FINALLY, this comic starts living up to its name again. 

Still have my buffer going, THANK GOD.  I've just got one page left to draw in this chapter, and at the end of next week we should be starting CHAPTER SEVEN, aka THE CHAPTER THAT WOULD NEVER EVER START.  And based on feedback, there'll be an intermission after chapter 7 (something like a half-chapter), after which will be chapter 8, and then chapter  9, and then who even knows.  Maybe a chapter 10.  I'm thinking we're about halfway through the first arc of Metacarpolis, possibly a bit further.
