No comic today - I had the pencilling done, but what with one thing and another never managed to ink it. So instead: Step 1 in the do-it-yourself Ancient Egyptian horn bow kit. once you've caught it, remove horns, shove on wooden stick, add bowstring, and voilà! You have an Early Dynastic horn bow.

Why no comic:

• Last weekend. getting it together to go to the UK.
• Monday and Tuesday: Running after real estate agent, organising a viewing of objects in Oxford, getting a room in Oxford. Oh, yeah, and work.
• Wednesday: packing, last minute errands (gifts for the very nice people who are putting me up and putting up with me)
• Thursday: flying in to Heathrow and taking the train to Oxford
• Friday: looking at horn bows.
• Saturday: off to Monmouth, Wales.
• Sunday: off to Swansea, Wales.
• Monday: give lecture about Ancient Egyptian horn bow.
• Tuesday: enjoy the rest of the conference
• Wednesday: take train back to London and fly home to Munich.

There is supposed to be a livestream of the conference, but no details known as of writing this (Tuesday, the first one.)

Speaking of TWC, they have a clever contest going on right now:
