I would have turned around the minute I ran into that cussing dirt squirrel.  Anyone else notice how Carl blends in well with the wooded surroundings?

A little heads-up

This is the strip that almost wasn’t.  Well not for today anyway.  My computer decided to take a dump on me just before I started this strip Thursday night.  Don’t know if it is a bad hard drive or a virus…either way, my main computer is down.  But thank goodness, however, for my laptop, a second copy of Clip Studio Paint, and my Flatt Bear master art all stored on the cloud or this would have been a more disappointing post.  Hopefully, I’ll have things all fixed and running by Sunday evening.  I now know how I’m going to spend my 3 day weekend.
