I am so not going to finish the next strip by tonight. In fact, I only have the bare bones outline written, with vague notions of angles and such. But, I did some extra stuff for the site this week, and I’ll lay that on you in a second.
As I rolled out of bed this morning…well, barely morning. I was in full recovery mode from the lack of sleep the night before. Anyway, as I staggered sullenly out of bed at 11:30, filled with guilt over lost time, time I could have been using to get the next strip underway, It struck me that lately I’ve been getting hosed at the back end of the week. Alot. I get a strip out on friday, maybe Saturday, after spending the early part of the week scrabbling to get caught up on missed homework assignments. So maybe, just maybe, If I work on the strip for next week starting today, I can get back up to two strips a week without killing myself. So, no strip today, but there should be one by this Tuesday, and (cross your fingers) another one by Saturday. I would LOVE to get this thing rolling along a little bit faster. I’m really driven to get these stories out, and as long as the quality doesn’t suffer I want to get as many done as I can.
Meanwhile, during class this week I managed to get some illustrations of Billy and Been penciled that I hope to put on some merchandise through printfection (I’ve got an old merch page, but the images on it are pretty outdated) real soon. What do you guys think? Do you like them? What kind of merchandise would you like to see them on?
Well, off to the drawing board. Later.

This basically sums up two of your characters, which for some reason makes me happy.
they are beautiful and I think you’re doing a good job. Your strips are worth the wait!
For personal reasons I need a new coffee mug. My girlfriends old Ani Difranco mug just doesnt really do anything for me.
Coffee mugs would be perfect, actually! The first one pretty much sums up how my day goes without coffee.
PS — Tell Sam I like his comics, too.
