Still 13 pages left to go.
That's half an issue.
The essence of education.
Discipline.
Brotherhood.
Embarrassment.
All of it slowly goes toward the end. 19 pages left.
So, the last issue is under way ...
Yes. It centers around urine. Poop jokes are passe. Urine is 'in' these days.
Just 22 pages left out of 255 or so.
The past two weeks had me learning how to be a home electrician as I rebuild part of my house. In between parts of the project I have taken time to compile all my book's art in ready-to-print file format. It's set to be printed as a 330 page "digest size" book.
Everything's getting done. A little more than a week and I should be back on inking.
Only 25 pages to left to ink. This week I will have to put aside comic book work as I remodel part of my house and learn how to string electricity. Yowza.
Don't cry. I'll be finishing the final pages between now and July. "Urinator" was always one of my favorite issues. I'm looking forward to completing it quickly.
Work skipped a beat, but it's going. 28 pages left to ink.
Closer.
This issue is going along quite swiftly.
Just 34 pages left to ink.
Like last year, my missing time was fruitful for other art ...
Between Books is a fiction literature store in Claymont, Delaware. I used to visit weekly in the mid-80's to buy comics. Now it is a nice sized store which offers just about everything dealing with fiction literature or culture.
For a 30 year anniversary publication, Greg Schauer (owner) asked me to do a small comic for him. It was fun to do something new. I've also been fiddling around with stray, fun art ideas to keep me active with penciling...
Just stuff done for my own fun, and for others to enjoy.
However, I'm back on this comic full time now. 3 more pages are a small skip from being done. It's great to be finishing up the last stretch of this behemoth.
It's been a while ...
No, I didn't quit. I've just been inking while doing a few other projects in comics, illustration, and screenwriting. During December I wrote a movie screenplay for the comic book as an exercise in screen writing. It's more intense than the comic in the way it portrays school.
There are still 37 pages left to ink--1 1/2 issues. I'm just doing the inking now, and I hope to have the 255 pages finished by July.
We'll see what comes. All other pages for the book are finished and ready to format for printing. Print date is uncertain: I still want to do the 35 page comic, funny animal animation pilot, Laptop & Mouse to publish in the same book. There is also another very important book in my life which I wrote but needs illustrations, and I have to finish that soon as well.
Shuffling along ...
Exciting.
Finally less than 60 pages left.
Sixty pages left ...
Seems like forever since I started this trip. All the covers, back covers, inside covers and other pages are done aside from the cover of the bound edition. Though the comic inking has taken a back seat to other things in my life, it's slowly getting done.
