Two days late, but in color. My apologies. After the Stumptown Comics Fest madness over the weekend, I got a bit behind. Had a wonderful time with Little Dee creator Chris Baldwin, as always. It’s good to spend the time with an equally sick mind.

My apologies for the delay — but hey, it’s still Wednesday! So that’s something.

Production notes?

Sure. It’s 12:30am on the North American West Coast and I am a little bleary. But I am happy that I put up a new page in a timely manner. Time for (yawn) beer. I mean sleep. Maybe I’ll have the beer for breakfast.

Update: How tired am I? I just uploaded yesterday’s In Contempt strip. It’s corrected now. G’night.

At long last, another update. In color, too! Wahoo!

This also marks the end of this scene. A new one starts next Wednesday. See ya then.

I’ll be making more changes to the site over the next couple months. I just updated the Wordpress software to the latest version and will be choosing a Comicpress theme, soon. So the appearance will change, perhaps subtlely, perhaps drastically. It all depends on my whim. Bwa ha ha ha. Ha.

Yep, another black and white page. But I like how strong the lines are in the last panel, so I can live with it. And given the action portrayed, the stark B&W seems appropriate. But it will see color by the time this story gets printed, so no fear.

I will be in Texas the rest of the week attending a funeral for my father-in-law. He was a good man, though I have never met him, sad to say. I have heard good things about him. Wish my wife the best.

There might be a delay in next week’s post, due to the trip this week. But it won’t be too late. Stay tuned. Hopefully most of y’all are down with RSS.

I really wish this page was in color. As it is I felt it necessary to at least add color to text elements so they stood out and were legible.

The print version of this page will be awesome, I promise.

A little late today and in black and white, but it’s up. So, whew. And yay.

I swear that the color version will be so much niftier. Next Wednesday’s update will be in color, as will this page. I will start going back and adding color to pages that have been neglected by post haste (ha, a pun!) Then I’ll let y’all know when they are added.

Oh, and, hey – happy new year!

So you may be thinking, “Wasn’t this update supposed to appear on the 9th like the previous cartoon said it would?”

Technically, that is true, because you can read a calendar and do math. But for apparently challenged people like myself, who had intended all along to post a new page on Wednesday per the usual schedule, such skills are beyond my ken.

A-doy.

Yes, it’s black and white. I am still trying to figure out Gimp, the freeware clone of Photoshop. It’s a pretty good program, but I need to get it to work with my Wacom pen.

Seriously, I apologize for not posting new material for the last two months. It wasn’t intended. Life just got in the way. So my plan for the next month is to take a break from political cartoons so I can catch up on this story. Please stay with me. I love doing this series, and I hope it makes people laugh.

Yep. Another late post. I missed last week because I was sick. This week my wife is sick. So I am working on my cartoons when I get a spare moment – a rare phenomenon lately.

Anyway, sorry for making you wait. And double sorry to post a black and white page.

Next week, full color, on time, promise.
