It might already be Saturday where you are, but we don't want you to miss your Friday webcomics update! I don't think the folks at Cryptomundo could ever have imagined the events of this week's Blecky Yuckerella strip by Johnny Ryan…. …it's something completely different (no Yikes!) in this week's strip from Steven Weissman ("Chapter 1 of my new Graphic Novel, ha ha" says Steven)… …and careers, jealousy and bad dancing are topics of our Monday-Friday Rocky strips by Martin Kellerman.

Not sure if there will be an Online Commentary & Diversions update tomorrow or Monday, as your humble correspondent will be en route to and from San Francisco for APE. Say, we should have an APE announcement coming up any time now. • Review: "Femke Hiemstra, a Dutch artist, was 'raised on liquorice and buttermilk,' in her words.
