Even though I've been on vacation for the past 2 weeks (seriously, read my blog for details and pictures), @$$hole has been updating on time.  Another new page will go up on Friday, almost completing this story arch about the little girl from the Ring. 

I have a few one-shots planned, and then another story arch that will end this round (or season, if you're a TV kind of person) before a short break for me, and some new awesome guest strips for you - the reader...because I love you...but not in a creepy way.  As planned, I'm going for 20+ straight comics on a regular basis before I have another round of guest strips.  I think I'll be able to meet that goal.

Also, I was talking with my friend Olivia who attends the Savanna College of Art and Design.  She's coming back from school for the summer in July, and is interested in working on the 15-25 pages of the Temple prequel:  The Legend of Abraham.  We're going to make it a little more stylized than the previous story, and it will be more like a children's story (so less gore and violence).  If we enjoy working with each other, we might work on some additional projects down the road (I have stories up the wazoo).  I'm looking forward to it.

Now, here are the pages that I haven't pimped yet:


If you recall from the previous page, Seven Days after I received the phone call from the little girl from the Ring, I turned my TV around so she couldn't come out and kill me.  Point for Trevor!  Seven days later, it appears that she's still stuck behind the TV (because I haven't watched television in over 4 years, just DVDs and TV shows on DVD).  Obviously, this has a bit of an impact on the girl, as this has never happened to her before...it forces her to be a little introspective, and reflect on her life and her deeds.


Apparently, she's able to free herself somehow while I'm on the computer (probably watching a TV show on DVD, but more than likely working on this comic).  Her dress is all glowy, because I thought it would look cooler than making her look like she has bad reception.  This effect won't stay forever, though, as she's lost much of her power being stuck behind the TV for half a month.  I really like the coloring on this page, and it was an experiment for some ideas I have down the road for the Temple sequel:  Holy War. 

In any case, that catches you all up to speed on the pages that I didn't talk about while I was on vacation (but that came out on time...that's important).  Be sure to check out my website this Friday for the new page, and feel free to leave me comments on my MySpace and on the Exile Forums.
