And thus ends our cowboy interlude. Will he return, or was he just a throwaway character? I’m not telling, you’ll just have to see.

Next week starts our fabled multi-month story arc, staring Gwen and Pearl. Stay tuned for ‘Leaving Las Vegas’, coming soon to a web page near you… Now, stay tuned for News of the Penguin, right after this mouse click.

Ok, a little bit of a cheap shot at Maine, but if you lived in NH like I do, you’d understand why we get annoyed with our Northern Neighbor sometimes. You see, New Hampshire has no income tax. People (such as I) who work in Massachusetts are used to paying Mass income tax, but Maine takes it one step further. If you work in Maine, they not only tax your income but your spouse’s income as well, regardless of whether they work in Maine or not. Now you may have a better understanding of why the location of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (claimed by both NH and Maine) was more than just trivia. There are tens of thousands of NH residents who work at the shipyard, and all of them get hit with the double-tax.

Hopefully, you won’t find the Linux News that follows taxing at all…

For they have horses and are good with knots…

Back on track this week, so you’ll be getting you dose of Linux news in the extended entry. Randy’s busily working on the next batch (we’re on strip 20 for those keeping score, and we have completed art through strip 22.) The next story arc after this one completes is going to start our first attempt at more than a 4 strip plot. This one will run a whopping 8 strips. Characters will be developed. Plots will unfold. Falafel jokes will be made!
