7	A gag-per-day strip by Ryan Hudson (and sometimes his wife, Vee) that updates a few times a week on average. Early on most of the humor came from humorous "notes to self" which often had some sort of twist or double meaning to them. Over time this format slowly disappeared to make room for more varied humor, although "note to self" comics still appear from time to time. Please also take [[IncrediblyLamePun note]] that this comic makes heavy use of dark humor and is not recommended for the [[ShmuckBait easily offended.]] It can be found [[http://channelate.com/ here]].
