SPQR Update: XXIV-Hour Comics Day

I promised two comics today, but this was not to be. I woke this morning with a blazing migraine and have been feeling weird all day long. I had been considering extending my break through Saturday to participate in 24-Hour Comics Day at a nearby comics shop, but it turns out it's not an open event. Only a handful of professional artists can participate at their location--not the hoi polloi scribbling together for moral support.

So, I'm getting up early Saturday morning and finishing as many SPQR Blues installments as my little pencil can do in XXIV hours--not quite in keeping with the 24-Hour Comics Day challenge rules, but it should be interesting!
