The System 267
Turns out you have to water them too.
SITE UPDATE: Starting today I’ll be resuming my post as an adjunct professor of graphic design for the semester. I only mention because due to the extended workload, I am going to be cutting the strip down to Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for the forseeable future. I know, many of you enjoy having The System be a daily part of your lives, and I truly appreciate that. This time isn’t being lost, it is actually going to go into other things that make this website run. Having time to work on the online store, the first book collection, and a redesign of the site. So all those days the comic doesn’t update, know that I’m still at my computer working hard for what we’ve built together, even if you aren’t seeing the results right away.
Next comic on Wednesday, all. Thanks as always for tuning in.

Perhaps it needed some conversation. Plants do enjoy conversation plus on the definite good side, they'll just listen and not criticize. Kind of nice, especially on "those" days. However, to be safe, I'd sneak it outside or into the "reading room" to converse or your fellow designers will have you taken away. Or, they could just think you are brainstorming out loud, or talking on the phone.

Congrats on the new position!
Sucks we won't get a daily dose of The System, but I'll find some way to cope

Thanks! 3 days a week isn't so bad. Stay tuned for ways you can help fill the gap.

Excellent suggestion, I live in Arizona and you only have to water them once a month.
