Good: got three BRAND NEW "With Friends Like These..." strips scanned in (after finishing two of them this weekend). It seems that when I slow down on the art cards, I produce comics again, and vice-versa. This is good to know. This is not interfering with my filling the pending commissions, it just means my brain is in a slightly different ( Read more... )

I have, at long last, and after coming up with way, way too many excuses not to cope, gone back and entered all the missing songs from the middle part of 2007 in my online songbook. This included "Pumpkin Patch," "Another Mad Science Love Song," and "Ghosts of the Sea." I now feel less bad about neglecting my songbook. (Of course, it doesn't ( Read more... )

My default email (which is also the address all LJ comments are sent to) is currently down hard, and there's no real ETA for it coming back. So please, if you really need me right now, explore other means of contact. Also, if you've emailed my normal account in the past twenty-four hours, assume I haven't seen it.

All right, so after ages and ages of not having a camera of my own (and hence periodically borrowing the cameras of others), I'm finally going to obtain a digital camera. This is My One Extravagance for the season, although it can be argued that it's also sort of a business need -- people may start hurting me if I don't provide pictures of the ( Read more... )

First, the strip:

With Friends Like These... #71: Scanner Trouble.

Second, the footnotes:

While my scanner was broken, I found it borderline impossible to motivate myself to ink. Here is the chronicle of that dilemma.

1. Sick even unto death. Not 'cancel Thanksgiving' sick, but 'drink lots of herbal tea' -- yes, I am DRINKING HERBAL TEA, clearly I must be dying -- and 'sloth around Kate and GP's place in my pajamas' and 'wish for death' levels of sick ( Read more... )

I've started doing the maintenance on my online songbook, which has been allowed to get a little dustier than I necessarily approve of. (In my defense, I've been busier than I can properly express in words.) So far, I've entered all songs from January 2008, and edited all songs beginning with the letter 'A' to make sure that they're, well, ( Read more... )

So the scanner? Yeah, the scanner is now officially dead. Those of you who have been wondering whether I abandoned my comic strip (all six of you): it's the scanner. The scanner has been getting harder and harder to make nice with over the past few months, and it just offered a resounding 'fuck you, dino-girl' before keeling over completely ( Read more... )

1. Chris took one for the team in a big, big way last night, when I made him watch all of Flu Bird Horror, which was, I swear, written by pulling plot twists out of a big hat. Actually, that would explain a lot of what goes on in Science-Fiction Channel original movies ( Read more... )

So my scanner has, for the last week or so, been totally refusing to have anything to do with me. This has understandably prevented me from scanning anything. Which has been sort of a problem, given that I've been doing the New York trip strips, as well as my usual random slices of life, which has left me with a backlog of six finished strips.
