Happy New Year, right?

That's what they say.

Yesterday evening, sometime just past 4:30 p.m. CaST, I finally finished Alabaster: The Good, the Bad, and the Bird. I typed the last page, and I emailed it away to my editor at Dark Horse. On November 12, 2013, well over a year ago, I was told a second miniseries had been approved (Grimmer Tales, aka ( Read more... )

Congratulations on finishing the comic ext_1285666 January 1 2015, 18:06:17 UTC
I have always enjoyed your graphic stories, both word and deed, and I hope, if the mood strikes you and the offer is worth it, you will do more comics. This year you accomplished much and were struck with a few awards for your hard work. Stay out of the sun. Enjoy your time, to the best of your ability. And thank you.

Thank you, but that would be a curse. There are things I do well; comics are not one of them. We must, finally, accept our limitations.

Glad to hear you finished, and good on you for pushing through. Seems like this has been one great big purge, and is some kind of relief for you in all sorts of ways.

Now, time for some The True Lebowski.

Happy happy, joy joy... (when I get bombarded with holiday 'cheer', I get Ren & Stimpy stuck in my head).

Let this moment stand as hope.

After starting the New Year with a horrendous day at work, this sounds like the best way to continue 2015. Cheers.

I was wondering the same thing ext_2741996 January 2 2015, 20:57:58 UTC
"I had run across the phrase 'the wide, carnivorous sky' somewhere on the Internet"

Hmm. I knew this didn't sound right. Now WE know. But why do people do that? It's pretty unnecessary.

Quotes are used as titles all the time --hell, MOST of Bradbury, just off the top of my head. But the attribution has to be spelled out somewhere (like Bradbury himself does in "There Will Come Soft Rains"), unless it's Shakespeare or something equally ubiquitous.
