With the summer ending, I'm sure those of you readers of a certain age have either returned to school or college, or will within the next week or so. It is hoped that you will find time to read this comic in-between classes and schoolwork. Shouldn't take too long, actually.

However, now that our heroes have finally escaped the castle with the Princess in tow, I can tell you that Chapter 3 of Fantasy Qwest, like the summer of 2005, will soon be drawing to a close. Stay tuned for the last few comics of the chapter... and then Chapter 4 will rear its ugly head.

The Creator is back to school.
