Do not attempt to adjust your computer...

As you may have noticed, we have been experiencing all sorts of technical difficulties today. For anyone curious as to why (I know you people are out there!) it is, simply, because our hosting service blows. Actually, they're migrating all their data to a new set of servers, but that very fact doesn't excuse them from blowing.

They could have at least sent us an email or something saying "Hey, we're taking you down!!! For a day or two. We'd ask you if you minded but you don't really have a choice in the matter, do you? Also, that piece of cake from the party last night? The one you were saving for later? We ate that. /After/ we totally made out with your S/O. Totally. ------ Signed, "Trevor" (a.k.a. some dude in Pakistan)

Their customer service isn't too bad. If I call up and say there's something wrong it usually gets fixed in a matter of minutes. The problem is that it seems like once the guy on the other end is done helping me, someone else spills a Mountain Dew on our server or something and there I am calling up the next day saying "Hey, somethings wrong". We've been with them for years now and everything was running nice and smooth but more and more we find ourselves hitting "F5" over and over as we look at a blank page or timeout error. Maybe its that the original owners cashed out and sold it to some shady front corporation running out of the East Indies, or maybe its that we've actually started using it for something else besides data storage.

Regardless, "Trevor" or "Scott" or whatever you're calling yourself today, you are soon to have heard the last of me (and yes, that last part is grammatically correct. MS Word says so). For soon Multimedia Juggernaut that is "Squishy Comics" shall move on to much more fertile pastures. We are currently working behind the scenes to ensure that you, our readers, shall not have to go without your thrice-weekly dose of "Squishy" ever again!! Or at least, for a good long while, whichever comes first.

On a side note I'd like to thank Dee from www.direman.com for appearing in today's strip to "tell it like it is". (gives Dan a "thumbs up" behind his back)
