/ JUL / 06 - 1508 CST : "Friendly Deception - Pt. V"
The
guest week has come to an end, and so today we get back to your regularly
scheduled Geek Tragedy storyline already in progress
.
As
I'm sure you might have already guessed judging from the black and
white version I've posted, the strip hasn't been fully coloured
quite yet. However I do plan to work on the colours a bit more
this afternoon before I go and grab some sleep. So if I'm up
with time to spare before I go to work tonight I'll be sure to
finish it off then. If not, I promise it'll be done for sure
tomorrow when I get home from work.
Also,
if you're looking for last week's guest strips, you can now find
them in the Alt strips section of the
site. And trust me, if you did miss them last week, there are
well worth checking out! Thanks again to Pete
and Lar for all their
help!
Speaking
of Pete, he now has Bardsworth
T-shirts up for sale! So if you've got a sec, head on over
there, check them out, and then buy a dozen or so for your closest
friends!
Well
that's it for me. I'm off to do a bit more work and then head
to bed.

/ JUL / 06 - 1531 CST : Lar to the rescue...
I
always love waking up to good news!
I
received an e-mail from Lar last night saying that he saw my blog
entry about how it looked like I was going to be short one guest
artist this week, and that he'd try to "whip some new guest art
together" to help me out. And
oh dear lord did he ever!
My
only problem now will be figuring out how to explain to my future
wife that ownership of our first born has already been sworn to
someone else.
My
more than heartfelt thanks go out to Lar
deSouza (I'm never sure if I should link LICD or his own
site...ah hell, I'll just do both)
for the time he took to help me out this week. You really went
above and beyond for me man!
And
once again I'd like to thank Pete
Tarkulich for providing me with Monday's guest strip (btw Pete,
when are those Bardsworth shirts gonna be up for sale?!). I
tell ya, it's good to have such kind and giving friends!
I
always get a kick out of seeing people's interpretation of my
characters, so this week has been a real kick for me.
Hopefully y'all won't be too disappointed when we go back to my own
artwork come Monday.
Well
that's all for now folks.
Later,
-Ed
0952 CST : Maybe, maybe not...
Hey
folks.
Well
it looks like there might be some guest art heading my way today
after all, but nothing's set in stone quite yet. If nothing
really pans out though, I'll make sure that I hunt through my stuff
and post a few sketches or something. Then, come Monday we'll
be getting back to normal with regular strip updates.
For
now though, I'm just about ready to catch some sleep.

27
/ JUL / 06 - 1649 CST : Tomorrow's guest artist will be...
Hey
folks. I've got some off the chain Geek Tragedy 411 to give
you peeps today, so let's do this thang (<---see that? That there
was hipster talk in an attempt to appeal to the youth of today which
will no doubt be undermined by the fact that I just followed it up
by using the word "hipster")!
I'm
his biggest fan...
Given
the fact that I haven't heard anything from the artist who was
scheduled to provide Friday's guest strip for days now , I'm pretty
much going under the assumption that I won't be getting anything
from them. So short of some artistic miracle happening in the
next 24 hours, it would appear that tomorrow's guest artist will
probably be me.
I
wasn't really sure if I'd be up to the challenge, but I thought
"What the hell, let's give the kid a shot!" I only
hope that I can live up to my expectations. However,
regardless of how well my work turns out, I'd just like to take this
moment to thank myself for taking the time out of my busy schedule,
and putting forth the effort needed to fill in for me while I take a
week off.
Required
reading...
Guess
what I got in the mail today? Here, I'll give you a hint...the
artwork for it was done by yesterday's guest artist.
Need
another hint? How about...this!
Now
I actually got to see a bit of a preview for this a while ago, so I
was pretty sure I knew what to expect, and what I expected was some
damn fine work. Now that I've seen the finished product though
all I can say is...holy hell was I ever wrong! This isn't damn
fine work, it's fan-fucking-tastic!
Within
the pages of this book is some of the finest work I've ever seen Lar
do, and he does it consistently on every freakin' page. Marc
Brunet (who I've never heard of before now) then takes Lar's work
and pushes it to a whole other level with his colours.
And
as for Ryan's writing...well let me ask you this? How often do
you laugh out loud when you read something while you're at home by
yourself? Okay, okay. I know it happens every time you read one of my
strips, but besides then, how often? Well I don't know
about you, but for me the answer is 'not very'. Well this
comic had me laughing out loud...and yes I was home
alone...painfully, painfully alone...with nothing but a bottle of
vodka and a rolled up copy of...
Anyway!
Long
story short, buy
this book! Granted it may not be for everyone, but if you
like sexual innuendo, or humor, or drinking, or laughing, or sex, or
some sort of combination there of, I think you'll enjoy it.
And
just so you know, my saying all that does not make me a whore!
Whores get paid. I did that for free.
So
I guess that just makes me a slut instead, huh?
GT
v3.0 ...
Last
but not least, the site redesign is going better than I thought it
would actually. I've still got a few issues to work out here
and there, but overall I'm fairly happy with my progress.
One
of the things I did before I went ahead with tweaking the site this
time was to check out as many other webcomic (and a few non
webcomic) sites that I could find in an effort to try and learn from
people who undoubtedly know more about web design than I do.
What I found amazing was how many different styles and designs there
are out there. Yet despite that fact there are certain fundamental
aspects of almost every site that seem to remain the same.
Now
for those of you who have grown used to/fond of the current design,
don't worry. I think once you see the revamp (which could be
done as soon as September) you'll find that in essence it's rather
similar to this version. However, I will be making one major
change to the structure of the site. For several reasons too
boring to bother getting into, I've decided to merge "The
Strip" section of the site with the front (Blog Tragedy) page.
Now
I doubt that'll really affect or mean much to most (if any) of you,
but I figured I'd let y'all know about that particular change well
in advance just in case.
Oh,
and on a side note, of all the sites I checked out I have to say
that in my opinion I thought Starslip
Crisis had by far my favorite design. Seriously, if you
have a sec go over there and check out what Kristopher Straub has
done to display his work to the world. Maybe it's just my lack
of expertise in this area, but I think he did an amazing job
creating one hellova tight webcomic site (look ma! I can rhyme!)
Oh
yeah, one more thing...
Along
with the new design I'm hoping to integrate a better bloggin system
directly within the site. For the most part I'm fine with the
way I have things set up, but I know that with a little bit of work
I could make things a lot easier on me in the furture.
In
the mean time though, I've managed to set up a temporary RSS feed
through Word Pess.
So if you're into that sort of thing, click
here to subscribe to the GT feed (I'll be sure to put up a more permanent
link to this somewhere on the site in the next few days).
Well
that's all for now folks. See y'all tomorrow when I post my
guest strip!
-Ed
PS:
Oh, and I found myself so inspired by Pete over at Bardsworth
that I went ahead and set up a Livejournal
for GT. So far I've pretty much only posted the same thing
there that I posted here for the last couple of days, but who
knows. Maybe in the future I'll also use it to pour my heart
out, and share my dark and tortured poetry with all of you as well.

/ JUL / 06 - 0956 CST : "Guest Artist : Lar deSouza"
Howdy
y'all!
Guest
Artist Week continues here at GT, as we
have a wonderful strip done by none other than Lar deSo...
I'm
sorry...what I meant to say was...
We
have a wonderful strip done by none other than the award
winning Lar deSouza of Least
I Could Do fame. Many of you who have been coming to the
site for a while now no doubt know just how highly I think of Lar
and his work. So it should come to no surprise to any of you
that I was thrilled beyond words when he offered to take some time
away from his busy schedule to help me out this week. After
all, I've been blown away by Lar's interpretation of my Characters
every time he's taken a crack
at them in
the past.
Oh,
and I should also mention that today's strip is the first collaboration
I've ever had the opportunity to take part in with another
artist. Though truth be told, I had the much easier part of
the bargain here as I just came up with the joke, whereas Lar was
the one who breathed life into it with his artwork.
Thanks
Lar, I owe ya one (or maybe eight)!
Okay
folks. I'm off to see if I can't get rid of this
skull-pounding headache I've got going on here. Seriously, I
can't tell ya how glad I am that I didn't have to do the strip today
as the last thing I feel like doing is staring at a monitor for
hours on end. And speaking of not wanting to stare at a
monitor...

/ JUL / 06 - 1703 CST : Tomorrow's guest strip...
Hey
folks.
Just
dropping by to let you know that I'll be posting the next guest
strip first thing tomorrow morning when I get home from work.
As for Friday's guest strip...well I'm actually still waiting on
that one to be sent to me. I'm sure it'll arrive in time
though...no doubt about it...yep.
Anyway,
that's all for now. Talk to y'all tomorrow.
Later,
-Ed

24
/ JUL / 06 - 1917 CST : Breaking shit on purpose...
Hey
guys.
One
of the big reasons I wanted to take this week off from doing the
strip was so that I could finally have the extra time I needed to
make some headway on revamping the site. For the most part any
work I'm doing on the revamp shouldn't really affect the current
incarnation of the site. However, I have been
doing a bit of restructuring today, so you may find yourself running
into a spot of trouble when you click on a link leading to one of
the strips.
Now
if you're clicking on a link from within this site that takes you to
a specific strip and it seems to be dead, simply refresh the page
where the link is located, and then everything should be working
fine again. If it's not, then please drop me an e-mail or post
the problem you're having on the forum, and I'll fix it up just as
soon as I can.
On
the other hand, if you're clicking on a link from another site or
from your browsers favorites that leads directly to one of the
strips and you find it's no longer working...well there isn't really
anything I can do about that. Sorry.
Okay
folks, I'm heading back to bed.
Later,
-Ed
1023 CST : "Guest Artist: Peter Tarkulich"
Well
folks, today we kick off Guest Artist Week (aka : Crazy Eddie's
Slackfest '06) here at Geek Tragedy with some
artwork kindly donated to the cause by Peter Tarkulich.
On
top of being the creative force behind his own webcomic, Bardsworth
(which BTW has just recently rolled on by the 100 strip milestone),
Pete is also one of Geek Tragedy's biggest supporters. He's
been an active contributor to the GT forum pretty much from the
moment it went live, has helped promote the site countless times in
the past with seemingly every chance he get, and is always quick to
share with me any ideas he may have that might help out my own
efforts to pimp it to the public. I
only wish I could get my act together with GT the way Pete has with Bardsworth
(maybe one day I'll have buttons, a Myspace
page, and a Livejournal
all set up to help spread the word about the site).
Anyway,
I'd just like to say "Thanks Pete!" And not just for
helping me out this week with the strip, but for everything
you've done to help the site over the past year!
Well
that's all for now folks. I'll either be back later today, or
sometime tomorrow to let y'all know exactly what it is I'm doing
with my time off and how it'll affect the site.
Later,
-Ed
******
23
/ JUL / 06 - 0911 CST : Starting a bit early...
Well
at this point it looks like I ended up getting a bit of an early
start on that week off I'm taking, doesn't it? Sorry about the
lack of strippage on Friday folks, but like I said before, I was
helping my mother out for the past couple of days and I just didn't
have the time I needed to work on it.
Hopefully
you guys can find it in your heart to forgive me though, as I'm sure
y'all can understand just how hard it can be to refuse the woman who
was kind enough to give you life when she asks for your help.
Especially when that same woman is capable of wielding motherly
guilt with the same brutal efficiency that your average Sith Lord
uses to manipulate the force (I think most of you out there know
exactly what I'm talking about here, right?).
And
to be be perfectly honest, I also had the opportunity to make a bit
of extra cash this weekend and I couldn't really pass that up
either. 'Cause despite the fact that Geek Tragedy is a blast
for me to do, it isn't quite paying the bills yet I'm afraid.
Anyway,
Monday's strip
will be the first of the three guest strips I'll be posting this
week, and I can assure you it'll be up first thing tomorrow morning.
Talk to you then folks.
Later,
-Ed

21
/ JUL / 06 - 1153 CST : Family first...
Hey
folks.
It
looks like today's strip will be late after all, as I'm just about
to head over to my mother's place to help her out with a few things
and won't have time to finish it off before I do. That's
right, I've now gone so far as to resort to blaming my poor dear
mother for the strip being late...but then again it is all her fault
so it's hard for me to feel bad about it.
I
tried to find some extra time to work on it before today so this
wouldn't happen, but I came up short. I'm
hoping to be able to get it done late tonight if everything goes
well though, so you can look for it to be up as early as Saturday
morning.
I'd
also like to mention that unless something rather dramatic happens
to change my mind, after
this weekend I'll be taking a week off from doing the strip.
I've talked about doing this for a few months, but till now I kept
putting it off for one reason or another.
Don't
worry though, I wouldn't leave y'all for a week without offering up
something to keep you entertained, so
I'll be posting guest strips / art this coming Monday, Wednesday,
and Friday.
Plus, if a couple of the guest art "maybes" end up panning
out, I may even have updates for you on Tuesday and Thursday as well
Anyway,
I better get my ass in gear and take off. I'll be sure to come
back and post when the strip is up.
Later,
-Ed

/ JUL / 06 - 1834 CST : "Friendly Deception - Pt. IV"
Alrighty
folks, today's strip is up.
I
should also mention that Friday's strip might be
late. I'm not 100% certain about this right now, but there
is a chance, so I figured I'd warn you a bit in advance just in
case.
Well
that's all for now.
Later,
-Ed
1503 CST : You don't
know what you got...
...till
some bastard bans your site at work and you can't even check your
e-mail or read the freakin' forum on your break!
But
I digress...
For
those of you have been waiting patiently for it, I wanted to let ya
know that the newest comic will be up in a few hours. And just
so you know, this is one of those strips I talked about on Monday
that won't end with or even contain a joke (unless of course I end
up changing the script between now and when I put it up). It's
strictly a plot driver. Hopefully y'all aren't gonna be too disappointed
by this though.
Anyway,
I'll be back in a few.
Later,
-Ed

17
/ JUL / 06 - 1633 CST : "Friendly Deception - Pt. III"
After
a long absence Blue Bird has returned to Geek
Tragedy in this strip, and yes, she's sporting a new look.
Some of you may have seen the revamped Blue Bird pic I posted a long
time ago as a voting incentive (back when I had GT up on the now
defunct Webcomiclist.com), but for those of you who missed it...
While
she does look a bit different from the above drawing, I stuck pretty
close to my original plan. I
should also mention that I played around with her colouring when I
did today's strip. I like how it turned out, but I'm not sure
if it was really worth the extra time it took, so I may not repeat
that in later strips.
Well,
that's it for now folks. I may be back tomorrow to gab a bit
more, but if not than I'll see you on Wednesday when the next strip
is up.
Later,
-Ed
1053 CST : On tap for today...
Hey
folks.
First
off, I've finally changed the "of the moment"
selection. For those of you who haven't checked it out yet, I
strongly recommend you go and see what they have to offer over at 10.
The linkup in the box will take you to one of my favorite shows so
far (as cruel as this may sound, seeing the expression on Laura's
face by the end of the segment cracked me up), however you should
really take a second to view as many of the shows as you can (or all
of them if you have the time).
Aside
from adding that link, there will be a new strip up today sometime
in the afternoon. I'd give you a more specific time, but it
seems whenever I do that shit always goes horribly wrong and I miss
my mark by a few hours. Still, I'll be sure to pop back and
let you know when it's up.
I
should also note that while there will be funny bits sprinkled
throughout the strips in this particular tale, not all of them will necessarily
end in a joke. I do try my best not to let that happen
too often, but with the more story driven segments like this one,
sometimes I just can't fit a gag right in the last panel.
Hopefully you'll still get a kick out of them though.
Last
but not least, those of you who are expecting T-shirts will be happy
to know that I'm mailing them out today, so you should be getting
yours in about a week.
That's
all for now guys.
Later,
-Ed

14
/ JUL / 06 - 1955 CST : "Friendly Deception - Pt. II"
Yes,
I've actually managed to get Friday' strip is up on Friday,
and I did it well before midnight too.
I can only assume that this a sign of the apocalypse and we will all
be wiped out by Monday.
Now
before I pack it in for the night, there was a couple things I
wanted to mention about the current story line. The least
important of which is that this is the first time I've have had a
chance to put Casey and Grey alone together within the comic.
And now that I have, I'm pretty sure I've finally managed pair up
each of the core four characters together one on one.
See,
I told you it wasn't really and important insight.
What
is important though, is that this tale will heavily touch upon the
main underlining story line of Geek Tragedy. Which, in case
you've forgotten, is the deal Casey struck with the powers that be (specifically
Blue Bird), and how it spurred Noname's quest for a life so that he
won't be doomed to live the same half-life that Casey currently
is. If you're not sure what I'm talking about, then perhaps
you should jump back to the very beginning
and read the first half a dozen or so strips (if you do decide to do
that however, please excuse the art...I was young and feeble back
then).
In
truth, I've been meaning to produce this story since shortly after Christmas
Day of the Dead came to a close, but I kept putting it off for
one reason or another. And while I don't want to spoil any of
the upcoming strips for you, I will say that this tale will have a
major impact on Geek Tragedy in both the near and far future.
Well,
I think I've said enough for now. I'll try to pop by this
weekend if for no other reason than to change the content of the
"Of the Moment" box at long last. 'Cause even though
"a moment" may be a relative term, I don't think it should
really be used to describe the time it takes for seasons to change,
do you?

13
/ JUL / 06 - 1503 CST : "Friendly Deception - Pt. I"
Before
I say anything else, I'd like to send out a Happy
Birthday to
Pete over at Bardsworth.
I'm not sure how old Pete is, but I think he's older than me.
Which I have to admit makes me feel pretty good. You see most of the time
I always seem to be surrounded by folks who are younger than me,
which in turn
makes me feel rather old.
Not
that I mind the fact that pretty much all my friends are younger
than me, but it's getting to the point where I constantly feel like I should be
carrying butterscotch candies around with me that I can hand
out to the youngsters while I rattle one about he good old
days...but I digress.
Also,
Pete is going to be celebrating his 100th strip on Friday, and then
attending Sac-Anime
this weekend to help promote his site. So if you're in that
neck of the woods this weekend, be sure to drop by and give Pete
some love. Not too much love though, after all the dude is
married. I'd suggest picking up one of his T-shirt in lieu of
a grope.
On10...
As
well, I'd also like to give a shout out to Duncan
Mackenzie for being so kind as to mention me on his blog
recently (and in turn sending some traffic my way). As I
mentioned before, Duncan works for on10.net
(among other things) and recently did an interview with me about
webcomics. There is no word yet as to when the interview will
hit the web, but in the mean time you
may want to check out this bit of video over at 10.
It's basically and introduction to the 10 team who work so
hard to put the show together, and will also give you a bit of a
rundown as to what it's like to work on the show.
And
last but not least...
The
full coloured version of yesterday's strip is now up.
If
you read through the last few blog entries you may get a bit of an
idea that finishing it off was a less than wonderful experience for
me, but in the end I think it was worth it. I'll talk a bit
more about this storyline on Friday when the next installment will
be up (or so I dearly freakin' hope!), but for now I've gotta run.
Later,
-Ed
1103 CST : One day I'll learn...
I've
really got to get it through my head that when I try to work on the
strip when I'm dead tired, more often than not I'll just end up
screwing shit up.
Anyway,
I wanted to drop by and let y'all know that the colouring is going
much better this morning than it was late last night. I'll be
getting back to it in a couple of minutes, but I thought I should
drop by and post a pic to show the progress so far.
That's
all for now folks. I'll be back when the comic is fully
coloured.
Later,
-Ed
0207 CST : FUCK!
Okay,
I posted the line art for this strip along
with the text. The way things are going right now, if I
keep trying to do the colours...well I'll probably just end
up throwing my computer through the damn window. So instead I'm
going to get a bit of sleep, and then start in on it again a little
later on.
On
a side note, I urge everyone who does any type of work on a computer
to SAVE OFTEN! 'Cause not doing so will only drive a
person to a murderous rage when your computer inevitably crashes at
the worse possible time.
Oh,
and the first person who tells me to buy a Mac gets a spanking!
Later,
-Ed
PS:
As much as I'd like to blame my computer for this delay, in truth I
know it's my own damn fault. However that doesn't really make
it any easier to swallow...
0015 CST : A few more hours...
The
strip looks like it'll be done around 3 or 4 am. I'm just glad
that I'm not working tonight or else it would've been delayed till
around noon.
See
ya in a few.

12
/ JUL / 06 - 2018 CST : ETA update...
Hey
guys,
Pencils,
inks and part of the colours are done for today's strip.
However I now have to do a bit of unscheduled running around, so
I've got to hold off on finishing it up for the time being.
With any luck the comic will still be up just before midnight, but
it could be pushed back till the wee hours of the night instead.
Anyway,
I'll give you guys a heads up when I get back and have a better idea
of when the strip will be done.
Later,
-Ed
1006 CST : Sleep, then strip...
Hey folks.
The
newest comic will but up today, but not till later on in the
evening. I'd prefer to have it up sooner than that, but it
seems that after a week of sleeping during the night my body clock
is pretty screwed up right now, so I'm actually in desperate need of
going to bed ASAP. Hopefully this won't last too long and I'll
be able to go back to sleeping during my normal screwed up hours
again very soon.

1913
CST : Back to the grind...
Today's
strip will be up in a few hours, and then after that it's back to

09
/ JUL / 06 - 2359 CST : And now that I've stopped coughing
every ten seconds...
I
can finally make with that blog entry I kept talking about.
One
last call for artists...
Well
it seems that I have the minimum of three guest strips / art locked
right now for my upcoming week off (plus I also have a couple
"maybes" out there), but I'm still more than happy to
accept a few others. So if anyone wants to throw their
artistic hat in the GT ring, just drop me an e-mail.
Right
now I'm looking to start my week off from the strip on either July
17th or the 24th. Anyone who contributes will be mentioned
here in the blog, and I'll link to your site (if you have one) via
the strip as well. So if you'd like a bit of extra traffic
thrown your way, this may be a good way of going about it.
My
thanks to those of you who have already helped out with this, and I
look forward to hearing from those of you who may decided to
contribute in the week or two ahead.
Proving
good things do happen to good people...
Some
of you may remember me mentioning a few weeks ago that Lar
deSouza of LICD was
up for a an Aurora
Award in the category of Artistic Achievement. Well I'm thrilled
to say that I just received word that Lar
has walked away a winner this year!
Not
to take anything away from his competition, but I personally can't
think of anyone more deserving of such positive attention than Lar.
Congratulations bud, you deserve it!
Some
people win awards, others get banned...
Recently
I talked about how Geek Tragedy received a bit of exposure in one of
the local papers. Well since that article came out I've had a
few people from work come up to me and tell me that they've checked
out my site, and liked what they've seen. This has been rather
gratifying for me because as someone who does straight midnight
shifts I'm always happy to find out that anyone from work
even knows I exist (after working there for five years some folks I
run into still think I'm "the new guy"). However,
it would appear that being known at work while running a website on
the side has it's price.

days into my week off I received a couple e-mails informing me that
Geek Tragedy has now landed itself on the list of
"restricted" sites at work. So it would seem that
maybe I ended up getting a bit too much attention from my
co-workers.
Of
course seeing as how this site is totally non-work related I can't
exactly blame them for doing this. Plus I once read that you
haven't really started to make it on the web until you've either
been sued or banned by someone, so I guess in some strange way this
is sort of a good thing. Oh yeah, and let's not forget that
these folks also pay my salary, which in turn allows me to stay fed
and pay the mortgage, so all in all I have nothing really negative
to say about their decision. In fact...
I
urge everyone out there who lives in Canada to take some time and
call 1 888 2 DONATE in order to set up an appointment to
donate blood. Trust me when I say that doing so really can
help save lives.
And
if you do decide to donate, be sure to tell them that Geek Tragedy
sent ya!
To
hell with taking the red or blue pill, make mine green...
The
little green gel caps I took a while ago are starting to kick in
now, and my brain is filling up with that good old NyQuil fog, so I
think it's time to call it a night. The way this cold is going
I'm thrilled to say that I should be feeling much better just in
time for my week off to end. What swell timing!
Anyway,
I'm sure I'll have more to say tomorrow after I post the next strip
so I'll see y'all then.

/ JUL / 06 - 1657 CST : Sick and tired...
I
haven't had much of a chance to sit down and write that long entry
that I was planning on. In the mean time you can check
out this forum post to see part of what I plan to cover in it.
Okay,
I'll either be back here late tonight, or tomorrow in the evening.

/ JUL / 06 - 2054 CST : "Sick Day"
Given
the current state of my health I decided to
go in a much different direction with the strip than I had
originally planned.
I'd
love to stick around and say more, but now that today's comic is
done and I no longer have much need for my mental faculties, I think
it's high time that I say hello to my good friend NyQuil gel caps.

PS:
I really do have more I'd like to tell you folks, but it'll have to
wait till tomorrow. Sorry.
0829 CST : Perfect timing...
Hey
folks.
Sorry
I didn't manage to drop by yesterday to say hi, but on top of having
some running around to do it would appear that I've managed to catch
myself a nice little cold during my week off from work.
Despite the fact that I feel rather miserable right now I wanted to
let y'all know that it shouldn't do anything to affect today's strip
update, so don't worry about that.
I
do have a bunch of stuff I wanted to tell you about though, so I'm
still going to try and make with that longwinded post I talked about
on Wednesday. However, depending on how I feel as the day goes
on, I may not get around to it till I post the strip or possibly
even tomorrow.
Well
that's it for now. I'm off to make some more tea, and then get
my sick ass back to working on the strip.

/ JUL / 06 - 2138 CST : "Night Out - Pt. XVII"
And
so we bring this tale of getting laid,
slapped and jailed to a close.
I
don't have much to say right now, but I'm pretty sure I'll be doing
one of my more longwinded blog posts tomorrow. So either keep
a look out for that, or avoid it like the plague depending on how
you feel about those.
Alrighty,
I'll talk to y'all tomorrow.

1428 CST : Why does the sun have to be so freakin'
bright...
Hey
folks.
The
last installment of the (overly?)long "Night Out" saga
will be up later this evening. One of the main reasons why the
strips are going up so much later than usual (and will most likely
continue to do so through till Monday) is because I've currently
switch my life back to a day schedule while on my week off. So
instead of being up in the wee hours of the night to work on it, I
end up getting started in the morning instead.
But
enough making excuses for now. I've got to go run some errands,
and then I'll be back at it.

/ JUL / 06 - 2252 CST : "Night Out - Pt. XVI"
Okay,
the second last installment of this storyline
has just come online. It's a bit wordy, late, and not
exactly the best I've ever done, but at least it's...uh...finished?
Anyway,
sorry for the wait folks. On the bright side, Wednesday's
strip will be up in less than 24 hours so you won't have too long to
wait till you can get your next GT fix.
Well
that's it for me. See ya all tomorrow.

CST : Like drawing through cement...
Sorry
this is taking so long folks. I've been in kind of a blah mood
all day so I've really been dragging my ass. However I don't
have to work tonight (or any night for the next seven days) so I'll
be able to stay up as long as it takes to get it done.
See
ya in another hour or so,
-Ed
1623 CST :No I haven't forgotten you...
I
took a nap, but now I'm back to plugging away at the strip.
Look for it to be up around 8pm or so.

0951 CST : Today's
strip...
No ETA on it yet, but I
can say for sure that there will definitely be a new strip up today
for you guys to look at. And yes, it'll be in colour.
I'll
drop by again to give you a heads up as I get closer to knowing for
sure when it's going to be done.

03
/ JUL / 06 - 0901 CST : I'm back...
Hey
folks.
Well
I got back late last night and then had to head off to work a few
hours later, so I'm totally exhausted right now. There will be
a new strip up tomorrow though, and then again on Wednesday and
Friday. Plus, I'm hoping I'll be up early enough today to
colour Friday's strip before work as I'd kinda prefer not to have
any more B&W strips floating around the archives than I do
already.
For
now though, I'm off to get some much needed sleep.
