Reality Amuck™

I try to not get too specific, but the situation in the Gulf of Mexico is insane. When I was writing the comics this week I kept having to bump the numbers up. By the time I got around to coloring the strips the numbers I used for how much oil had spilled were surpassed by the real numbers. I found this ticker on the PBS site if you'd like to see the estimated amount of oil blown into our waters. For references in the comic I've been using the "BP worst case" numbers.
