New Adventures of Queen Victoria is now irregularly updating, and the 3 after this one have also just been thought balloons in the dark. Per Wikipedia: “The strip ended on February 14, 2021; according to Sungenis, “15 years is long enough to do anything.” In January 2026 the comic returned to GoComics with new strips.”
There’s not much about new projects on Pab’s website. I dimly recall hearing he had some health issues.
OK, not really an LOL to your editor. It’s a comic that brings back painful memories of actual events.
Adding staff to a project in the middle is problematic: (1) you have to bring them up to speed, and (2) you’re likely to get staff that can be spared from other projects — not necessarily the sharpest knives in the drawer.
Similarly, a PM (project manager) added in the middle can be useful, or can just be a dysfunctional scheduler of status meetings, status update reports, and, if they are really bad, someone who attempts to assign blame when asked to do so by management. The difference between a good project manager and a poor project manager is immense. [end of rant]

Darren sends this in: “Just don’t get it. Are those giant alligators and it’s a Godzilla sort of reference (but the bricks look normal). Or are they regular alligators and the balloons have some sort of tiny people in them? I feel like it’s supposed to be a “reverse”, but I’m not aware of toy balloons with alligators being common.”
Happy Easter! / Happy Passover!
We all have one relative like that … or maybe we are that one relative.

Your editor had a total knee replacement on Monday, and has been using stool softeners of both types all week. (all is well now)
