My hard drive crashed on Tuesday. It's hopefully not a big deal. I bought a new hard drive and I'm restoring from my Time Machine backup as I type. But there is a lot of data to move and it won't be done before Wednesday morning. So today's strip is a much-beloved repeat and with luck we'll be back tomorrow with new strips. I appreciate your patience.

Update: My data was successfully restored and all is well.

Please help us congratulate friends-of-Unshelved David Malki and Terry Moore on their Eisner nominations for Best Humor Publication and Best New Series, respectively.

And we'll pat ourselves on the back a little for the two Unshelved Book Club selections with nominations: Alan's War and The Ten-Cent Plague, the latter of which was contributed by past Eisner nominee Brad Guigar. Now all we need is a nomination ourselves. Oh well, there's always next year.
