Steam heat in the loft-- can't turn off the radiators. Horrible, but there it is.
(That's our story and we're sticking to it.)

Incidentally, Shannon Weaver also flatted this installment. Hi, Shannon!

What does "color flatted" mean?

Ah, what a flatter does... The flatter goes through the art in something like Photoshop, breaking it down into its basic components, separating areas with flat colors which are rendered, detailed and finished by the main colorist. Although flatting isn’t glamorous, it is a necessary stage in completing a comic nowadays.
Flat colors were what most comics looked like prior to about 1985 or so, then we started using airbrushes, watercolors, markers, and other neat effects.
A lot of inkers do similar things with assistants, I just prefer to make sure mine get credited.
Mark Sweeney has a good tutorial on flatting at http://www.mark-sweeney.com/Site-Pages/Tutorials/PDF-Tuto...
