So last week you had trouble seeing the new cartoon because the server for In Contempt was down. Well, now it's up, so there should be a new cartoon right here in this very spot eyein' ya funny.

But no. I mean, yes, there is a new cartoon, one that exists in the physical world; I drew it last night, and, oh my, how funny it is. A real knee-slapper. You will literally say, "Hyuk, hyuk" when you read it. But not until it gets scanned and uploaded, which is where the problem comes in: my computer succumbed to the heat wave we had this weekend. The logic board was already on its last legs when 101º F kicked em out from under it.

There is a computer and scanner at work. I might sneak in a scan and post the toon raw, that is, sans grey tones and even the logo, which I place in photosnot. So, stay tuned.

This is it. In raw form. Unfortunately, that is the best I can do for now until my home computer is back working or simply replaced.

Really, I think some force in the universe is trying to tell me something.
