For those who came in late, we're celebrating the end of Girl Genius Volume Eight and the end of 2008 by messing around with this Cinderella thing. And a good thing, too, since Phil is now dealing with emergency root canals. Excitement! Drama! Vicodin! Yeah... he's sad. Anyway, he's determined to keep drawing, but you'll have to forgive us if the humor gets a bit weird. We're kind of distracted, and tired, and the strangest things are sounding funny. Erm... so please have patience with us! That's all. --Kaja
