It's a conundrum for sure.
Sorry, if I update a little late right now.
I'm still updating by hand and I'm trying to rake in as much
overtime
at the retail job as I can before it dries up.
Wanna help out? Just forward this to your friends and/or
visit my sponsors.
More people reading this means more people trying to
advertise here.
And it also makes me feel like I'm at least making an
attempt at making
the most of my education and
i'm not still paying a lot of money for nothing.
For the record, I know better. I was pretty bitter for a while.
I started out making flyers for a nightclub/home improvement company.
Isn't that a hell of a combination? I think so.
Anyway one day my boss
(who was on his second vacation of the year)
made
the offhand comment that if I didn't like my job
I could find another one. And so I did. A job I loved.
Too bad they laid me off two months later...
But that's neither here nor there.
I sound (to myself, anyway) like I am only doing this for the money.
That's pretty far off base. Right now, a job at McDonald's would
generate more income.
And I'm fine with that.
If the page breaks even by the end of the year, I'll be happy.
What this is really about, and I intend to put it on as
a manifest in the near future, is me trying to retain and
build my skills as an artist.
I've loved comics for years and this is a natural outlet for it.
The jokes, yeah some are pretty bad, but hopefully
with any luck they are improving.
And if I keep at it, they'll improve.
Hopefully you'll be there with me.
If not, kudos.
You probably have better things to do than read my strip and
I
commend you for it.
Anyway, kind of a long post this week.
I would like to go into more detail as to things I hope to
be branching into in the next few weeks, but like I said,
you have better things to do. Maybe next time.
For the record, sometimes I love drawing Denise and
sometimes I don't.
I think it comes through that panel 2 is
one of my favorites...
ADDENDUM: Respect the WW2 Vets out there. It's Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.
