Big Down, Little Ups

So, I finally got around to checking out the paperwork for Comicon International San Diego yesterday. Yeah. Not good. After some mental number crunching and a lot of soul searching, I have come to a rather disappointing conclusion: I can't afford to go to Comicon this year. Now, I'm not giving up on the biggest show in the American comics scene, I'm just putting it off a year. If I start saving now, and I start making preparations around October or November of this year, I'll be able to rock it hard style in 2007.

But all is not a bummer here in TORCLand. I'm already signed up for SPACE, and I'm gonna mail my application for Wizard World Chicago '06 today. In addition, I can now afford to go to one other decent show this year. I'm not sure where or when yet, I've got do some surfing to check out my options. I'm kinda leaning towards Wizard World: Texas for two reasons, 1) It's in November, traditionally a very boring time for me, and 2) I have an inexplicable desire to see Texas. I may end up going somewhere else though...

As promised, I'm clean shaven. My Ma thinks I look like a convict. Personally, I think I look like a clean shaven derelict.

My Bristol Board (finally!) came in. Now the only thing that's preventing me from completing the comic is my own laziness, not lack of supplies.

I've got a stack of stuff for the website that I'm mailing to my webmaster today. Included in the package are two new webcomics. That puts me around 7 to 8 weeks ahead. Woo-Hoo! Everyboday dance!

Can't believe I forgot Steve Dillon on my fight scene list. I did mention his frequent collaborator Garth Ennis though...
