Today I published the last three pages - total of 39 - of my most recent story, Back to the Army Again. I might get one more one-pager in next weekend before I have to spend a few weeks in Europe for work, and then I’ll start on another long one, which will be one of two more long ones that will go into the final book once it’s finished in 2027-8 or so. There are a couple of short ones that I’ll throw in there, and of course there will be the interminable process of laying it all out for publication. Overall it’ll be about 250 pages, though in retrospect the layout for these is not that efficient and I could have made it a lot shorter with some thought. It’s a lot easier, given my limited time, to just write these as “one panel page” and “two panel page” (saved as templates on my computer) and not worry about laying each one out like I’m Bill Waterson or something, but it does lead to inefficient use of space where I’m spending half a page showing one part of a conversation, where it could just as easily be two heads on a little panel. My next work is going to be done, as an experiment, in traditional media, which means that I’m going to have to thumbnail it out anyway instead of just having a general vision in my head and going to town in the knowledge that I can just CTRL+Z it if it sucks.

Four more pages to go on this. When I started, I thought it would be complete by the end of 2024, so March 2025 isn't bad.

Merry Christmas! For my family, Christmas has to come later because my wife has to work at the hospital, so I spent the day repairing the mailbox that was destroyed - shattered, really - by the plow overnight, and doing this comic. Which isn't very Christmasy, but it's not like this is organized enough for me to plan these things ahead.

Yeah, foreshadowing. I'm not exactly M. Night Shyamalan here.
