Newbiespud’s Note: Starting with this, we’ve got a grand total of eight pages of guest comics! I was a bit more stringent about quality and theme this time around, so it’s not as many as I would have liked for a sabbatical. Still, three weeks will do.

Jackie: The lead lining gives you a +10! Rules as written, Doc! Don’t question it!
