So it's been a year since the comic was inked. I wanted to attach a comic of another idea done from a script I wrote for an animated pilot...
This idea will just be 34 pages long, and I'm currently finishing the penciled pages. It's a funny-animal idea about house pets and their relationships between each other and the woman that owns them and/or houses them.
Laptop is doughboy in body and soul; a cat obsessed with his owner's entire being, especially her body. Mouse is an escaped pet mouse trying to start a revolt to overthrow the woman that purchased him--the woman that wants to get him back in his cage.
Pretty straight forward. It'll be done by November, I hope ...
What's taking so long? Writing. See the post below for the animation production textbook I released through Amazon and other booksellers in April. Since then I have published 4 books you can find for sale on major bookseller sites...
Two are non-fictions, two are novels. One novel is historical action-adventure, the other is humorous romance. By this time next year I should have 9 books published, all written, illustrated, and formated by me. Another 3 novels are coming before spring 2011, after this comic compilation publishes...
My current plans are to get out all my books from outlines and scripts I have written and from ideas I have accumulated for years. Then I have a clean slate on which to return completely to comics for a long, dedicated stretch. There are 10 more Lost Boys issues I have outlined and ready to be drawn.

This is another panel collage from the comic. It's about 1/10th of all the panels in the whole comic. It'll be used in part, in gray, as the inside cover.
This is the last panel of the 10 issue, 255+ page, comic I inked. It is also the end of all the interior artwork originally planned.
Now I have to draw and color the cover for the book...
One page left to ink.
Then a cover to pencil and color.
