Last night, I finished up the latest issue of "Grizzly and Bear Patrol." I had tried to upload the issue to the journal, but the system kept locking up after getting a few pages in, so I had to give up ( Read more... )

I've been working on this issue for several months at this point. I was looking forward to taking a week off to finish this, but the looming government shutdown put the plans to take off on hold. So I've been doing a page a night or so until I got it done ( Read more... )

After a LOT of work, I finally got this issue done. It's not that I dreaded working on it, but my day job has been very overwhelming of late. I was lucky to draw or ink or color a single page a night. I'm very pleased how this issue turned out though. Notes about the issue are on the last page. I hope you all enjoy it.

This issue was a long-time coming. My last Bear Patrol issue was back in June 2021. I did take a break to do the Halloween "Grisly" comic, but I was eager to get back to the characters I love to create. There were a lot of setbacks in trying to get this issue done, including abandoning the previous story and several already penciled pages to ( Read more... )

I finally got this issue finished. With my new position at work, my brain has been too frazzled at night to work on this, but I finally got my groove on and finished it last night. I was going to upload this last night, only to have a severe thunderstorm roll through and knock out my internet for the last 18 or so hours. With my internet ( Read more... )

I was originally working on a different story, but could not get the story to come together, at least not to a point I was satisfied. Eventually, I put it aside and this story came much easier. I think given all the stresses of life of late, I thought this story might be more fun for everyone.

Behind the cut below is Issue 30 of "Grizzly and The ( Read more... )

This one was a long time coming, though I seem to say that every time. My work life during the quarantine has actually grown much busier and my downtime seems to be geared more toward relaxation and decompression. I read somewhere that stress actually stifles creativity, so that's probably a big reason why getting this issue finished took so long ( Read more... )

Holidays, work, work travel, epidemic -- so many things have gotten in the way of my working on this issue. Only when the quarantine happened did I find that I had a wonderful respite from the dreadful news of the world in finishing this issue. I've been wanting to do more origin stories. After 10 years and 27 prior issues, I figured it was time ( Read more... )

I've spent a large chunk of my staycation this week working on this issue. With work, work travel, and Mom's passing this summer, I haven't had a lot of time to work on this. So it's been actually pretty nice having a week where I had nothing to do but sleeping in, working on the comic, and putting together my Halloween costume ( Read more... )

It has taken a LOT longer to get this issue done than I would have liked. It has been since August since the last issue was posted. With holidays, work, and work travel, and other things, the process seemed to drag and get repeatedly interrupted. Eventually, things calmed down enough for me to get this issue completed. Despite a rocky creative ( Read more... )
