I have a LOT of obsolete stuff in my house, in the storage shed, in my studio… I’m a LITTLE concerned that I might be one of the things that’s obsolete. Obviously, my knees are out of date, anyhow.
Me? I’d be fine with their skatepark. I don’t do aerial stuff. I’m pretty comfy down in the bowl, scooting around, keeping my head down…
I honestly didn’t expect this storyline to spiral out the way it has. Back at Charlotte HeroesCon, I was talking with Ronnie Filyaw about where it might go, and at first thought I might try to wrap it up in a week. Maybe two.
As with anything I start to put any thought into, I added new bits, and changed the pace, and foreshadowed new bits and totally forgot about the next storyline I thought I’d be well into by now.
Back then, I didn’t know there was going to be a skatepark in the basement.
I was just messin’ with Lowell.
…
Gosh, I love doing this strip.
Poor Bob. He’s not likely to be able to make the new skatepark work to his advantage. On the other hand, I don’t think a concussion would be that evident in his behavior.
I have the next few weeks plotted out in my head. You guys aren’t going to keep speculating on upcoming events and coming up with entertaining stuff that makes me want to change the course of the story are you?
Boom. There you go. Bet ya didn’t see that coming.
I’m guessing, because I’m writing this four days in advance. Some of you may have guessed ‘skatepark’.
Others may have guessed stuff I wish I had thought of, in which case… Next time, I need you to submit your ideas written in script form two weeks prior to the date the comic is intended to run. I can’t read minds, people.
Well, push has finally come to shove. Anyone ready to finally figure out what’s in the basement?
Let’s hear all your best speculation.
I warn you, though. I’ve already drawn the next couple of strips, and I’m not changing them, even if you have really, really funny ideas. The plot’s in place already.
I guess what I’m saying is, I’m really happy if you want to guess. Very gratified if you will, to be sure.
But try not to come up with something better than what’s already on paper, willya?
Wooo! Some of you may have noticed my relative silence in the comments lately… the last couple of weeks or so.
There has been a lot going on, but the upshot is that I’ve been out of town for a while.
All of last week’s cartoons were prepared well in advance, for a change. I colored and uploaded them on my laptop while in St Louis, not having had time to complete them before I left on vacation. Then I was more or less out of touch completely for a week solid. Sunday was a 12 hour drive to finally get back home. I realized Saturday, in Dodge City, that I’d better get started on this comic, or it wouldn’t post on time at all.
So today’s cartoon was done in the computer from a scanned-in pencil layout.
I think I still prefer my ol’ brushes.
I’ll post some photos and stuff of the Ocoee trip I made a couple of weeks ago and of the Rocky Mountain trip I just finished. But I suppose I should finish posting the photos from Charlotte HeroesCon first.
It’s been a busy month.
