Darkling Eclectica, Episode 2203

As of last week:

The old KUCI website has been replaced by the new KUCI website. Which means that the old Darkling Eclectica page is no more. Maybe I'll put it up over on the server that hosts my webcomics, but till then, the name of the show below will no longer appear as a hyperlink. Ah, the turning of the world...

Created by the UCI Parking Department, I managed to wend my way to the station, and I actually remembered to play "June Night" this week! Now we can move on to July!
