About Club Comicana—I do have two strips in the works. One, I did very rough pencils on a couple of panels (about two weeks ago), and last night I did 75% of the pencils & some of the lettering for another one. So I’ll get those into a finished state at some point. Hopefully quite soon.

I have a lot on my mind and I just haven’t felt in this particular zone much. Regrettably. It isn’t a question of a strip physically being a lot of work, nor is it about getting everything technically just right (I’m sure most people would notice that my stuff’s not always an exercise in precision). But even in small bursts, it does take total concentration while you’re working on it. Now, with these new strips I’m doing them on A4 and I’m quite intentionally not using a ruler or ‘working stuff out’ to any great degree. I like the energy and looseness of it. But it still has to scan well and hold together, and this aspect is quite demanding. I’m disappointed, really, after five strips, to have dropped the ball… but, a lot of stuff is weighing down on me and I have to work within that limitation. Anyhow, I haven’t STOPPED—there’s more to come.
