update schedule and thanks where it's due

Patrick's story arc has taken a fair amount of time, and it's my intention to power on through it before the month is out. Part of this is because I've just come to a revelation on exactly what the story of our shadowy third clerk will center upon. I had always envisioned some details of his first story arc but until last night really had no clear idea just what the central conflict of his tale would be.

I should of course mention that I did not come to this epiphany on my own, but, as usual, received some help from Sean K, the same rowdy son of a bitch who has created virtually every piece of art for this site (often at a moment's notice). He has been in on The Last Clerks since the very beginning, and has always been a sounding board for the frequently ridiculous ideas I come up with. In this case, the seed he planted in my head for the first story arc of Spencer LaSalle has blossomed into a horrific, disfigured tree that gushes blood rather than sap when stabbed.

Which is to say, it's perfect. Stay tuned.
