May Vacation
Finally have a bit of news that's worth mentioning. I'll be heading down to Pasadena; visiting BotCon and some friends from May 26th to June 1st. That means I won't be updating Accursed Dragon! for the last week of May. Instead, Laptop & Ferret will update in its place.
The same thing will happen in July when I fly down to San Diego Comic-Con and probably another week in August. More info on that when it happens.
Accursed Dragon! news:
http://www.accurseddragon.com/
A new story with new characters. Scarrow is the ranger people are comparing to a ninja, which is fine! His role in the comic might not go far beyond this particular adventure, however. You folks who REALLY enjoy the comics may want to start saving up $12-$14 now, because I sent the files away and a book will potentially become available by the end of summer. Should be ready for purchase in person at Comic-Con (with me there to sign/draw in it) July. Has some bonus content included, but time didn't allow me to make as much as I'd like. More info when it becomes available...
Funny Farm news:
http://funnyfarmcomics.com/
Major villain Pete has been introduced and the Prequel story of Gulius' introduction is proceeding well. Once that tale is told, I'll begin a new story to take the place on Friday updates.
Readership is understandably down since FF originally ended. Less than half the viewers. I'm not making a 4th book because of this. Maybe next year, once I gather up more potential buyers.
In the meantime I've started rescanning the old strips again and maybe, just maybe, I'll have enough to print a mega sized collection. That really depends on how substantial the readership is at the time, though. :\

A whole lot of me being lazy
Accursed Dragon! news:

Crap. I forgot to do the site updates, including starting the bio page.
Funny Farm news:

Crap! I forgot to fix up this site too, including starting the bio page!
Resident Evil 5 and Mad World are out this week, so if I don't start them now, don't expect the updates until summer. ;(

Funny Farm Five....days a week
Just a brief note here.
Did you know that Funny Farm originally operated under a 5-days-a-week schedule? That's the way it will continue now until the Sunday strips start.
Fridays are going to be a special prequel story that, once completed, will be moved to the beginning of the archives. FYI!

In case you haven't noticed, I can be VERY hermit-like.
Long time no post.
This here LJ is supposed to be updating when ever there's something newsworthy. I guess I just didn't feel there was anything going on that fit that description. :\
I could post stuff that's going on in my life, but I'm just not that kind of guy. I like to hide in my secluded cabin, nestled deep in the woods and clean things out of my wiry beard while grumbling how I hate the outside world...
Accursed Dragon! news:
http://www.accurseddragon.com/
We're still in the introductory phase of the comic, if you can believe that. What's left to be introduced? You shall soon see!
I have planned out some vacations this year and I'm giving y'all advanced warning that AD! will not update during these particular times:
1) Last week of May, as I'll be off to Pasadena.
2) The 2nd last week of July, since I'll be in San Diego for Comic-Con
3) A week in January 2010, when I'm hopefully going to be on a cruise.
I'm toying with the idea of taking July and August completely off. School's out, readership is down and I could use the time to build up a backlog of comics (and enjoy the time to recharge cartooning batteries). WE SHALL SEE!!
Funny Farm news:
http://funnyfarmcomics.com/
I haven't made any official announcements yet, but Funny Farm has re-begun!
There's over 3,000 strips drawn, or so I'm told. If that was too intimidating before, or you just want to re-read the material, now's the time.
(Psst! I'll be creating new strips every Friday)
I'll make more of a big deal about this next week when I have enough comics uploaded and I fix the bugs on the site.
Maybe alter the color scheme a bit, since people don't like purple. :p

My last entry for the year!
I wasn't in the mood for writing a lot this month, but while I was away at home for Christmas I and felt the urge to update this, all internet goes kablooie! Of course! :p
I'm at home again and now's a good time as any for typerings.
I got some good loot....and some very practical items. So practical I'm stifling a yawn now just thinking of them. No games (if you don't count the translated copy of Mother 3 that got put on my laptop), which is kinda' alright. My Xbox 360 red ringed on me...so Microsoft gets the belated present of a broken console to repair this January.
Guess I'll be busy with Brawl and Left 4 Dead during that time. Y'know, I should be posting my identification stuff on the site so that more people can join me online. I should be doing a lot of updating on the site, in fact.
That'll be my resolution for the New Year!
now for news:
Accursed Dragon! news:
http://www.accurseddragon.com/d/20081229.html
I took the week off, but it starts up again today! The story may seem to be dragging on, but I'm trying to squeeze in as much characterization and background plot as I can. Things will start picking up relatively soon.
I was thinking about next summer and how I intend to take another break from the comic for a month (or two). I might make up an art contest to help use as update material. The prize being stuff I pick up from Comic-Con. We shall see once spring hits!
If you feel like getting a head start on this, go right ahead! ;D
Banished! news:
http://banishedonline.com/
Still in limbo at the moment. I don't enjoy experiencing artist woes anymore and it's too big of a project for me to handle alone. I may try giving it a proper ending soon and worrying about continuing the series another day. You'll know when I do...
Laptop and Ferret news:
http://laptopandferret.keenspot.com/
Last week is was 5 days of this strip. It'll continue on Fridays until Accursed Dragon! goes on another break.
More news later!

Schedules Christmas Vacation
I'm still indifferent to Das Bot and Banished!, but I'll mull over their futures as Accursed Dragon! and Laptop & Ferret continue their updates.
No time to worry about them now, however. Too much Christmas stuff to organize. Tonight's the work Christmas party, then I go to my home town and then I work nights the following week and then more parties....
And so on!
Laptop and Ferret news:
http://laptopandferret.keenspot.com/
More Friday updates, although the comic will update on the 22nd through to 26th this month.
If you ever saw a wet ferret, you'd appreciate the horror.
Accursed Dragon! news:
http://www.accurseddragon.com/
The real adventure is about to start!
I'll be taking a week off from the strip for the holidays. 22nd to 25th, to be exact. In the meantime I hope to have some filler artwork. Maybe..... :\

Laptop and Ferret update
Seems like I'm making a habit of updating this comic once a month. ;D
http://laptopandferret.keenspot.com/
Friday is supposed to be when I'm updating Das Bot....buuu-uuuut...I've hit a snag.
Seems I'm not having fun making those comics. It's like work and I'm certainly not making comics because I love work. :p
This is why I haven't fully announced Das Bot, or completed the web site, because I'm just not ready to show this work to strangers on the internets.
Maybe it's the format I'm making the strips in, or the characters, or whatever. I'd hate to abandon the series, because I do have some fun story ideas. I'll experiment and see.
In the meantime, L&P updates for Fridays.
Don't worry about this affecting AD!.
I'm having fun with it that series at least. ;)
