I'm going to assume that the cactus-flavored jellybeans had a lot more cactus flavor to them.

02.06.2013 - Terrence Marks:

We're back. What have we been up to? Weddings. Isabel's sister got married, and my brother got married.

Firstly, no. Not to each other. We were involved in two weddings - seven days and three thousand miles apart.

Secondly, we're sorry that we didn't have a chance to work ahead; we spent the previous month preparing for the weddings and generally being of assistance. There was more work to be done than we had anticipated. The good news is that everything went well. I have a new sister-in-law. She has a new brother-in-law. We wish them the best, of course.

Thirdly, Isabel did many random comics while we were out. We hope you enjoy them.

We've had a long day. We're still operating on Eastern time. So now we sleep.
