Wow, two less-than-punctual comics in a row. But it IS still Tuesday so I’m not late yet. I’ve been doing an annoying amount of driving – weddings, campus visits, celebrations of deaths and resurrections of religious messianic figures – and it’s starting to make it difficult to get comics drawn and uploaded. But it looks like I should be fairly sedentary for the foreseeable future, which means regular, reliable updates for you. Whom I love.
This is officially my first less-then-punctual comic. I guess I’m not really late, since it’s still Friday, but until now I’ve always managed to have my strips finished and uploaded by Thursday to autopost when the clock strikes twelve.
I guess I’ve finally hit that point as a cartoonist where I’ve run through my backlog of material and am actually now generating content as I go along, instead of drawing on a bank of ideas and sketches sitting in my notebook. This particular comic was sketched out yesterday over lunch at Teller’s, penciled at various locations, and inked at Blue Fugue. That has nothing to do with it being less-than-punctual.
