I think it's the fault of "Introduce nearly 200 characters in 60 pages" (either for the comic OR the cartoon), honestly. There's only so much material you can focus on with that limitation.
Hmmm . . . appears to be sold out. Hopefully, they processed my registration before that happened. Otherwise, there's really no point to my having joined the club . . . :\
Haven't heard anything, so I hope that means no news is good news.
