This morning Howard went on a quest. Like any good quest it started with rounding up a companion for the road and many preparations to haul home the expected loot. We emptied out the back end of our van. Then Howard and his friend headed out into the wilds of Ikea in search of a new computer desk. This quest became necessary because Howard’s new wacom tablet arrived and he now needed a reasonable place to put it. We’ve been planning to replace his computer desk for a long time now, so this was not unexpected. They returned triumphant and are now joyfully using power tools to assemble the desk. I’m mostly staying out of the way. Hopefully this will help Howard get caught up on all the coloring he needs to do for the strip.
