Around the time of our 200th episode, I commissioned a piece of Frederick art from Adriana Ferguson of Stop the Comic and Very Very fame. And it just came!! Check it out!

Way Awesome, isn't it? Thank you Adriana!

In entirely other news related to today's comic, I have to admit that, for the greater part of my life, I have not thought about sewers a great deal. Then the Countess thrust a copy of The Big Necessity into my hands and, damn if it doesn't stir the action centers of a fellah. You start off at, "Oh, a book about poo, this will be amusing" and then end up at "Ah, so that is how many babies are going to die this year because assholes like me are unwilling to really look into what is done with my excreta once it is blissfully banished from my presence."

Bazalgette shows up from time to time in that book, and now he's meandered over here too it would seem!

- Count Dolby von Luckner

The Count does tend to measure things in dead babies.

On that subject, a meta syntactic exercise:

What is worse than [number] dead babies in a [container]?

One dead baby in [number] [containers].
