The shock had finally gotten to Kit. When you realize that something like this has happened, yeah, you’d probably pass out too.
Glad to be back!

This should have been the comic for the week that I ended up in the Emergency Room and had my near-death experience. It’s late, but I’m glad that I’m still alive to post it! Things are going to be a bit slow as I recover though, so the next page may take a bit to come out. Thanks for all the thoughts and support while all this craziness unfolds. But now, here’s the new page!
Kit has been out cold since the lightning struck the shrine and flowed right into his body. Mike got him out, but the damage had been done. Now Kit’s coming to and he’s in for a bit of a big shock. (again! heh.)
If you’ve been paying attention, you saw this coming. Kit has a shocking experience that changes a few things. Moral of the story? Don’t disrespect the shrine of a goddess that likes to shapeshift. You may end up having some personal problems.
Running around in a major storm, you want to get yourself dry, right? Yeah, that’s what Kit thought too. But he never realized at the time that he was inside a old shrine. A shrine to Inari Okami, the Japanese god/goddess of fertility, rice, tea and sake, of agriculture and industry, of general prosperity and worldly success, and one of the principal kami of the Shinto religion. In earlier Japan, Inari was also the patron of swordsmiths and merchants. Oh, and the goddess of foxes. Ironic, isn’t it?
Flashback time! It was 5 months ago… Thunderstorm. Driving rain. Soggy fox. And Kit wishes he had never set eyes on that shrine. But hey, hindsight is 20/20, right?
Meet Mike. The Foxtails IT guy and one of Kit’s best friends. He’s also one of the folks that knows the truth about Kat. And is probably happy that he’s not carrying that heavy bag of Kat stuff anymore.
Ah, the pains (or joys?) of do-it-yourself furniture from Sweden. How in the world DO those crazy illustrations in the instructions ever put anything together? And that’s not a made up piece of furniture. I ran across this while looking for other items on a popular Swedish retailer’s site. “Björken” is the model name for a few different things, not to mention a cabinet-type thing. Just sounded too perfect for a word play joke… Yeah, that’s björked up.
Just a little throwback to the original series for Foxtails. Kit finds that someone left out a bag of string cheese…
