Blank It

I know, I wasted an opportunity to rhyme “2009″ with “fine” in the post subject. Get over it.

We have made it to a new year, and what does that mean? More comics. Lem and I have worked out the plot for the next six months (six months???), and we’re ready to keep moving forward with this crazy illustrated adventure.

Want to hear some interesting behind the scenes stuff? While Lem was on his honeymoon in September, I decided to try and freak him out by emailing a crazy rambling paragraph describing this bug that is going to crash into the shovel beam. Well, we’ve finally reached the end of that insane paragraph. And it turned out pretty great. It makes me think that I should try to freak out Lem more often. Maybe if I put spiders in his hair.

Anywho, happy 2009 to you, whatever it means to you. Stick with us and continue to spread the word. We’re happy to have you along for the ride.

Thanks all of you for your birthday well wishes. They trickled in from all over the internet, it helped me through the day. Between turning 30 and becoming a dad, I wonder if childish shams like being a cartoonist are worth pursuing. The answer, of course, is an unequivocal yes. I laughed a number of times just drawing the latest strip, I couldn’t fathom abandoning this medium for the world. Here’s to hoping our updates don’t get rocky when the Little Lembina comes into the world. Aric and I are trying to sandbag against that inevitability, but… we’re so lazy!

I put off making any sort of post because I didn’t want to bump the wallpaper I did off the blog, but Aric was swift enough to move it into the blah blah section. So if you didn’t grab it, you still can. I’m working on another wallpaper, but it weirded out Aric enough I might redesign it before I release it. I’m not out to traumatize my cohort. Not intentionally.
