Once I know what the situation is with work going forward (this will be after the holidays), I will know what and how things will change. There are different scenarios available based on how things turn out.

As to what brings me to the site today, I must sadly announce the passing of one of our dogs this evening. Vienna was, for the most part, the best behaved dog we had. Even though it has been only two years since we adopted her, she has been a great pet. These past couple of months have been difficult for us since we have known she is dying but she has rarely shown any difficulties before today.

The mess and clean-ups will not be missed; however, she greatly will be.

It’s that time of year for Americans to gather with family and recollect what we are thankful for (or at least attempt to while gorging on Turkey, potatoes and gravy, and watching football - now up to three games today!).

For me, I know I’m thankful for my wife and our families. They have been really supportive.

I’m also thankful for my new job. It could not have come at a better time.

Speaking of work, that is why nothing has happened of late. I always forget what the first week does to me at a new job. It also helps that I got a bunch of hours this week over what I was originally scheduled.

At this point I don’t know if I will have an image posted Tuesday (this is going to be a very busy weekend for me - holiday, work, work, and well, more work), but I will at least make a post to catch up. My schedule at Best Buy is set, regular and full (it looks like I will now be the regular morning stock person), for next week, so I should be able to dig in to this mound of work on my desk.

Going forward I should be able to get back on track (especially if they keep my schedule like the one next week). The new style will take a bunch of work, and will open a ton of new doors, but will take a few weeks before it is ready. More on this next week.

Cheers!

Now, as for what is actually going on, there are a few things.

1) I started work at Best Buy today. While this will take up a bit of my time, I am hoping that it will have little impact on the comic (todays absence is not due to my work at Best Buy).

2) I believe I have settled on the style, or look, I would like to use. Only issue is it will take a little bit to work out and get everything up and running. I am unsure how long this process will take, but I’m guessing at least a couple of weeks.

All that being said, I will start releasing “teasers” on the regularly scheduled days (Tuesdays and Fridays) until the comic comes back up. The plan is to “restart” the comic (so to speak, though the content will pretty much match what is already there since the story has not changed, just the look) with the new look. Never fear though, I plan on releasing the new pages once a day, or every other day, until the comic is back up to it’s current place and then we will proceed as normal.

More is coming soon.

Cheers!

To say the least, this has been a difficult aspect for me. I guess it comes from only occasionally drawing during my life and then deciding to do a comic!

This is a busy weekend for me so I don’t know how many more interludes I will have but I will be back onto the comic soon. One way or another this will not go on longer then next week!

I apologize for the hold up. I’ve just wasted many hours trying to fix my already broken glasses and I have to wait a few hours for the glue to fully set (and I hope this works).

On top of that, I need to sleep, and because of how this schedule works, if I don’t do it now, I won’t get any sleep today. Never mind that it’s election day and I will be up late to boot!

Speaking of which, if you still have not voted, go out and vote! (This way you are entitled to complain for the next four years if the person you voted for loses.)

Actually, after long deliberation over this weekend, I’ve decided to switch the schedule (yes, once again - hey! Don’t you roll your eyes at me!) back to twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays.

There are many reasons for the switch back, but let me say it is not because of a lack of time. In fact, I generally have plenty of time to output three a week.

While I’m improving, my art is still very haphazard to say the least. I’m still discovering the “style” for this comic, and while also trying to balance it to my current talent level. I could use the extra time during the week to help speed up the process a bit instead of worrying about outputting another page.

There is also a second project that I have been looking forward to get cracking on for Goblin Glory. This takes away the excuse from starting.

I’m also looking to get a part-time job for the holidays to keep this boat running. Drawing at this point in my career is not very lucrative.

I plan on reverting back to the three times a week (or possibly even five) at some point, but probably not until after the holidays.

Hopefully this works for everyone, if not (or something else), leave a comment!
