Just under the wire

[dear_diearyz]

There's such a thing as completing something, a little comic book in this case, " just under the wire", and then there's completing it "mostly under the wire save for the bits above the neck being caught and ripped clean off because you were running so fast to the finish and sliding so maniacally that everyone that was cheering you on suddenly gasps and turns away in horror at what comes out the other end."

Or so the old expression I just made up goes.
