Gotta love creative hyperfocus! When I created this comic, I think I'd just finished the first draft of a story I'm very proud of.... either that or I was working on a novel that is now trunked, but taught me so much.

Perils of the Zone Comic Transcript

Thing 1 and Thing 2 are in conversation.
Thing 1: You know that blissed out feeling when you're working in the zone and time flies by?

Both the Things close their eyes with happiness.
Thing 2: Sometimes our creator gets like that when she's drawing us.

Thing 1 looks up.
Thing 1: And sometimes when she's creating something else!

Both Things look out of the panel at us with raised eyeballs (they don't have eyebrows, so differing eyeball shapes act as a substitute).
Both of the Things: Which is why Friday's comic is on Saturday!
