Hope you’re having a great holiday! Mine was pretty busy, but it is winding down now. Back to work on the comic I go.

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

The end of Thanksgiving means the beginning of Christmas season and for me, that means I have to start crafting. See, I make a little money on the side making and selling plushies. So I’ve been pouring a  lot of my energy into that lately.

For the time being, the update status of the comic is going to be erratic. Whenever I find the time to finish a page, I will post it. Hopefully after the holidays, I’ll be able to stick to more of a schedule.

My recommendation is to subscribe to email notification of updates over there on the right. You can also visit my craft blog to see what I’m up to. Hugs and kisses!

I got a lot done! But… not on the comic.

We took a drive out to Pittsburg where I visited Ikea for the first time… OMG. Ikea. Worth the three hour drive. I wanted to go back again today. Alas, today was spent putting together our new bookcase.

So, the comic is not yet done. You know how it gets as the holidays get closer. Your schedule starts to get fuller and fuller. So this revelation about Fiona’s father is going to need to hold you over a bit longer.

In the meanwhile, why not contribute to the Wiki?

..and I hate giving excuses. I certainly hope your Halloween was better than mine. It was spent kneeling in front of the toilet.

The next comic is about 50% finished, but I have to stop and get my queasy self into bed so I can actually make it into work in the morning. I’d like to have it posted later in the day Monday, but with my having to drive my butt all the way out to my parent’s part of the state to vote on Tuesday morning, I’m not sure how likely that is going to be.

So all I can ask you to do is hold tight. A lot is going to be revealed in the next post, and I thank you for your continuing patience as I battle various throwy-uppy diseases and the rest of my real life issues.

P.S. Go vote, American readers.

Sorry.

Still recovering from last weekend and the cold that came with it.

My elbow hurts, my neck hurts, and I am crazy tired. But it’s done. The Monkey on Yolanda Beck. It’ll be a few days before I can post it anywhere, but I’m pretty proud of my accomplishment. 24 pages in about 18 hours. Whoo me.

Night. Er, morning.

It’s going to be about a monkey.

But I have to get back to drawing! In the meanwhile, check out the event blog whenever stuff actually gets posted there!

Here we see the fundamental difference between what Germaine and Hattigan are teaching Fiona. One wants her to put them on her head, the other wants her to actually read them. Official “No” Prize to the first one who can figure out what the cover of that green book says.

And I’m sure you Google Monkeys can also figure out what Edgar is reading.

My gal pal Susan clued me in on an event being held up at the local comic book shop on October 18. A 24 Hour Comic challenge. One comic. 24 pages in 24 hours. Everything has to be done in 24 hours. Story, art, inks.

Naturally, I have to do it. I must. It’s just entirely too awesome to pass up.

What the heck am I going to do? No clue. Sort of the point, though. I’m just going to show up at Carol and John’s with my pencils, pens, paper, and a few books for inspiration. My buddy Ken, Susan’s hubby, is doing it to, along with a few other local artists.

I’m not certain what all the rules are, so I don’t know what I’ll be showing you of what I’ve done. But I will be keeping a journal of my progress throughout the 24 hours so you can all know what it was like.

Aw, shoot, this means I better get the next two weeks of art done fast!!

We all need a little cheering up on Mondays. So here it is: the new comic page. Worth the wait of nearly three years, I hope.

Here we see the training continue. Fiona learns how to knit as well as how to shoot an arrow. Both very valuable skills, if you ask me.

The wallpapers are back, as you can see from the navbar up there, as well as the gallery that is just a bit barren at the moment. All you’ll find there is the guest comic.

I’ve also created a Wiki! I invite everyone to visit and add to its content. Character histories, plots, monsters, everything you need to know about the GBD Universe will be kept there.

The comment section was being a bit paranoid, hopefully I can fix it without getting too much spam. Fingers crossed.

Also, do you think we need a forum? Hm. I’ll see what other wordpress goodies I can come up with for you kids.

Thanks again!
