Blank It - A webcomic from Lem Pew and Aric McKeown

Recovery Time

August 19th, 2012

I know our update schedule is spotty, and you guys have been sticking with us. I had some minor surgery this weekend (all is good), but it means I spent most of the last few days asleep or doped on Vicodin. So this comic is still in process, and I’ll have it up when my head is a little less fuzzy and happy.

Know what I mean, not what I say.

So the website says “Updated Mondays”. But I’m having trouble getting the comic up on Mondays, particularly when summer weekends are so busy. But I don’t want to change that to “Updated Tuesdays”, because it doesn’t solve the problem that I run late. You’d just get the comic on Wednesday. You follow? So, the site says Monday, but you can probably expect comics Tuesdays. Unless I get it done by Monday. Point is, Monday is the target, and I may likely over-shoot it.

I had a wedding and a birthday today, so my inks are only just now getting done. I would expect the comic tomorrow. G’nite!

My Little Helper

The comic will be a day late, but at least I got a parenting story out of it.

Last night while I was busy doing non-comic things, and my digital tablet and photoshop sat unused, my 3-year-old daughter decided to snuggle in, put the tablet on her lap, and proceed to color all of Blank It purple. It would have been adorable (well, it was), except I have a shortcut key on my tablet for ‘Save’. So she undid an hour or so of work with her little project.

I didn’t get mad at her, I praised her for artwork, but I didn’t have enough time to set things right, because my little one has to be to the doctor this morning, and I wasn’t going to do another 4-hour-sleep night like last week.

Maybe this sounds like an excuse, but I’m actually just proud that my kid figured out the tablet on her own. There’s a chance yet that she’ll follow in her dad’s digitally artistic footsteps.
