Steve's Comments:

Today's new strip introduces prop master extraordinaire Harrison Krix, creator of the awesome portal gun that I purchased at the Child's Play charity auction in December. Valve is hanging onto it for me right now.

Harrison is currently working on making a sister gun for Valve, which we will drop off when we fly out to Seattle to pick up mine. We're leaving on May 5, so he's under a pretty tight timetable. But he's awesome at this, and he's done it before, so it should be cake. Plus he can't come unless it's finished.

What's cool about this is how the timing all worked out. We'll be picking up my gun just a couple of weeks after the launch of Portal 2. And while our trip is in no way officially connected with (or endorsed by) Valve, we will be visiting Valve and Child's Play while we're out there to say hello to all those awesome people. And we'll blog it right here for you fine folks!
