@Historian - It's normal stress. I work a lot. Like a lot a lot lol so I'm feeling it today. I'm sorry you're sick! I don't know about where you're at but we've got a solid flu going over here on the West Coast :(

Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-17T23:39:53-05:00
@Smashley, ah, I totally get that work stress thing. In my old job I worked 70+ hours per week pretty regularly... Not fun at all!
I'll be fine in a day or so, it's a nasty sinus infection but I usually get over them in a couple days (of course this is day three...). I'm in Wisconsin, near Milwaukee. We've been hit with all sorts of crappy viruses and such this year.

Good to see drawing requests still coming in even though The Oatmeal has been gone for hours!
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-17T23:41:04-05:00
@Da Wolf, Yea, clearing the hairball only helped for a short period of time!
@CB, you can lead a horse to water...

@DtQ, good evening sir!

We need an Update #14 saying "thanks, it is done"
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-17T23:42:50-05:00
@DaWolf... I May consider sincere, grateful implies getting some
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-17T23:42:56-05:00
@Historian - Oh man you've totally got me beat. I'm only at like 55 hours (plus all the usual life stuff). 70 hours? Yowza.
Yah we've had some super random stuff up here in good ol' Canada too. Stupid flu season... Sinus infections are the woooooorst.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-17T23:43:42-05:00
Matthew "Oatmeal" Inman has left the building. No further requests are being drawn at the moment.
@Historian...sorry to read you're not well. Try hot "toaddies": hot water, fresh squeezed lemon and honey

$1.4M to beat Ouya -- today's Kicktraq was nearly a half million ($490K), and 12K new backers.

I don't blame some people - he said he may be back later tonight or tomorrow - so they're hoping to catch him at a good time.
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-17T23:45:52-05:00
@Historian..you may add alcohol but it really doesn't need it

Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-17T23:46:39-05:00
Wow. 15 minutes to midnight and people are still trickling in asking for pictures. There is no way that The Oatmeal is still drawing after all of this time. People have to realize this.
@Cha - oh my god Hot Toddies are the best thing evar!
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-17T23:47:43-05:00
Spiked Hot Toddies are better.
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-17T23:47:50-05:00
@Smashley, yeah, it was insane. Here's my learning point from that job: when they promote you, make you salary, and then tell you 'work as many hours as it takes to get the job done', run like hell!
Yeah, it's been a trip this year. The flu vaccine was pretty much a bust, odd ball strains of everything else seem to be popping up... I'm ready for this winter to be over! Stock tip: by stock in Puffs Plus Tissues. I'm burning through them like they're going out of style!
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-17T23:50:38-05:00
@Cha!, thanks! I've been doing hot water, honey and cinnamon, it works quite nicely but I'll have to give your recipe a try so I can mix things up a bit!
@Historian - eeekkk yah that's a solid pro-tip. Thank you! Yah I got the flu vaccine as well (I work in the medical field) but I think the only reason I haven't gotten sick is luck and obsessive hand washing.
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-02-17T23:50:53-05:00

@Creeper, it really helps doesn't it? :)
@Smashley, hand waking has not saved me. I work at a university so I have all sorts of bugs around me every day. My immune system just hadn't quite caught up to the onslaught I guess. :)
Mike Kabala 2015-02-17T23:54:16-05:00
I crashed at about 6PM today and had to take a nap. Busiest snow day ever! I hope I can survive the next two days of this campaign. If I go MIA, I promise to return, but I'll probably just keep slogging through. I can always sleep later, right?
@DaWolf...what makes me happy:
MEAT...a really good medium rare steak
Art... finding quirky art in thriftstores and other places like a rainbow farting cat
Books...SciFi & Fantasy most exclusively
My three pussies
Last and most my hubby who even build me an exploding kittens phat snow cat today
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-17T23:55:27-05:00
@CB, your herculean efforts are appreciated... Also, sleep is for the dead... And the sick.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-17T23:55:59-05:00
Hey Cheetahbutt: I asked The Oatmeal to draw a picture for you but he was taking other requests. If we ever meet up at our Kitten Con, your drinks are on me.
Melissa "The Creeper" Bakery Girl 2015-02-17T23:56:31-05:00
@Explaitten - that's what they keep trying to tell us...
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-02-17T23:56:41-05:00
@Explaitten - Yes. I think studies have shown that. :\
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-17T23:57:02-05:00
@Explainitten, I sure hope not!

Mike Kabala 2015-02-17T23:58:00-05:00
@The Historian, it was really fun monitoring my email for new recruits while simultaneously monitoring Matthew Inman's comment stream for images ... and occasionally popping in here to watch a few hundred more requests go zipping by. Who needs a drinking game when you can totally gork out on the Interwebz alone?
Monica Hartley 2015-02-17T23:58:11-05:00
Hi, back from the meeting, Neighborhood Watch presentation and a meth Lab blew up just down the street about two hours before. Fun times.

Monica - have you consider flipping houses? There is one just down the street that will go really low.
Edward J. Cunningham 2015-02-17T23:59:36-05:00
This comment is going to get buried, but I hope Oatmeal fans will get (and appreciate) the joke.
Elan: Matt, we really need to do something special to thank all of our Kickstarter backers. Say, what are you drinking?
Oatmeal: Kirkland Signature Vodka. Want some?
Elan: No, thanks.
Oatmeal: Good, I'll finish the whole bottle then.
Elan: Uh, Matt? Any ideas about how we should thank our backers?
Oatmeal: Fuck it. How about I promise to draw sketches for everyone who posts on the Kickstarter message board?
We had a helicopter sitting over us for about ha half an hour.

Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-18T00:02:37-05:00
@CheetahButt... Thank you so much for all you do man!
@Edward ROTFL at least he didn't promise to draw a picture of everyone's comments - that would have been really, really bad
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-18T00:04:04-05:00
@DaWolf...oh! Are you trying to make me happy to make me grateful to garner another box?
Stacie 2015-02-18T00:04:16-05:00
drawing request! A ferret getting rectal temp taken. Because they need it yet they hate it and owners have to help it get done. We need something to laugh at during this veterinary affront to their dignity!

Please draw a guitar-playing kitten. Thanks!
@DaWolf... Aren't you getting your own?
The Historian - have you tried coughing up that hairball?
... they still don't get it any way.
Cha - Yes. But am I one of that grateful sincere friends?
We're going to be pretty close to the OUYA within the last hours of the campaign..there's going to be a FRENZY around here.
@Historian - It's normal stress. I work a lot. Like a lot a lot lol so I'm feeling it today. I'm sorry you're sick! I don't know about where you're at but we've got a solid flu going over here on the West Coast :(

Ok, I guess we know it will already be in there...
If it's any consolation, I will always think of you. :)
Cha - maybe, but my lips are sealed. I might have a sci-fi book that is looking for a good home. I will have to do some digging in a box firstl
@Historian ...enjoy your good night toaddie and please feel better soon!
Maybe Cheetah Butt needs a card of a cheetah butt on top of a cheetah butt? Or crawling out of a cheetah butt?
@Edward, that is priceless!
@Cha!, thanks. My immune system usually snaps back quicker than this so I'm hoping I'm turning the corner.
