If you're following my Twitter feed, you know that I finished issue #8 yesterday! Well, technically it was this morning, I think. And the book itself isn't done completely.

I like this issue a lot. I think it's up there with #5 and 6 which are personal favorites, I think. Hopefully, every one has gotten better, but occasionally I'll have an issue where I don't quite have the "feel of the ball".

Answers will appear in the next day or so.
