Two quick points:

Point a: I did a brain dump / cleanout of my bookmarks for comic production and stuck everything in the new “tools for drawing” tools for comics page you see over there to the right left. Take a gander if you’re interested. I’ll probably add to it regularly because even right now I know there’s stuff I forgot to put on there.

Point b: Comic art quality’s about to take a drop again. Remember back in March when I’d just finished the Longest Night of the Summer strips and I announced an art shift because it was just taking too damn long to make each strip? Well, I’m at that point again — I need to build the buffer back up, and not just with IoI comics. So in order to produce comics slightly faster we’re going to take a planned quality hit.

Someday when I’m rich and famous I’ll go back and redraw them to look nicer. Don’t hold your breath until that occurs.

Thanks to Jzimbert for pointing out I don’t know my right from my left after midnight

The Webcomic Hurricane Relief Telethon

Posted on September 23, 2005 by kirabug

The Webcomic Hurricane Relief Telethon Book is now available. If you’d like to be one of the lucky people to own the first book containing a printed Get Outta My Head comic, here’s your chance. I’m told it’s on page 42 :)

Poetry and life and stuff

My favorite poem of the day is An Attempt at Unrhymed Verse, by Wendy Cope.

The line about the gherkin is quite nice.

I’ve been training at work, and my throat is very sore from talking so much. One more day of training to go, but not until Friday.

I’m way behind in about six things, but I’m actually ahead on the comic buffer — Saturday and Tuesday are uploaded (GOMH and IOI respectively) and I’m working on the following Saturday (more IOI, but it’s a god one, and it’ll give me time to plan GOMH) so that should be stable at least for the next week. Wow. Stable. That’s kind of nice.
