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.
I like all the little things they add to make the drinks special at Seattle’s Best. Aren’t they owned by Starbucks? Why doesn’t Starbucks do this?
I’m on a roll right now making new stuff for my shops. I wish I had managed to have this momentum before the Christmas shipping deadlines had passed, but what can you do? I like this little guy- he’s sort of a sequel to the other paper owl design I did, only more complicated. I think he’s cute.
I’ve been working so hard at Doing Stuff and Being Interesting lately that I haven’t been getting much sleep. I made a lasagna last night (which I’m looking forward to eating for the next three or four days), and I’ve been adding a lot of stuff to my cafepress shop, but I totally skipped over Monday’s comic and I don’t feel like making up for it. Also I’m falling behind with Holidailies. Whatevs, man. I’m not going to spend all 30 days of Holidailies writing about how I have nothing to write for Holidailies.
Boss is on vacation at the TV Farm this week, which does two things: I have more of a chance to get away with slackitude, and I have more stuff to do that I have to fit in around my slackitude. Which balances the whole thing out, after all.
I will draw tonight. I will draw tonight. I will draw tonight. And I will probably not sleep enough tonight, either.
