Trev says A pinch and a punch for the first day of the month, and the first comic of the new century. While we're talking about new things we'd like to welcome into the world baby Ruby, she was born a few weeks ago to proud parents Anthony and Rita. You may know Ant as a Sockpupper member. We're sorry for overlooking sharing such exciting news with you all, in our defence she was a month early.

Apologies to Jen who wrote this slightly differently. I didn't have here script with me when i did half the art. Also drawing carnivals is HARD!

Jen says-- Darn tootin' drawing carnivals is hard. That's why I wrote about one. Because I'm mean and nasty-like. And I like making Trev suffer for his art.

I can add nothing but my warmest congratulations to Ant and Rita and little Ruby for makin a two a three. Mozel Tov!

In other Ant-related news, he has moved his Tiny Jesus Dailies to the Sockpuppet site after 100 or so strips at his own site. Check 'em out by choosing the "Select a Comic" drop down list up there at the top o' the page. While you're there, make sure you are up to date with Nick's Space-Time Machine (which you would have enjoyed here for the entire month of October). There's a dead Caesar in the current strip. If you think I'm kidding go look for yourself.
