#1009 – Space-Time Rememberance Relay…
Okay folks… I’m not going to sit here and tell you that I’m back on the saddle again and ready to crank out strips three times a week again. The truth of the matter is that this one strip took me a LONG time tonight to get up on the site. Drawing, inking and writing it was easy enough but as it turns out, it took me quite a while to remember all the short hand tricks I used to be able to do to crank these strips out every week.
I forgot how much time it actually took.
But the real truth is that this is very much like getting back into the gym after a very lengthy time off. I have to gradually build up to preparing mentally and physically for what it takes to create these strips each night. Those of us that create strips and other online content know what I am talking about. So, instead of making a bunch of promises, I am simply going to see what happens.
This storyline hasn’t even begun, really, so I absolutely want to finish it for sure. In any case, if you’re wondering, the little aliens in today’s strip actually play a pretty vital role to this Hiatus story arc I started at the very beginning of the year.
So… enjoy! There’s a new Capes & Babes strip this glorious morning to fill your web browsers and RSS feeds!
I just love their Shakespeare collars.
I am just glad to hear that everything is okay 🙂
Good to hear everything is going well. Can’t wait to see where you take this one.
So how _does_ a cartoonist work out? Bench pressing boxes of No.2 pencils?
Good to have you back!
I’m just glad to see you’re back at making comics.
Don’t want to lose you know! 😀
Call it “spring training” or “training camp” and take time to get yourself into a groove, not even the greatest artists can go that long without having to ease back into a routine.
And I am glad that it was a new job that caused the delay, it’s the best reason for a delay IMHO as it means you can still eat, pay a mortgage, have lights on in your home 😉
Welcome back, I thought forgetting shortcuts was the domain of us older guys… I feel MUCH better now.
Hi, Chris.
Is all OK? Your loyal fans are getting concerned.
