I want to apologize for the long, agonizingly long time without a new update. I know you were waiting in breathless anticipation, and I know several of you died of asphyxiation. I apologize.

Anyway, life continues apace. We painted our living room this 3-day weekend and put up curtains. I await word from several possible interesting freelance opportunities, while nothing solid has materialized as of yet. I've got a very big, very busy trade show to attend in a couple of weeks, which is always chaotic fun.

Things with the comic are also proceeding, although it feels like it's at a snail's pace. I just want to have all 4 issues in the can, but that feels like it's a long way off. In fact, it is a long way off. I really hope we can all pull this off.

Soon, hopefully, I'll be able to give you all a special sneak peek at the cover art that will kick everyone's ass.
