I'm still having a few problems with levels and coloring. Luke, if you're reading this--or if anyone else knows anything--I can always use photoshop tips.

Another Hilarious Animation by Sybil

The Decline in Quality Continues

Animated!

Sybil made this little animation of one of my panels. Cute, huh?

Erich and I went to the Mediterranean Market on the "outskirts" of town, where they have really good tea, honey, canned dolmas, and weird candy. We went there a lot last summer after we got (illegally) fired, but it'd been a while since we'd been there.

The News Report

Here's the local news story on minicomics, and I'm there somewhere in the background. They lingered over my comic for a little bit, probably because it's in color!

I think my drawings are particularly terrible tonight, but hey--there's a whole year of this, so deal with it. Please.

Man, nothing ever happens on Sundays. Except that Sybil got out of bed before two in the afternoon, which is some kind of record event!

She Had Looked It Up on Wikipedia Already

I drew this on a piece of brownish paper, then just played with the contrast rather than coloring it in. I think it came out okay. I wish I hadn't started so late tonight, though, because I have to sacrifice a lot of detail when I start late.

Also, I Ate a Bunch of Tangerines

...which it turns out are their own thing, an orange-like fruit from Tangiers. All this time, I thought they were some sort of manmade hybrid.

And Yet I Never Meant to Get One

I'm slowly learning that I cannot be relied upon to follow through with a story from one day to the next, so remind me next time I do it that unless I already have the page drawn, I shouldn't make any promises. Or even insinuate that I might do something.

Anyway, this is a true story, even the nudity.

If I can pull it off tomorrow, it should be a pretty good "episode".

This is not the experiment I was alluding to in the comments earlier today. The comic that's missing will be made up for later--rest assured that at the end of the year, there will be 365 pages of comics.

Hilariously enough, while I was coloring this, it got dark out, and now I don't have time to go for another walk.

I'll try again tomorrow, and report back about what happened.
