Comics might be late

I have the comic pages done. They are happily sitting on my computer. I usually set up the pages to post for the whole week on Tuesdays. So you might be wondering what the trouble is.

Google is finally installing their fiber lines in our neighborhood. Today they are in our yard. We believe they cut the existing fiber line. So we have no internet. And I suspect this will take more than a day to fix. So that's why I'm posting about it.

No need to suggest that I tether. My main computer is not wifi capable. I have no dongles for it. And our phone signal is pretty weak here. Last time I tethered with my laptop, I couldn't get any important websites to load in any decent amount of time.

We just have to wait. I'll post the comics as soon as I can if this outage makes me miss the usual schedule.

Update: 11:15am Our internet access is back. Maybe they temporarily disconnected us to put their fiber line in the box (in our neighbor's yard). I've quickly uploaded today's comic just in case it goes down again.

Update 5:30pm: the internet has been down since 2pm. We hope they remember to turn it back on. But while we still had access before 2pm, I went ahead and uploaded this week's comics. So hopefully that won't be interrupted for you
