All right! We made it to 25 comics with only a few hiccups. I’m operating with no buffer right now, which I mean to change- life got in the way and the comic had to take a backseat to things like my sisters wedding, a cold, the election, and a bedroom remodel. But y’know, I’m encouraged to learn that even some highly respected pros operate without a buffer, and as this is more of an experiment than a stab at so-called professional cartoondom, I don’t feel too bad.

So what have we learned here? I considered dropping color because I’d be able to focus on linework and get the comics out faster, but I’ve gotten a lot of unsolicited feedback about how people are enjoying my color. So it stays. I have a pretty steady supply of visits to the site, and as such I feel obligated to meet even a self-imposed deadline. That’s great news. I’m feeling pretty free about the format and subject matter right now, and I kind of want to wander away from my five main characters for a while and explore the world I’m building. I’m still not sure how best to do that, so expect some discontinuity in the next couple of weeks.
