Well, I’m sitting here, watching Scott Pilgrim and thinking about the last year. Not too many comics, I know, but life has been crazy. It’s been a crazy and eventful year. Got a promotion. Got a new girlfriend. Lost my dad. Dozens upon dozens of crazy events, stress filled days and periodic illness. It’s been one of the saddest years I’ve ever had, yet I don’t think I’ve ever been happier.

I want to thank everyone who reads this stupid little comic. The fact that you stuck around this long with a terrible update schedule really means a lot to me. I’ve used the last few weeks to get ahead and build a buffer. I’ve tweaked how I do the comic so you get the best out of me and yet I don’t have to stay up all hours of the night trying to ink and letter a new page. One of the biggest problems I’ve always had was lettering. It usually gets to be about 3am and I have no idea what the page should say. I mean, my script notebook has layouts and a vague statement like “ZOMG! big reveal here. Fight scene too I guess,” which means I have no actual dialogue. And it sucks. But I have the entire issue written and lettered before I start inking now, so, like, it’ll actually be coherent and make sense.

And, to finish this particular post off, check out what my girlfriend made me for Christmas: A crocheted The Cow!
