Long Way from Home Page 25

To be more accurate, Timmy decided to stay when he realized that should a rescue team pull him out of the well, he would just wind up living in his parent’s basement. At least this way no one questions his competence or maturity or tells him to clean his room. His best friend from middle school, Trevor keeps him supplied with food, PS3 games, and bootlegs of popular movies.
Anyway, I am back after a few weeks off. Again. What was it this time, O feeble cartoonist? Herniated disc. Lasted a couple weeks until I found the right medication – Methocarbomol, a muscle relaxer – that had the side effect of increasing my torpor. All of my recent ailments left me pretty exhausted. This page, which ordinarily I would have completed within a couple days, took me several sessions, most a half hour or hour at a time, depending on how much I could either tolerate, pain-wise, or muster, energy-wise. Friends told me to cut it out and heal myself. For once, I listened.
Next week, barring any random strikes of meteorites or errant buses, there shall be another page. Thanks for your patience!
this should be an intriguing homecoming. If I recall correctly, when last Ma Pig, et al, saw Sheldon he was speaking in symbols, not words, which was why he was in the Beaver Shrink’s office to start with.
I’m equally curious to see what his expression in the last panel bodes – again, I’m seeing Ulysses in a lot of this, but perhaps I read too much into it.
As for Timmy, how’d he manage to shake that meddlesome dog? ;-))
Glad to see you’re feeling better and not hanging out with Timmy in the well!
