One problem with saving a panel for last is that your hand might get tired and hurty before you get to it. But I'd like to have a Saturday update, so I'm calling this finished anyway.
SPQR Blues has finally built back up its number of unique daily visitors to around where it was before the ComicGenesis servers took an extended nosedive. Just in time to irritate people again, because I kinda worry someone's going to say: Why does everybody fall for Felix? People don't, really. Lolla's old auntie didn't like him. Domitian's wife, Calatoria Themis, Spendusa's sister Cynthia, and that woman who sneered at him on his way to the Baths aren't particularly enamoured of him. Venus seems to be fond of him, though. Which explains a lot, if you find Venus an explanation.

A General Sorry for lagging in answering e-mails the past few days. Meetings and work stuff did me in this week, plus I was fussing with comics a lot more than usual. Now that this installment is, uhm, 90% finished, I will take a few moments for de-frazzling then catch up on e-mails and phone calls (as if anyone can ever reach me by telephone. pfft).

Date: 2007-07-28 07:48 pm (UTC)GREAT comic today. It was bound to happen. I figured Mus would end up nekkid in Felix's bed waiting for him only to be thrown out. I told you that.
He's so sweet and sincere. I do feel bad for him.
no subject
Date: 2007-07-28 09:33 pm (UTC)I'll just run out and pick up an iPhone or two... yup...
The nekkid-in-bed thing is scheduled to happen in part #879, but I think the volcano will get them all first--Bwahahaha. ::ahem::

Date: 2007-07-29 01:23 pm (UTC)5:15am "Come see if there's food in my dish!"
5:30am "Come see if there's food in my dish!"
5:45am "Come see if there's food in my dish!"
6:00am "Come see if there's food in my dish!"
6:15am "Come see if there's food in my dish!"
repeat until human gets out of bed, followed by:
"Oh, yeah, there *is* food in my dish, thanks for checking."
The cost of a cell phone would be worth it to break her of her morning routine, I tell you. She could spend the early morning meowing with her out-of-state friends or sending dirty txt msgs to birds or something.

Date: 2007-07-28 10:16 pm (UTC)...except for being, uhm, anachronistic, probably.
Though I wouldn't be surprised if the Romans used that expression the same way we do. I should go dig out my "Latin Vulgarities" book. (A purely scholarly text. With a subtle, neon orange cover.)

Date: 2007-07-30 03:04 pm (UTC)It's never too early to be vulgar! I try to get a start on it right after my morning tea >:D

Date: 2007-07-28 10:51 pm (UTC)Never mind me. I am so unhip.
no subject
Date: 2007-07-29 01:05 am (UTC)I was NOT expecting that! Here I thought mus had a serious Father-Figure thing for Felix!
And Felix gives him some tough love...emphasize the tough. Although he's right, and Mus needs this as a start to maturing.
no subject
Date: 2007-07-29 01:43 am (UTC)Mus says, with a father like his, one is more than enough.
Felix will have to settle for being the tough-love big-brother figure.
no subject
Date: 2007-07-29 02:19 am (UTC)I like how Felix, Mus, and Menander have become the dynamic trio. Does that make Menander Alfred to Felix's Batman (Mus being Robin, of course).
no subject
Date: 2007-07-29 03:08 am (UTC)Maybe Mus will find his way back to fraternal from romantic. Can't break up the dynamic trio, now that they have an Alfred. All they need is a Batgirl in some nice high-heeled fighting boots.
no subject
Date: 2007-07-29 06:18 am (UTC)OK, maybe she could be a redhead and working in a bibliotheca by day, if you really want to hang on to bits of the batgirl mythos.

Date: 2007-07-30 05:19 am (UTC)Remember when there were just two ring tones in the world? Ma Bell from America and then the English/European funny-assed rings.
For more phone related stuff, check out the movie The President's Analyst...
