Welcome to JAWC v2.5 : I'm Late for mah Update... Woo... lotta good stuff going on... first things first... Next week is a filler comic to celebrate 100 comics!... so yay me! Don't worry though, there's an actual page 100 that will be promptly displayed that following sunday night for monday... so you'll be able to enjoy the actual 100th, alongside the early celebratory comic... and I like it... so huzzah... and a huge shoutout to Amber for pushing me to draw the comic when I felt like lazing about doing nothing at all... Moving on to item two on the good stuffs... I've started to draw more of the comic... I'm working in the backgrounds, making sure the characters still look the same... after all it's been 3 and a half months since I last drew them... yeah, I'm a slacker extraordinaire... but you love me for it... go on, admit the love... yeah, there it is ... ^^ Third item... I've completely lost my sanity and am now strong and mighty like The Tick... in reality though, I'm working on several projects that will enable me to make enough cash to go to AnthroCon next year, and afford an artist table from Dick Blick... I'll most likely purchase it in November after Thanksgiving... just to make sure I have enough cash to cover it and be secure that if I lose my job I can afford rent for an extra month... but I'll know more once I figure out my finances come November... And now since all the good news is extinguished... I can report the sad news... sad? .. I mean bad?... well, it's really good news, but it's really depressing... at least for me... I mean after all, any and all hope is out the window, laying on the ground soaking in it's own blood and entrails... I mean, geez, look at it.. hope all over the place, just festering with.. and the smell .. gawd!!... the hole in my life, doesn't seem to have a chance to fill up with anything, it's like a bottomless pit of despair... I mean, the hole wasn't as deep when hope was sitting in the center holding onto threads for support... but the threads have snapped, and well like I said, hope is gone and it ain't coming back... all that's left is the sickening feeling of regret and despair... and I'm not sure how I should go about fixing things... I'm sure it's not going to fix itself overnight, I mean, geez... it's been phrased nicely... "because its one of the other final major changes in your life that will fully shift your way of living out of the comfortable and familiar into the unknown of possible utter doom?" And I know that it was phrased to sound less horrible than it is... but yeah.. that's exactly right... I'm now completely out of my comfort zone... I have nothing of my old life, just my brother and sister... and quite frankly, it's not like they're highlights of a brilliant sky... far from it... I suppose it's time I stopped being the person I used to be and find out who I really am once the things I took comfort in are gone... Fuck. - Tiki Man
