Well… The whole book’s not completely done, but all the cartoons in it are drawn. Most of them are colored and placed. Hopefully, today’s the day when I start trying to upload the book to the printer/publisher whatever you call ’em these days. There’s only four comics and a handful of spot illustrations that I haven’t posted here on the site. I guess those’ll be exclusive to the book, and Patreon supporters.
Comic
Right. So we’re back to the in-fill cartoons and the book’s nearly done, art-wise. The last few comics are written, so unless some of you guys write in and tell me something that’s better than what’s already on paper, I’m racing for the finish line for the Stanky Creek book.
Whew!
You guys are very patient.
Thanks for letting me have time to go play with my cartoonist pals.
I thought you might like to return to the current storyline for a minute. Here we are, back again in color and seeing what’s going on,
Dr. Shafer was instrumental in getting built what is now Memphis’ best skatepark. It’s an outdoor affair with really good design and very slick concrete bowls. And a 16′ tall skateable steel sculpture. He and his kids should have been in the strip before, but here they are now. Dr. Shafer works at St Jude, where all the best people work.
Fourteen of the In-Fill cartoons so far.
I’d love to say that I’ll pick up the pace, but starting tomorrow, there are more and more cartoonists coming into town for the 70th Annual Reubens Awards Weekend. I’m the only NCS member here in town, so there’s lots of moving boxes and goody-bag stuffing, and long days filled with, let’s be honest here, CARTOONISTS. Ah, they’re a fine buncha Reubens, they are. I’m excited… but I don’t know if the publishing schedule will hold up. How about a couple of updates that are photos of cartoonists?
I can’t tell you how much I hope you guys don’t mind the break in the action with these black and white cartoons. I’ve been wondering where to find the time to do all the fill-in cartoons for the Stanky Creek Book, and it’s a GIANT relief to see them finally hitting the drawing board.
The Book is coming.
