So, remember that review Ryan wrote last week? Apparently it’s up for an award, but you have to go vote for it at HubPages. You just gotta do it. For us, for webcomics in general… right now we’re losing to an article about pubic hair. I wish I were joking. Go vote, and pass along the word!
I’m back from my whole getting hitched and honeymooning thing, which was a total blast. I do so recommend it to the masses. I tried to stay off the internet, but my betrothed gifted me with a new iPhone 3G before the trip, so I couldn’t help but sip from the digital stream a few times here and there.
I don’t have to go back to work for what seems like forever, so I should take some of that time to get ahead on comics again. I lost my lead due to my vacation, but it was a nice luxury to have. Plus, I can lord it over all of you that it’s done, you just can’t see it, nah hah, nyah hah hah.
I’ve said it once before, but I’m gonna repeat it. I think Wrath of Marcie by The Go! Team is like, the unofficial Blank It themesong. It always seems to capture my mood when I’m drawing this stuff.
One more week until Fallcon. Crunkin’ A.
I’ve made inklings, and I’ve made threats. Well, maybe not, but I’ve brought it up on more than one occasion. Blank It is at the MCBA’s Fallcon this weekend. Here’s the details, just in case you wanna come by.

It gets brought up from time to time, but both Aric and I have been doing webcomics for quite awhile. In fact, both I and the internet have forgotten more about my past projects than where I stand as an artist today. This may sound like I’m complaining, but it’s actually kinda neat. I have both the experience and the long term friendships with fans and fellow creators to have learned many lessons and hone the trade, but still experience the exhilarating rush and proverbial puppy love of a new pet project. Yet, if we’re still doing this comic years from now, there’s a chance it could indeed become our opus. And I’m okay with that, too. I’ve learned to enjoy the ride, and enjoy it I do.
The self-proclaimed Webcomic Rat Pack, those fab four of digital stripping-of-comics, have started a new online community at Webcomics.com. Aric and I have already busted open their screen door and started tracking mud in on the floor. Aric is mostly lurking and will for a long time, where as I’m gabbing away until my attention deficit gets the better of me. Either way, it’s great to see another hub for our fine hobby-slash-vocation take root. Blank It will probably continue to satellite this project, since I’d rather hang out at discussion forums like this than the myriad of devour-then-flee comic list websites.
That and it’s fun to talk. Well, until the drama begins. Then I’ll disown the place. What.
