I was originally supposed to redraw Jay (back figure in panels 3 & 4) from the original strip but as I looked over it again I thought it better to redo the whole thing as well. I wasn't really in a drawing mood at the time. I've got one more strip after this before we cap off the ones for 2006. I won't be doing major repairs for the last one so I think it fair to say we wouldn't have to wait a long time for that.

* The original version of this strip was published Dec. 20, 2006.
