It
may be black and white today, but the strip
is up none the less.
Sorry
I didn't have time to colour it, but I've got a ton of stuff to do
before I head off for the weekend, and I'm running out of
time. I'll see y'all on Monday though.
Take
care, and have a great weekend everybody. Oh, and happy Canada Day
to everyone on my side of that border!

/ JUN / 06 - 1732 CST : "Night Out - Pt. XIV"
Well
the full and complete strip is now up.
Just
a couple of things to say before I head to bed.
The
last panel of this comic is, in my opinion at least, the best thing
I've done to date. Especially when it comes to the
colours. It is also the hardest thing I've ever had to draw as
well. I can't even begin to explain to you how much I
struggled with it (sufficed to say , I've still got a long way to go
before I've mastered human anatomy). I'm glad I GT isn't an
action comic. 'Cause if I had to draw shit like that every
second day, I'd lose my freakin' mind.
I
should also mention that drawing Noname clocking that dude was a lot
of fun (and more than a little cathartic), and haven't enjoyed
drawing him that much since he went Bruce
Campbell on some zombie ass.
And
last but not least I wanted to let you folks know that I'll be out
of town Friday evening, as I'll be spending the weekend with friends
at the cabin. What this means in regards to the site is that Fridays
strip should still be up on time, but I may have to leave it as
black and white.
As
well, I won't be getting back till god knows when on Sunday, and
will then have to head out to work that same night. So I have
no idea what shape I'll be in come Monday morning when I get off
work or if I'll have a strip up that day. So there is a
chance that Monday's strip will be up late too.
Sorry
about a this possible lateness folks, but trust me when I say that I
really need a weekend to just sit back and relax.
Alrighty,
I'm off. See you guys tomorrow.
-Ed
1412 CST : Just a teaser...
Hey folks.
If
you want to see a spoiler for how the newest strip ends I've posted
the last panel (which on it's own is actually the same size as one
of my standard strips) in The Strip
area. Now I still have three much smaller (and less colour
intensive) panels left to do, but I figured I've kept y'all waiting
so long now that I should post something ASAP.
However,
if you don't want the ending of today's strip to be revealed to you
before you see the ones leading up to it, you should wait a couple
more hours till I post the full strip. I'll be sure to let you
know here when they're done.
Okay,
back to work!

28
/ JUN / 06 - 1315 CST : The silence has lifted...
Hey
folks.
Well
it looks like I was correct yesterday when I said that Wednesday's
strip may be up late (I'll have it done tomorrow), but at least I
can tell you why now.
The
day after the newspaper article came out a fellow by the name of
Duncan Mackenzie contacted me to ask if I'd like to do an
interview. It would seem that when Duncan isn't busy doing
software development for Microsoft or writing Xbox for Dummies books
(among other things), he shoots and conducts interviews for 10
(www.on10.net). And as luck would have it, he just so
happened to be in town visiting relatives (he's originally from
Winnipeg) and saw the article.
Of
course, being the budding media whore that I am, I agreed to the
interview.
Now
I was a little worried about it at first, as this time it was a
video interview and I'm not big on being on camera, but now that
it's over the only way I can even think to describe it...way fuckin'
cool!
Unfortunately,
much like with the newspaper interview, I was insanely tired when it
took place (which is pretty much the norm with me outside the hours
of midnight and 8am). Plus the second after it was over, which
was about an hour or so ago, I once again couldn't remember a damn
word I said. So it's my hope that through the magic of editing
10 somehow manages to me make
sound somewhat intelligent. Or barring that, perhaps not like
a total ass.
Well
there you have it folks. In a couple weeks time this interview
should be up online, and with any luck I'll score a bit more
attention for the site.
Oh,
and one more thing I should mention. After Duncan gets home,
the next interview he has lined up is with...wait for it...Mike
"Gabe" Krahulik and Jerry "Tycho"
Holkins of Penny Arcade!
I know! It makes you kinda wonder why the hell he was slumming
it with me, huh?
So
even though I know I'll never become as famous or successful as
those two webcomicing juggernauts, at least now I can always say
that we were both interviewed by the same guy. Small consolation
I know, but I'll take it.
Okay
folks, the strip will be up tomorrow. And as always I'm sorry
for the wait (but if it'll make you feel any better you can blame
Duncan).
Later,
-Ed
PS:
I should also say that Duncan is a really cool guy to talk to, and
that he really helped make this interview experience a lot of fun
(that's not sucking up btw, I'm just stating the facts).
Thanks Duncan!

/ JUN / 06 - 1500 CST : "Night Out - Pt. XIII"
It's
up now folks. Sorry for the delay.
There
is a chance that tomorrow's strip may be a bit late too, but for a
very good reason...I just can't tell you about it yet. But I
will say that it came about because of the article.
Later,
-Ed
1343 CST : Big ass typo...
It's
amazing how different a sentence can read for lack of a simple word
like "didn't". Thanks to my mom who found
that horrible typo.
Strip
should be up in an hour or so.
Later,
-Ed
0914 CST : Strip Club...
Hey
folks!
I
intended to write this after I got the strip up, but knowing myself
the way I do (which is intimately btw) I'm well aware of the fact
that I don't often feel up to doing the whole communicating with
words sorta thing once I've finished making all those pretty
pictures. So instead I figured it might be best to do it now.
*Some
may find it odd that my write up on the article may end up being
longer than the article itself, but hey. Something like this may
never happen again, so I'm gonna milk this puppy for all it's
worth!*
And
so away we go…
As
I mentioned yesterday, there was an article written recently in the
Winnipeg Free Press (one of our major local papers) about both Geek
Tragedy, and webcomics in general. I know there are a few of
you from outside the Winnipeg area who have asked if I could post
the article on the site so you could read it, and thanks to one of
the kind editors at the paper I've now been given permission to do
just that. So you can go ahead and give it a read by clicking on the
pics below.
Before
you do though it should be noted that:
A)
Yes, my forehead is really that huge.
B)
Within the article I may have overstated the number of webcomics
there are out there when I said "hundreds of thousands"
instead of "tens of thousands, if not a hundred thousand"
as I had intended to. In my defense though I was running on a combo
of beer and very little sleep when I did the interview, so cut me
some slack (I'm kidding about the beer mom).
As
well as wanting to see the article, some of you asked exactly how it
came about in the first place. Well if I had to sum it up in two
words, I think "dumb luck" would be rather accurate. But
if you'd prefer a horribly long winded explanation as to the
"how" of it all, than by all means read on.
Big
things can come from a little pimpin'...
You
might remember that in May I attended KeyCon, a local Sci-Fi and
Fantasy convention (and for those of you who're waiting for it, look
for that con report sometime next April!). On the second day of that
con my friends Travis and Steve, along with yours truly, all wore
our Geek Tragedy T-shirts. It was a premeditated fashion statement
with the sole intent of spreading the GT gospel…and scoring chicks…but
mostly it was about pimpin' the site.
It
should also be noted that Least
I Could Do's Lar deSouza
was spotted pimpin' the site by donning a GT-shirt that day as well.
Granted that has nothing really to do with this story, but Lar gives
me a nice shiny nickel every time I mention his name in my blog, and
I'm saving up for a laptop.
But
getting back to the tale at hand…
That
afternoon, following a fine lunch at one of the local pubs Travis,
Steve and I were making our way back to the con when we spotted this
women out for a jog heading towards us. As we started to clear a
path so she could get by, she began to slow down just enough to read
our shirts and then stopped to ask about why we were all wearing
matching shirts.
Now
my first instinct was to lie and say we were all members of a band.
'Cause lets face it, when a woman comes up out of the blue and
starts talking to you, would you rather tell her you’re a
musician, or guy who writes and draws dick jokes in his spare time?
However, despite my better judgment
I ended up telling the truth, and for once I'm glad I
did.
After
a couple more questions about my strip and what exactly a webcomic
was, she introduced herself as Gabrielle Giroday, and told us she
was a reporter for the Winnipeg Free Press. Gabrielle went on to say
that she thought this all sounded like it'd make an interesting
article. She said that she'd be sure to check out the site, and told
me I should drop her an e-mail about a possible interview. And
with that she jogged off into the sunset (okay, so it wasn’t
actually even close to being sunset yet, but I think I’m allowed a
bit of poetic license here).
Allow
me to stop for a sec and recap the two things I learned at this
point:
1)
Never lie to women.
2)
Even for a smaller site, or perhaps especially for a smaller
site, producing T-shirts really can help you promote your work
Geek
Tragedy gets inked...
Unfortunately,
Gabrielle was under too many deadlines to write the article herself,
but she was kind enough to pass the idea around amongst her
colleagues to see if they'd be interested. Lucky for me a
wonderfully talented writer by the name of Cheryl Binning saw that
there might be something there, and decided to run with it. That
same day she dropped me an e-mail, set up a time for an interview,
and the rest is Geek Tragedy history.
To
tell the truth, I was kinda worried about how the article would turn
out. Not because I thought Cheryl would do a bad job, but because I
couldn't remember a damn word I said in the interview and was
convinced I came off sounding like bleedin' idiot. After all, I was
extremely tired when we talked, and more than a little nervous. And
in the past I've been known to say some pretty dumb shit when either
of those two forces were pressing down on my brain.
In
the end, I don't think I could've asked for anything more as far as
the article goes. Not only do I feel that Cheryl did an amazing job
writing it, but both the pictures and layout were excellent. Plus,
having three of my strips shown front and center with my name and
site address below each of them, well that's the best damn bit of
free advertising for the site I've ever seen.
When
all is said and done though, what I enjoyed most about the article
wasn't the exposure it brought to the site, or the extra hits it
received because of it, or the personal thrill I felt looking at my
strips printed someplace they just aught not to be. No. The best
part about it was knowing how proud it made my mom to see that her
son had made it into the paper…and that he managed to do it in a
way that didn't involve taking out a bus full of nuns with an AK-47 or
having sex with a goat.
And
now a bit of thanks...
That's
it for now folks, but before I head off and get back to working on
the strip I’d like to say thanks to the following people:
Steve,
and Travis for pimpin' the site that day with me.
Gabrielle
for taking a break from her jog, and getting this ball rolling.
Cheryl
Binning for writing a damn fine article and helping me not look like
an ass in print.
Borris
Minkevich for taking the photos that made me look a lot less dorky
than I would've ever thought possible.
John
Sullivan for giving me permission to post the article.
And
finally, a big thank you goes out to everyone who read the article
and let me know that they got a kick out of it and / or my comic.
Alighty.
Y’all don’t come here to listen to me ramble on, so I best be
getting back to working on the strip.

/ JUN / 06 - 1522 CST : Sorry folks, it's been a bad day...
1228 CST : Strip update...
I'm
working away at the strip right now. I'm hoping to have it up
in a couple of hours or so. There is a chance that it'll be in
black and white at first, but colours should be following that a few
hours after that.
Also,
there was an article written about myself and webcomics in general
in the Winnipeg Free Press (one of the major local papers), and I'm
planning to give y'all a rundown about the article, and how it came
about. However my main priority right now is the comic, so if
I'm running short on time later, I'll have to do that write up
tomorrow.

/ JUN / 06 - 1743 CST : "Night Out - Pt. XII"
Hey
folks! I've got the strip up now.
Hope y'all enjoy it!
Before
I head off to bed to slip into a coma, I've got one more bit of info
to share with those of you who are from right here in
Winnipeg. My buddy Sean is pulling double duty tomorrow by
playing two gigs, with two bands. Now from what I understand
the venue is actually outside at someone's house, so I was kinda
leery about posting the info. However Sean wants as many
people to check out his bands as possible, so he told me to go ahead
and do it. So if you're up for some live music you should
check it out. Here's all the info you need:
BandPooloza BBQ and Pool Party
35 Acton Place
Saturday June 24, 2006
1:00 p.m. - 11:30 p.m.
One
more thing. It's an outdoor show, so if the weather is less
than wonderful I'm told it will be moved to an alternate date in
August. I'd give you the number to call for info, but I think
the one I was given was someone's personal phone number, and I don't
fancy throwing that out there to the world.
So
there you have it. I don't know who's house this is, but I'm
just hoping they have very understanding neighbors.
Okay,
I'm off to bed.
Later,
-Ed
1043 CST : Today in the GT universe...
Okay,
I've got quite a few things to mention, so I'll jump right into it.
Today's
eye-candy...
First
off, the strip will be up late this afternoon sometime. I was
debating if I should take a nap before I finish it up, but I think
I'll just push on forward instead. I'll let y'all know if
anything changes though.
The
merch is runnin' low...
I
was going through the GT-shirts today, and it seems the only sizes
that are left now are Large and X-Large. Oh and there
is one 2X-Large too, however I took the option to buy it off
the store page a while ago for some reason. Not sure why, but
I'll be putting it back up this weekend when I have a few minutes.
Once
these shirts are gone (or close to it), I'll be retiring the
design. However I will start working on another shirt design
or two soon. Most likely I'll be put up another poll to see
what you folks think about what I come up with (like I did the last
time), but in the end I may just go with what my gut tells me.
Also,
I've started looking into some other merch options. I'm trying
for something that is on the low end of the price range for you
folks who have been wanting to support the site, but are on kind of
a tight budget (much like myself).
Bra-Man
correction...
It
seems I was a bit mistaken about how often the crew at LICD
will be trying to come out with new issues. They're shooting
for one issue every three months, rather than once a month.
I'm guessing the reason for this is that they feel Lar should be
allowed some time in his life to sleep (slacker!).
Speaking
of Lar...
It
would seem Mr. Lar deSouza has
gone and gotten himself nominated for an Aurora
Award (Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Association) in
the category of Artistic Achievement. In my mind there
is no one more worthy of taking this puppy home, so he's definitely
getting my vote.
From
what I understand, if you happen to be attending this years Toronto
Trek con, you'll get to vote there. Otherwise you have to
go to the Aurora Award site, grab a ballot and mail it in by June
26th. The cost to vote for those not going to the con is $6
CAN (oh, and the voting is only open to Canadians). I
personally am giving up diet Dr. Pepper for a day to cover the cost
of my vote.
Now
I know it's last minute that I'm mentioning this (I just found out
yesterday as Lar was too humble to mention it to me himself), and
there isn't much time left to vote, and you may not want to part
with your coffee money for the day to cover the cost, but if you're
a fan of Lar's work please consider it. It'd be a nice
gesture, and a good way to show him your support.
Plus
if you don't, I think you'll get syphilis...yeah, I'm pretty sure
that's true.
My
e-mail, and it's constant state of being screwed...
For
a while yesterday, and continuing on into the wee hours of this
morning, my e-mail was down...again. So if you tried to
contact me and your e-mail got bounced, or if you were waiting for
an e-mail from me that never showed, I apologize. It seems to
be working now though so I guess all is right with the world once
more.
Looking
to tomorrow...
Saturday
may end up being a big day for the site. If this holds true
I'll be sure to pop back then and give y'all the low down. For
now though, I've got funny to do, so I best get to it.

it looks like I'll be able to get a full night's
day's sleep after all. Enjoy the strip
folks.
Later,
-Ed
1256 CST : Tweaking the time away...
Howdy
all.
Well
I had most of the strip done before I even got home from work today
so I thought it was only going to take me a couple hours.
However it would seem that when given a larger amount of time to do
the strip, instead of finishing it up early it is just in my nature
to spend a lot longer tweaking it than I normally do.
On
the plus side though it's allowed me more than enough time to
improve the look of the female character I included in today's
comic. Granted I'm still not totally satisfied (I'd rather she
looked a bit more cartoony), but I am closer than I've ever been to
"getting it right".
Anyway,
you'll see what I mean in a couple of hours when I post it.
For
now though, it's back to fussing over my near finished work.
Later,

19
/ JUN / 06 - 1807 CST : Five minutes from now I will be fast
asleep....
However,
before I go I wanted to let ya guys know that if you head over to Least
I Could Do you'll be treated to the first glimpse of Bra-Man
#1. This is Ryan and Lar's first foray into doing a monthly
printed comic, and they are currently taking preorders for it (I've
already bought my copy!).
Together
with colorist Marc Brunet, the LICD boys have decided to tell the
ongoing story of Bra-Man in a 24 page (ad free) full colour comic.
These comics, from what I understand, are all original stories which
take place within the LICD universe but don't have any direct impact
on the ongoing storylines of the webcomic itself.
Now
if you follow LICD at all you'll be well acquainted with Bra-Man
already, but if you aren't (and you have a wonderfully warped sense
of humor) I think you'll be in for a real treat here. So if
you have a sec, drop by Least
I Could Do and pre-order
yourself a copy!
Okay,
time to take the pimp hat off and get my ass to bed.
Later,

1515 CST : "Night Out - Pt. X"

other things to say, so I'll see ya then.

18
/ JUN / 06 - 1803 CST : Kinda flat, but colourful...
Okay,
I've posted the flat colours. There is a chance that this'll
be the last update for today. It's gonna depend on how awake I
feel in the next few hours. With any luck though the full
finished strip will be up before I head to bed.
Later,
-Ed
1652 CST : Inks are
now up for Pt. IX...
And
I'm currently working on the colours. I'll post again when
they're done.
Later,
-Ed
1319 CST : A long time coming...
Starting
this Monday Geek Tragedy will be updated on Mondays, Wednesdays, and
Fridays.
Now
let me explain why.
Almost
a year ago to the day I switched from doing one full page update, to
three smaller strip style updates per week. At the time, given
what my professional and personal live was like, I figured that the
best days for me to work on and post these smaller strips would be
Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday. And for the better part of the
last year this worked out quite well for me.
However,
in recent months some of you may have noticed that a lot of my
strips have been showing up a day late (especially
Thursday's). Granted I haven't actually missed one in quite a
while and I guess late is better then never, but I'd still rather
not have to announce delays ever damn week. And given the fact
that Thursdays and Sundays have become absolutely horrible for me as
far as finding any sort of free time to work on the site goes, I
can't see these delays stopping anytime in the near future.
So
there you have it. Until further notice Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday will
be the comic's new update schedule. Granted I'm pretty sure
this probably won't make too much a difference to most of you, but I
wanted to let y'all know about it just in case.
Well
that's all for now folks. I'll probably be back later on to
chat with you folks a bit more, but if not, then I'll see ya Monday.
Later,
-Ed

16
/ JUN / 06 - 1753 CST : "Night Out - Pt. IX"
Hey
folks.
Sorry
about the brief post I made earlier. I was really pressed for
time as I had to go into work (during the freakin' day no less!) for
some training, and I was cutting it pretty close to being
late. Getting taken off of nights for the end of this week has
really thrown my schedule off, but now that it's over I'm trying to
get back on track again.
I've
gone ahead and posted the comic in "The Strip" section
in pretty much the same state as you see it below.
Unfortunately I won't be able to touch it till later on tonight, but
I'm gonna do my best to have it totally finished up by tomorrow.
For
now though, I've gotta run again.
Till
tomorrow,
-Ed
1228 CST : I have to run, but...
Here
is a progress report:
For
once I'm rather please with how my pencils turned out. Sure,
there are a few things that I feel could be improved upon, but over
all I think I done good.
Oh,
and in case you're wondering why I don't add in backgrounds like
this very often (or pretty much ever)? It's because this sort
of thing takes me forever to do, and if I did it for
every strip I'd never get one up on time ever again. So until
I get a bit quicker at this drawing thing, I'll most likely be
sticking with the sparse backgrounds that you've all come to know
and tolerate.
Okay
guys, I'm off to finish the rest of the pencils and then ink 'em.
I'll drop by with another update when I have more to show, or when
I've completely run out of steam and need to head to bed.
Later,
-Ed
1214 CST : Work in progress...
Hi
folks.
Today's
strip involves me having to draw three things I really struggle
with:
Backgrounds,
background characters, and women.
As
well it'll be about twice the size of what the comic usually
is. Which means (you guessed it) it may not be up on
time. I will however be posting updates as often as I can
later on during the day, so keep a look out for those.
For
the time being though I'm gonna catch a bit of sleep, but I'll pop
back when I wake up and have something to show y'all.

Later,
-Ed
1014 CST : I should've learned the guitar instead...
Hey
folks.
I'm
about to catch some sleep, but I'll be sure to get the strip
finished up later on today. In the mean time you may want to check
out the "Of The Moment" box.
Everything
I've heard from Stephen Lynch
so far has
cracked me up. I mean granted there are quite a few
comedians out there who use songs in their routines, but I don't
think I've ever seen one with as much pure musical talent as
Lynch. So if you've got a sec, be sure to give him a click.
Alrighty,
time for some sleep.

/ JUN / 06 - 2331 CST : "Night Out - Pt. VII"
The
longer I have to think over a joke, the less funny it seems to
become. And in the case of today's
strip I had days to think about it. So by early this
afternoon I could no longer see any sort of humor within it
whatsoever, and so I began to really second guess myself.
Well
I still have no idea if it's funny or not, but seeing as how I've
pretty much run out of time, I guess there isn't much I can do about
it now.
Anyway,
that all for me. I'll see y'all either tomorrow, or on Tuesday
when I post the newest strip.
Later,
-Ed
1637 CST : Second thoughts...
Well
today's strip is about 2/3 done, but I'm beginning to rethink the
joke I went with.
I'm
going to take some time to mull it over, but for now here's a sneak
peek.
Okay
folks, I'll be back in a few hours.

there is actually one element I've still got to add to the strip, but

may want to check back later today to see what is currently missing
from it.
Well

I

The strip will be up
tomorrow morning. Sorry for the delay!
-Ed
2016 CST : The gauntlet has been thrown down...
Normally
at this point I'd be losing hope that the strip will be done before
I go to work. Or I'd be posting a black and white version of
the strip instead (which won't work for today's comic I'm afraid,
and when you see it you'll know why). However this time I am hell
bent on getting it done tonight!
Why
you may ask? Well let's just say that it has a lot to do with
this little message I received from my friend Christy...
"Yes
I do know what Thursday is. Thursday is the day that you post
the note that you won't be able to post the strip on Thursday.
Friday is the new Thursday Ed. Deal with it..."
Oh,
it's on now missy! IT - IS - ON!
Later,
-Ed
1449 CST : Sleep, it does a comic good...
I
went to sleep shortly after I got home from work today, so I wasn't
able to post or get to work on the strip till now. Given the
current time I expect it'll be up sometime this evening. Maybe
around 7pm or so.
Hopefully
y'all aren't too disappointed about having to wait so long to see
it, but if you are then allow me to show you something that should
melt even the coldest heart.
This
here be Captain Jack, the puppy pirate. And no, he's not mine
unfortunately. This little fella belongs to Vitamin-T of the
GT-forum (who from time to time is also referred to as
"Travis").
I
tells ya folks, it's pics like this that make me want to get a dog
soooo bad! Who knows though, maybe one day I'll have a little
Bojangles running around my place, but for now I'll just have to
settle for my one plant to keep me company.
Alrighty
peeps, I'm off to work my magic!

Hey
folks.
Sorry
I didn't get the colours done on yesterday's strip, but I was taking
advantage of the nice weather and doing a bunch of running around
today. Tomorrow's strip will up on schedule though, and if I
have time after that I'll get to the colours then.

/ JUN / 06 - 1821 CST : "Night Out - Pt. V"
Well
the strip is now up in it's black and white
form, and I should have the coloured version up sometime
tomorrow. I was kinda hoping to get it all done up today, but
I guess being the dreaded 06/06/06 we should all just be happy that
the world wasn't plunged into an eternal darkness to make ready for
the dark prince.
I
was actually thinking of breaking with the storyline for today and
doing a "here cometh the anti-christ" strip, but I didn't
really want to lose my momentum with "Night out".
Besides, if he does actually show up today I feel that it may be in
my best interests to not piss him off.
Alrighty,
I'm off to bed. If the world should end while I'm
sleeping...well then I should warn y'all that Thursday's strip may
be a bit late. I know, I know. I've always got one lame excuse
or another, don't I?

1253 CST : Sunday revisited...
Howdy
all.
Well
I'm getting a bit of a late start on today's strip, so I may end up
doing the black and white today / colour tomorrow thing, much like I
did with Sunday's strip.
However,
if I do go that route, I'll try to make the B&W version look
more like an actual B&W strip, and less like a colour strip that
just hasn't been finished yet. Keep in mind though, I'm not
exactly skilled in with working without colour, so I don't how well
I'll be able to manage that trick.
Okay
folks, I'll see ya later when I get the strip up.

/ JUN / 06 - 1541 CST : "Night Out - Pt. IV" (now in
colour!)
Hey
folks.
Just
wanted to let y'all know that the strip is now all
colourful and pretty like.
I'll
catch you guys tomorrow when I put up the next comic.

04
/ JUN / 06 - 2222 CST : Just in case...
I've
posted a black and white version of the strip
now. I still think I can get the colours done before I go
to work, but if I fall short of time I didn't want to leave you guys
with nothing new to look at.
I
don't know what it was about today, but I just couldn't get my head
in the right place to buckle down and make with the strip. Artistically
speaking it wasn't even that challenging, however nothing was really
flowing for me. Still, I got it done (well. mostly anyway).
If
the colours aren't up today, they will be by tomorrow.
Later
folks,

1750 CST : Strip update...
I'm
still pluggin' away at the strip here folks. It's just one of
those days where motivation is in short supply, and my mind keeps
wandering every time a shiny object enters my field of view.
Still I'm pushing through it, and given the progress I've made so
far, I'm confident that it'll be done before I have to head to work
tonight.
I'll
keep you posted as things progress though.

0511 CST : Strip ETA...
Hey all.
Just
wanted to let you guys know that today's strip will be up sometime
this evening. Right now I'm shooting for around 6pm, but if
it's looking like it'll be any later than that I'll be sure to let
ya know.
Till
then,

01
/ JUN / 06 - 1736 CST : "Night Out - Pt. III"
I
actually posted the strip a few hours ago,
but then got caught up with something and never had chance to tell
y'all about it till this very moment.
Now
today's comic won't bring an end to the current storyline, but it
will bring an end to ass based humor for a while I think.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy putting a spotlight on my character's
asses from time to time, but I think you've all seen enough now and
any more than two ass strips in a row would be a bit much.
Maybe one day in the future I'll play around with their asses again,
however I assure you the ass play has now run it's course.
Well
I think I've done a sufficient enough job of making my mother burst
with pride when it comes to what her son likes to do with this free
time, so I'm heading to bed. I'll be sure to check in with
y'all before Sunday's strip, but till then, take care folks!

1013 CST : While you're waiting...
Hey
folks. The strip will be up later today, but in the mean time
you may want to check out the "of the moment" box.
Be
warned though, this is the internet trailer, so it may not be safe
for work. At least not if you're listening to it without
headphones.
