You may be wondering where you can get your hands on the special Nutshell titles that our cast uses on a regular basis. You may recall “Revenge in a Nutshell” from one of our earliest strips.

We’ve all had that moment when our GPS betray us (or, more to the point, our mapping software) I’ve had my PDA insist, on several occasions, that the best route to take involved roads that a 4×4 would hesitate to try. Luckily, Gwen had at least one eye on the road, or it would have been Thelma and Louise Pt 2.

If you enjoy this comic, please use the voting, Digg and Stumble links under the comic. The more traffic we can draw, the more likely it is that we can go to 3 strips a week (and start to really tell some stories.)
