Hmm, I'm bad at Wednesday updates. I'll get today's comic up tomorrow, I promise.

Lately: Natalie Dee totally encroaches upon my territory. This is my subject matter, Natalie Dee! Just because you're a bigger webcomic than I am (and probably completely unaware of my existence) doesn't mean you can go around drawing stuff vaguely conceptually similar to mine! I mean, unless you really want to. Then it's okay. I guess.

If any dentists read this, I'm sorry. Somebody had to say it.

Gwah! It's Thursday! How the heck is it Thursday? What happened to Wednesday? Curses! Here's yesterday's episode. I'll put tomorrow's up a bit early to compensate.

The hand-drawn images will be back in a day or two.

I'm a little uncomfortable posting this, for a number of reasons.

Given Toast's propensity for oddball philosophy, it's really easy to make jokes where I say "hey, look how unrealistic concept X vaguely resembles real-world practice Y! Oh, man, burn!" Cheap shots are too easy and they tend not to be funny.
I'm not entirely sure how widespread the concept of high school student government is, and those not familiar with it won't get the joke.
It will piss off people who are/were involved in student government who have no sense of humor.
It will piss off libertarians who have no sense of humor.
There's no art in the comic. Can it be called a comic if there's no art? I don't really care whether the label of "comic" applies, but it seems a little empty without any pictures.

But the first two thirds of this strip have been sitting in my notebook for over a week now, and this is the first thing I've been able to do with it. Plus, I'm late with today's update (Friday ended two hours ago for me, but hey, it's been a busy week at school) so I have to put something out. I think the punchline is enough of a twist to make up for point 1, and I guess point 2 can be resolved by reading the commentary. The people from points 3 and 4 probably aren't reading my webcomic. As for point 5, well, what do you think? Even if an episode is decidedly non-visual, should I make a point to include at least a scribble or two of Toast? Or is the occasional, infrequent text-only entry okay?
