Ok good news and bad news - and indifferent news.

First of all, (i gues sindifferent enws) this strip was sposed to go up last week during the downtime - but it didnt happen - which leads to the bad news. Expect more downtime. At the moment I still have to spend the same amount of time on my comission work as i normally do to buy food, but i have to spend an equal amount of time on this colouring gig. I woudl ease off ont he comissions but like i said, the colouring job doesnt start paying until about 3 months time and i cant afford to ease off for 3 months.

On top of that we're currently preparing to sell our house plus i'm stepping up my dutiues in co-running teh Comic Box. So its going to be a mad couple of months. Unfortunately the strip is going to suffer for it.

Which leads to my bad - I've long been thinking that i want to rework the We've Got Issues strip and do that as a regular thing and maybe wrap up YO. Its a shame since its just starting to pick up again but i'd really like to spend some time on something that i can actually see in print or somethign one day.

BUT i dont want to leave YO altogether. Thatd be weird. So i was thinking - i might rejig it a bit - do actual comics of Year One - you know, akin to the 6 page or so Franklin stories or what not. That way i could stilkl be doing them but i would be able to explore almost a new medium with it PLUS (and more importantly) im not stuck on worrying about deadlines and daily updates.

So basically im thinking of wrapping up the strip (im almost at 500, gotta keep going at least till i pass that mark - i have a cool idea for #500 too!) and perhaps relaunching the strip as either one page strips or a comic book (online) with 67 page stories to them or so. Think NEW Year One. That kind of stuff.

Id still have a presence comic strip wise -i have a lot of ideas id like to do with the Weve Got Issues concept - but at the moment that seems to be where my brain is heading. PLUS i have been working on a comic book about my own superkids(solely mine this time) and i think ive got the story hammerred out pretty well - time allwoing, i think itd make a great comic.

Anyway thats the good and bad news. None of this will be happenning for a while though - the strip will be very sporadic for the next few weeks and AGAIN, if ANYONE wants any comission work done im actually auctioning off some custom covers on ebay for cheap so now would be a good time! (i need another 4 for the month..)

Anyway...
