    Heh… My England-born grandmother told me about this one.

    When teams of workmen had to travel away from home to a work site (railway laying, mining, lumberjacks, etc) they’d usually have temporary housing nearby. In the mornings, a supervisor would have the job of walking around knocking on doors with a stick to wake the workers up for the day; thus, “knocking up”.

    Frankly, the US-English use of the phrase is harder to make sense of. Been trying to find an explanation or origin for it without success.

Troublesome Ads

So, it seems some of you are seeing ads that are blocking the comic.  Which is unfortunate, because that like ruins the whole point, right?  The ads are supposed to be running in their designated play area, and I am not exactly thrilled to learn that there are either some buggy ads out there or that some clever asshole is playing Shawshank Redemption with Javascript and CSS.

Unfortunately we haven’t seen any of them, so we need your help to track them down.  Please email/comment with screen shots, ad urls or descriptions of the offending ads.  We have filters that might hide your comments but I will be monitoring for those.

We’ll report the offending ads to our providers for immediate removal.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your help.

Reader Crystal Hill pointed out that we have been entered into ComicMix’s March Madness 2012, a contest in which we are destined to be destroyed by either Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, Questionable Content or Penny Arcade.

Please vote for us to prolong our horrible suffering!

Calgary!

Okay, just spent $540 shipping 229 books to Calgary. (They’re printed in Canada, so in theory they’ll be okay crossing the border?) PLEASE come buy them from me at Calgary Expo next month! (I really don’t want to ship them back)
