Scrawlixes are those symbols you see coming from off frame in the last panel, showing that there is some swearing going on but keeping everything nice and family-friendly for GoComics.

Once again, apologies for running so late with the blog – I’m concentrating on keeping the cartoon itself up to date, but find it’s usually past midnight on the morning day the strip goes up before I’m finished, so the blog tends to be a bit of an afterthought now.

Full disclosure, I’ve been diagnosed with diabetes and it means that sometimes I have days when I feel really fatigued. I’m not able to work into the night like I used to be able to. It’s being managed with tablets and dietary changes, and I’m feeling a lot better than I used to, but every now and again I eat something with some hidden sugar in it and that’s that for that night. Whatever happens, the strip will continue to appear on GoComics every Monday, Wednesday and Friday even if the blog goes quiet for a week or two at a time.
