Well, I lost track of the time and find myself at the end of my first story arch...without a cliffhanger. Oops. Oh well, no biggie. I do have more stories with
Susie up my sleeve, but I fear that people may be getting sick of seeing her. I still think she's funny, though, but I was going to put some buffer comics between the last few strips and the ones that went up this week. I ran out of time to get them done, unfortunately, so you'll just have to endure the next 3 strips about her.
Then comes another guest strip week!
This was actually one of the first pages that I wrote for Susie, because I thought someone else calling her in a threatening way was funny. Role reversal, I believe it's called. I have some funny stuff planned for her character, but it may take some time to build into. I have to work on the next story arch first, so there'll be some good padding between the next few times you see her. Everything I've been doing here has been introducing characters and concepts that will come into play later on. Hopefully you'll all enjoy them as much as I do.
Exile 3 is still in the works. Scott and I are waiting on a page from Carl (which he tells me is illustrated, and just needs coloring), and then Scott will work on his page, and I can spit my second one out and we can get this thing started. I also worked on another
MySpace Comment War for Joe Dunn, which I plan to post on his MySpace comments (duh). Here's the strip:
I think it's funny. I already have one planned out for Tom, and I'll probably work on that this weekend. I just hope I don't alienate these guys before I finally get to meet them in person at Wizard World Chicago this year (my first Wizard World con). The con is August 9-12, but Scott and I are only attending on that Saturday. We'll be in town all weekend, though, for anyone in the area that might be interested in going out drinking with us - possibly rubbing elbows with some famous comic artists and writers.
In other news, I've decided that Battlestar Galactica (the new series) has to be some of the best writing on television right now. Many of their plot points are conveniently tied up in a nice neat package, but we'll overlook that for the stellar cliffhangers. I just finished season 2 on DVD last night, and I can't wait for season 3 to get released. What an addictive show. My folks are borrowing season 1 from me right now, and they're hooked too. Eventually, I'll have to introduce Laura to this show, so she can share in my addiction.
Well, that's about it from my camp this week. I hope everyone had a great 4th, and be sure to check out
@$$hole next Friday for some more new content.
