Hey, everybody. I know, I've been scarce for a long time now, and my current running story has been at a standstill for a lot longer than I thought it would. I've had a lot going on lately, the least of which was not the various problems I've been experiencing with the software I use to render my comics. But I think everything's fine now, so I'm returning to several projects, including the Nec Rho Omicron flash animation I've been experimenting with.

I wrote this after reading one too many stories about people making a big deal out of Barack Obama's middle name. "If it looks like a duck..." they say, ignoring the fact that the various shallower strategies of waterfowl identification are not good means to judge potential political leaders. Do these people honestly think that Obama would turn the nation over to terrorists? The president doesn't even have the power to do that!
