I can always be tricked into revealing things, mostly because I forget it’s a secret. The best thing, as I said in the comic, is to layer in the truth so that when I remember half way through, I am covered.

A long time ago, when I had a surprise birthday party for Keren, I told her that I was holding a birthday party for her. I didn’t tell her that it was going to be a huge party extravaganza. That way, if any of the 50 to 100 people accidentally let it slip, she wouldn’t have been surprised.

I don’t remember how many people came to that party. There were a lot. I got my hotmail account banned for all the emails I sent out.

I was sure I made a comic that started off as the first panel before, but I couldn’t find it. I really need to find a way to reference everything. That’s one reason why I started doing transcripts!
