Put chicken on page after comic ends

...what?

*snerk*

The small chicken that got cut out of that one panel? I'm going to put it on a page all by itself, down in a bottom corner. :) The story ends on a right-hand page, and it feels weird to me to start the omake stuff on a left-hand page, a bit too abrupt, so I've got a blank page looking for something to go on it, and I think the chicken is what's called for.

Chicken or chibi chicken?
When does this all need to be done by? I'm glad I'm not you tonight.

You'll just have to Wait and See!

All of the above but the actual submittal process has to be done Tuesday night. :)

Not so cool for you, but it means the book will be done soon and that makes me happy.

Ow! It's just a good thing you're SuperTelophase ... ("leaps tall deadlines in a single bound!").

You've got your proofreader standing by and everything?
