Argh, two days into Holidailies and I’m already lagging. My connection to the internet was bad yesterday. I’ll have to post a make-up soon. Anyway, this kid (I’m guessing he was 3 or 4 years old) just stared and stared at me, and I think his mother was embarrassed because he kept walking in front of me to get a better look. I thought it was adorable.
Hello, Holidailies crowd! I’m back for another year (technically my fifth, although as I say in the comic, I haven’t finished yet.) This year would be the year to make it through, though. I’m older, wiser, and blogging a lot more often. I’ve taken on a number of Big Projects this year, and gotten more work done on my own than I ever have before.
I’ve been out of my usual routine for the last couple of weeks, so I haven’t been posting, but now that most of the Holiday Madness at work has been put to bed, and all the traveling is done for me and mine (Brad and I went down to LA for Thanksgiving), I should be able to hunker down and get to work. At the very least I’ll be doing one-panel daily comics like this one through the end of the run.
The little owl in the comic is sort of the embodiment of my work-ethic. He first started appearing in my comics earlier this year, and co-starred with me in the 24-hour comic I did back in July. He appears from time to time to help me break up what would otherwise be giant walls of text in my comics.
I started drawing myself with the pudge I’ve put on in the last couple of years, but I noticed that I’m drawing the owl a little fatter than he was over the summer, too. We need to lose some weight. Christmas time is a great time to get working on that. Not.
Sorry, Ma. Still in a bad mood. Actually, it’s a whole new bad mood.
It must be the beginning of Fourth Quarter- the weather has turned cold and everybody and their grand-pappy wants a new commercial RIGHT NOW OMG in time for the Christmas rush. I’m busy, and cold, and grumpy. Happens every year.
It’s nothing serious- just the usual quarter-life menu of Things to Worry About: money, and the general what-am-I-doing-with-my-life anxiety that I’m starting to suspect never goes away.
The irony of the whole thing is that I produce video for broadcast all day long in my dayjob, but I have always, always had problems with stupid things like programming a VCR, and I can’t, for the life of me, figure out how to use Windows Movie Maker (What do you mean, you can’t add tracks!?)
I have an old student copy of premiere, but you can’t really capture from a webcam (which, apparently drops frames as a matter of course, and Premiere doesn’t like that). I got the the point where I started digging around in Brad’s old video stuff, and he has this funny little Hi-8 with Svideo, only my Svideo jack is output only! Argh!
…And that’s why there was no comic yesterday!
