I have been in a few discussions of late about B/W comics and are they dead? It has been an interesting conversation, especially since I have been fighting with all sorts of directions on where I need to take things.

Small setback on book 8- the scans were all bad, cause my scanner went on the fritz, during scanning. So I’ve ordered a new scanner, which ended up giving me two days off. So what do I do on my time off? Well I gardened tonight which was quite nice, even got my lights up. […]
