For those followin' along -- and for those folks who'd like to jump in -- I'll post the previous installments of our Saturday-Only Storyline below. Open all the numbers in new tabs in your browser, and you can read the story like 1-2-3.

I'd like to thank everyone who has written in with kind words about these little side stories. It's fun to step out of the normal routine and write different kinds of tales...and I'm glad to hear you've been enjoying them as well.

(Interestingly enough, this current storyline has made me want to write a 20-to-30-page children's book with just Flaco and Arthur...but we'll see...we'll see...)

In any case, here are the previous installments: 1 , 2 , 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.
