Fortnightly Webcomic Update
Sluggy Freelance — Zombie storytime! Gwynn's in trouble with zombies. It turns out that her co-worker Jane at the zombie themed restaurant "Zomblebee's" is a real zombie. Gwynn's been sent to tell her she's fired, which Jane doesn't take too well. One of her minions bites Gwynn, which might be a problem, as zombie-dom appears to be an infection. Then we see that while Gwynn's lost most of her hair due to camel Zoe, Gwynn then magicked off all of Zoe's hair. Neither of them are happy, but after talking it out, they make up, just in time for the guys to return and witness the severe hair troubles.

Day by Day — Jan, Damon, and Zed arrive home to be greeted by the very pregnant Sam. Then it's back to politics, with Hillary's debate troubles getting center stage. But that's not enough to distract from Zed meeting Sam's mother, and finding out that his wife is younger than he thought.

Scary Go Round — Ryan, Esther, and the boy pull off a light show to scare the ghost off. Ghostbusting's not for the feint of heart. Then the offices of Conde Nast Traveller is busy producing a travel guide for the really snooty. They wish to hire the meanest of freelance writers to cover Christmas Island, Shelby Winner. A slight miscommunication and some loud banging results in Shelley Winters being hired instead.

Dominic Deegan — With one victory under his belt, Milov needs to go to the Moon Dance and restore his family's honor. You can see he wants to make up with Jayden, but he can't. Dominic, meanwhile, is exhausted, and is trying to recover his strength so he can help. So at the Moon Dance, Milov announces that he will drive the Callanian influence from his lands, starting with the Luanian church. Yikes. He defends Nimmel, however, arguing that he's shown true loyalty.

College Roomies from Hell!!! — Blue starts to offer Dave a chance to break up with her, but he offers her a kitten instead to talk her out of it. Dave's happy, but he comes home to find a big problem with Marsha about to jump off the roof. He tries to talk her down while Margaret tackles her, but he's too late, and Marsha leaps--to ride Sticky out of sight. That is just too weird, and it's enough for Margaret to decide that NOES isn't working out. Roger's gone, Marsha's gone, and Dave's hardly the most reliable member. What's the point anymore?

Schlock Mercenary — Xinchub's body is up and moving again, but fortunately TAG has it under control. It turns out that Xinchub had the same nanite treatment as Kevyn, and he's looking to escape. He hasn't gotten very far, however. Tagon renegotiates his deal with Ambassador Breya--charging a bit extra to bring in a living specimen. Then when Kevyn suggests that they may be able to figure out what Petey wants Xinchub for and sell the information to a third party, Tagon takes a detour while they figure out how to milk a fifth payment out of the job.
