I envisioned a one-month break between parts of this series. It is
about to come to four months.
I may have wasted some of the time. But I've recently been using it
well. My computer now has an external touchscreen monitor, and I've
trained two pens to work with it. That is more difficult than you many
think. The external monitors work only with *capacative* styluses which
are powered by your own touch, just like you would touch the screen with
your finger. Microsoft, on the other hand, has always encouraged me to
buy powered styluses (either rechargeable or with batteries). Microsoft
has my permission to go dump its product now.
But I've also discovered, a mouse is a mobility device. I often want to
edit stuff inside a big screen. I'll never pick the exact spot with a
stylus pen, but I can twitch my mouse and get it.
Since I got the new screen, I've easily prepared four Powernaut comics
for publication. That's my criterion for proceeding with any Powernaut
series.
So, it's ready - six strips, four of which are fully colored, in preview
form. I have a tradition of keeping my full series online as much as
possible, until such time as I actually start publishing. It's an
online backup. *And* it lets Rob Rogers read even more Powernaut Comics
to his children. 8{D>
Sometime around next Monday, I will shut down the preview and start
publishing Powernaut Comics again, week by week. So, get 'em while you
can! And note that the plot may change after you preview them. (Rob
and Arthur put me up to that, when it happened shortly after RACCCon 2019.)

The soldiers presented a pathetic but inspiring spectacle. The
hospitals were crowded with sick and wounded; the walls were
gradually crumbling under incessant shell fire, yet that garrison
of heroes remained undaunted.
It was as Buck said, "just as if they had been Americans."
- from "The Airship Boys in the Great War", De Lysle F. Cass, 1915.
