Cue hail of rotten vegetables

Sorry guys, i’m just kinda out of gas this weekend, plus once i got the script finished the comic was longer than i thought it would be so there’s no way i can get it finished this week unfortunately. On the plus side, the extra time will be good for the finished product, so look for something a bit longer next week (walls of text almost guaranteed).

Looks like it’s That Time of Year, when it won’t stop goddamn raining and the temperature soars and the day job starts to wear and the gears are stripped and the energy levels plummet to zero. Therefore i’ll be taking my Summer Vacation soon (i did the same thing last year, don’t worry), so things will be kind of quiet around here in August.

So… apologies for the huge tub of Nothing that i’ve delivered this week, but there’s a new comic under production and you’ll have it soon enough. As for me, i need some caffeine or something. Maybe a good slap in the face (form two lines over there, no brass knuckles please).

Ugh,

Bored all day

Comic, walls of text, opinions, etc.

July 12th: This Apartment Earth

The good news: the comic is finished early for once. The bad news: it ain’t funny.

So: hooray, and sorry.

Apocalyptically yours,

And the comic is here, and the walls of text will return, believe you me. My brain is on sabbatical this week, working on some quite intensive text for an upcoming comic, so the mental skeleton crew i was left with decided to do a bit of a silent tale about…well, nothing really.  But hey, at least it’s finished early for once. Anyway, i could find reasons to lengthily apologize for every comic i do so maybe i’ll just shut up now.

OH

With regard to last week’s discussion of criticism (in the comments section), if you have an hour or so here’s a good interview with a learned professor which touches on a few points that are very relevant indeed with regard to why any artist should keep critics close at hand. Avoiding Groupthink is the goal when you’re talking about online forums/comments/discussions/msn chats with your libertarian chainsaw militia pals, but the whole subject of self-justification in general is hugely important and I totally recommend the book on the subject by said professor.  A huge piece of the mental puzzle. If yer got a website and yer not welcoming the critics then yer Doing It Wrong.

Speaking of mental, it’s mentally late, so goodnight!

Yeah,
