You WERE bad taking SEVEN months, just not AS bad as Sean taking 19 months! :-p

Did you ask me to touch myself while drawing the next picture? Sick bastard. Very well, though, consider it done.

I think we should ask Sean's wife to evaluate his seating position. She might have some solid input on the subject.
