As I was revisiting some of the archives today, I came across this Public Service Announcement-style one that is damn hilarious: "Now Let's Get To Know The Scroll Button!"

On this Websnark thread there were reports of heavy weather in Keenspot HQ, South Dakota so more likely then not it's simply a matter of the power being out.

UPDATE: Also, missed this note from Bill Mudron that he is shelving work on his Pan series for possibly a couple of years. Here's hoping Mudron finds a way to make a living doing comics so he can return to this great webcomic.
