Nothing interesting or funny to say today! SORRY!!!
Uhhhh... wait. What in the hell is this?!?
Hmmm. That's weird. I have no clue what it is.
Oh well. SEE YOU NEXT WEEK!!!
The brutal death of MegaHitlerNixon has led to a tear in spacetime, forcing an instantaneous restoration of the timestream... an epic occurrence hence forth to be known as the Time Ripple!!!

You may have noticed that the credits are rather different for this strip (not to mention the art looking different as well!). Last week, I detailed Paige's short break from inking for the next month or so, and I also joked that Justique gets no vacation because she lives with the editor. Well, I spoke too soon...
See, coloring pencils is a bit different than coloring inked art. And when Justique saw what she was supposed to color this week (the two panels on the right) she gasped. She decided this was the perfect time to take a short break, just for the duration of the Time Ripple. So that's why the "Colorist" credit is under my name.
But you'll also notice Pete listed as the sole writer. That's because, for all intents and purposes, he's the singular vision on this series of timestream restorations caused by the Time Ripple. While most of Time Log has been taken directly from our collaborative plot, the Time Ripple scripts have been all his... including directions for the color design.
Anyway, before I finish up for this week, I want to tell you about something very special happening this Saturday -- Time Log's very own Shawn Atkins is doing a bookstore signing with Sequential Underground's Seth Fronzoli at Eljay's Used Books in Pittsburgh!!! From 3-4 PM, you can meet a greet these awesome dudes and snag some kickass Explorers of the Unknown comics. Here's a link to the Facebook event for more information about the signing and the store.
Stumbling backwards over Stephen Foster, MegaHitlerNixon tripped and landed on its severed unicorn horn, impaling both the mutated metal skull of Adolph Hitler AND the detached head of a power-crazed FutureNixon!!!

Can you believe it? WE MADE IT TO #50!!! If you knew everything that's gone into this comic, you'd be surprised we even made it to #10 :)
I want to thank everyone that's stuck with us so far. I know there have been some great strips, and some... well, some not so great ones (or, rather, some confusing ones). But starting next week, all of your Time Log reading will begin to pay off!!!
Also, Paige is getting a well-deserved break for the next month or so. This is her first project as an inker -- not to mention her first comics project period! So she's taking a short hiatus in anticipation of our final four strips (when she'll make her triumphant return).
And, yes, this is Justique's first webcomics project too!!! I know she's probably thinking "Where's my goddamn break?" NO BREAK FOR YOU! That's what you get when you live with the editor.
Anyway, join us next week for the beginning of the end... a special thing that we like to call THE TIME RIPPLE!!!
Outraged by the senseless murder of Nick, FuturePaige (formerly FutureSlavePaige) attacked MegaHitlerNixon! She knocked the unicorn horn off of the monster's head, causing it to stumble backwards and trip over a crouching Stephen Foster.

I think it's pretty safe to say that MegaHitlerNixon is dead.
AHHH!!! Nick is dead! Shawn is running for her life! Pete is getting blasted left and right! And Paige is very upset.

Sorry the Log is late today! Lots of reasons, no excuses, ya know what I mean?
Anyway, not too much to say today except that the action from today's comic was a serendipitous moment that fell into our laps! See, Tina suggested rainbow unicorn beams... which led to Pete and I coming up with the idea for MegaHitlerNixon to wear Pete's unicorn horn on its head. Around that same time, we knew Paige was going to go bad and then go back to good again, but we didn't know how.
And that's where the anthracite comes in. When Pete came up with the anthracite joke in ACT I, that's all it was -- a joke. Nothing more, nothing less. But suddenly, the anthracite became an important plot device. And that gave the seemingly worthless detour to Scranton invaluable purpose!
So out of a complicated chain of events, today's comic was born!
Shawn tried to warn Pete about MegaHitlerNixon's rainbow power blasts!

Wow. I'm at a loss for words this week. Uhhhhhhh... HAPPPY THURSDAY???
As MegaHitlerNixon destroys everything in sight (including Nick), the two Petes (along with the FutureNazis and Stephen Foster) have finally arrived in 2069.

As you read this, I'm on my way to jury duty. And while I don't really feel like going, I think it's important to remember that jury duty is a luxury unavailable to the few brave souls who still survive in the year 2069. FutureNixon has abolished the modern American legal system and replaced it with an obscene dictatorship that amounts to widespread savage injustice.
Speaking of widespread savage injustice, Pete and I are collaborating on something else this week -- Super Haters. It's currently day four of Pete Borrebach Guest Week, and Pete is in the middle of a twisted story about the enigmatic circle of light known as Degenerate Dwarf.
MegaHitlerNixon killed Nick by shooting a giant rainbow death beam from the unicorn horn on the top of its head. Now FutureShawn and Shawn are running for their lives!!! FutureSlavePaige should be running for her life too, but (as you can see below) she's a bit upset right now...

TIME LOG WAS A MONSTER THIS WEEK!
And that's why I'm posting it late, because sometimes things just don't line up. See...
Pete had his script done early, and Shawn had his pencils in on time. But Paige was a bit late on the inks, and then I was a day late on getting the inks scanned and formatted for Justique. That means Justique didn't start coloring until yesterday (and I should know this next part by now but I always forget) and she has a tough time getting it done on deadline when she starts working on it the day before it gets posted. That's just natural. I understand why. And by the time the two of us finally finished the colors, I was already late with the lettering. And this one was a wee bit tricky in terms of balloon placement (not to mention the fact that Shawn forgot to draw the ropes on Stephen Foster (and I didn't even notice that until today, which is totally my fault as editor because it's easy to forget who is and is not tied up at any given time in ACT III)). SOoooooo...
That's why Time Log is a little late today. :)
While tussling for control of the unicorn horn inside of PastPete's metal arm, Hitler and FutureNixon were sucked into the Time Vortex. Soon, they arrived in 2069, transformed into a giant metal mutant beast... a MegaHitlerNixon!!!

Well, that's it for Nick. It's kinda suspicious that Pete's not only the main character of Time Log... he's the main characters. Hmph. There was only ever one Nick and now he's dead. WHERE'S THE JUSTICE IN THAT?
For some reason, as I was getting ready to post this comic, I was mourning Nick's death and this song popped into my head. It' doesn't make any damn sense, really. Maybe I just listened to too much James Brown as a kid.
Before I sign off, I gotta send a huge THANK YOU to Tina, Shawn's friend. Months ago, I asked you, our highly-valued readers what you'd like to see in future installments of Time Log. And Tina suggested rainbows shooting out of the unicorn horns!
At the time, Pete and I already knew that MegaHitlerNixon would be wearing a unicorn horn on its head like a cherry on top on of a molten metal sundae... and adding Tina's rainbow blast idea to the recipe was like spraying a layer of delicious webcomics whipped cream all around the sides.
