I got some bad news and some good news. The bad news is sorry, but I missed Wednesday's comic update, a first for me. I'm working 2 jobs for the time being, looking to buy a house, and dealing with a whole bunch of other insane things and it's making it tough for me to work on aLp.
The good news is, speaking of insane things... my wife is pregnant. WITH TWINS. My wife is pregnant with twins. Yeah. We're due in early July, at which point my head will explode. I've been meaning to fill you in on our news for a while, and I guess I figured I could use it as an excuse for my first missed update. Umm... and I guess for all subsequent situations for that matter, in case I miss any more updates or I start making less and less sense. Just like my life.
Again, sorry for the missed update and thanks for stickin' with me. Oh yeah, and I hope I've told all my important family members about the news so that this ain't the way they find out. |

I've got an idea for names. I'm sure the twins will LOVE* each other.
* brotherly/sisterly love**
** not THAT kind of brotherly/sisterly love
Seriously, do you dare? How much would it take to convince you to name your children Alien and Predator? I'm sure we could PayPal it. |

But I suppose I can allow it given the situation.
I also support any and all naming of children Alien and Predator. |

I'm just waiting for that July day, when Bernie's in the hospital, all excited about becoming a father, hyperventilating, ready to pass out, and the twins explode out of his wife's stomach like Alien instead of the natural (human) way.
It might be expected at this point. Just as long as they don't act like Boris and Zeev and attack me when I come visit. |

Dude, that is seriously cool. Good luck, and remember, your wife having twins is a GREAT reason for all those times like today. Tell her that she has to get her mileage out of the situation, too...my pregnant friends swear by it.

I'm sure you and your wife are thrilled about it.
My wife had two sets of twins herself. Their birthdays are one week apart. It seems that all four were conceived on daddy's birthday! (NB, I'm the step-father) All fraternal, oldest two boys, then one boy, one girl. She had immediate bedrest when she found out the first time, but she continued to work for IIRC two months after finding out the second time. |

Wouldn't naming them Abe and Preston be more fitting? |

Kids are a blessing from the lord. Trust me I never had any. Never had a wife either for that matter, well not my own any way.
Alien and Predator would be good names, are you really in NY ?
Love your strip, keep it up when you can;;family first, have fun with the kids. |

Babies are awesome (except for the feeding, crying and nappy part - you DO NOT want to witness babies first poo, nor twins for that matter).
Congradulations and the best of luck to the four of you. As much as I love your strips I'm cool if you miss anymore updates as I know how little time you have with sprogs around.
Looking forward to a lot of strips influenced by your kids. Stay frosty dude. |

If you start letting these kids push you around now, they will walk all over you the rest of your life. |

Twins... man, that's craziness. Best of luck to the family though. Should be an "interesting" experience. Have patience!  |

Bernie, Bernie , Bernie.......... ( you do know what causes that I hope ) Congratulations to you both!!!
It's gonna change your life man.
of course this probably means we the fans will have to put up with more delays because of the babies.... but if you two want to start a family and leave us the fans hanging out to dry like so many freshly washed diapers... well I guess you can...... after all it is a free country....and there is not much we (the fans) can do about it. Is there Mister Expectant Father ? ........... now then is this the kind of work ethic you really want to show your children ? HMMMMMM? We're not talking about holding down two jobs and paying the bills and taking care of your pregnant wife, no sir........... Mister we're taking about US (your fans), what the hell are we supposed to do with our lives on wednesdays if we don't get an installment of aLp .... BUT HEY who am I ( A FAN) to complain?
Seriously the best to both of you Health & Happiness and a small private quiet spot that no one knows about .... yer gonna need it.  _________________ Signature Classics.....

You have to realize Bernie is used to staying up until all hours in the morning, either working on the comic or browsing the web or doing one of his jobs. So having the kids wake him up at all hours won't be too much of a difference for him. So I don't foresee too many extra delays.
His wife, on the other hand, will have to get used to getting up all the time. |
