Sometimes a meeting seems to go on forever. The department of Nuisances is very aware of this phenomenon. With any luck they’ll manage to keep on topic.

This is really embarrassing. I was so far ahead on the strip’s buffer and paying so much attention to finishing current storylines that I completely forgot about this year’s Martin Luther King Day strip!
So here it is in the blog. This year we’re taking a bit from his Montgomery Bus Boycott speech from 1955. It’s a very good example of his early works. Though I have to admit while his use of repetition works great on the pulpit, loses a little when you read it as text.

I always wish I could do more with Santa Lucia day. It has lots of potential in the form of pictures of a young Kate in full regalia ready to be used for family blackmail. Regrettably, it’s hard to use this without the context of the holiday. And since the Christmas story has usually started by then, I don’t have a chance to do that material.
So let’s go a couple of years ago to see some of those pictures being made. You may not recognize her with her natural hair color and being notably shorter, but that’s Erika behind Kate.
