Arrrrrr Matey~!

I know, I know, another pin-up.... I fully intended to do a regular comic for today, but when I realized that today is International Talk Like A Pirate Day, I just couldn't resist a little celebration ^_^;;;; Arrr maties, beware, Ho-chan be after yer booty! ^_-

Boxes...

As usual when I post here, it's to mention that something has delayed the comic yet again and I do apologize for it! There won't be a comic on Sunday, but I will have one up for Tuesday. At the end of the year I will be moving back to California, and right now I am swept up in all the work it takes for a large scale move. In this case I have been helping every weekend to pack up an entire house, paint the rooms, and stage everything so it will hopefully sell fast. We are about to have new carpet put in. Boxes everywhere, and more boxes to pack. This is a lot of work @_@ In the meantime, all I can offer is a rough drawing of Takeshi. Remember him? ^_^

Convention Fun

I am having a pretty good time at AnimeFEST so far. I have been attending a lot of industry and guest panels. Today I also attended the webcomics panel (just as a random audience member, not a panelist), which was very interesting. Heh, the stories the other webcomic creators tell make me feel all pathetic and lame XD They talked about all this reader mail (hate mail and good mail), weird story or plot requests from fans, readers who were fired or got in trouble for reading their comics, selling their comics or other merchandising, their discussions and relations with other webcomic artists, etc. I was just sitting there thinking.... wow... I suck XD I get virtually no reader mail (like 1 every 9 months? usually from the same person) no one (as far as I know) has gotten in trouble for reading OO, I don't really know any other webcomic artists except for my friend Juri who has recently started her comic (and I will be pimping it here soon XD), OO has a store, but sales are rare (I haven't received a penny from the store in over 2 years ^_^;). Heh, the panelists made it seem like doing a webcomic was a wild and wacky thing XD At least my art seems to be doing okay in the art show. I should have at least one thing make it to live auction, which is always my favorite part :D

I should have a new comic up Tuesday (depending on how late I get home from AnimeFEST on monday) so please tolerate the catboys here for a few more days ^_^
