OK- So Monday’s strip is MIA. As some people would say I have now reached professional stature since I am late and obviously don’t care about my readership.
Actually, I am very sorry but for the past few days I have been on the road and while that isn’t an excuse it works for me. I was in Orlando for the Sunshine MINIs “Mickey & MINI” event which was great. check out the pictures on my Flickr. Sue, Cecil, Penfold & I had a great time and are back into planning to attend other events. Unfortunately, Late nights on the road, or hanging out with friends then back to work early, doesn’t really help with getting a strip out in a timely manner.
Also I have been working on my personal narrative which really brings this adventure to an end (at least as far as the Lilly Endowment is concerned). I could have just written something up, it is only two pages, but since I have been doing a comic, I knew I had to write it up a certain way. With that in mind I am forewarning you that for the next few weeks you’ll be reading my narrative, kind of a “Cliff’s Notes” version of what I did on my summer vacation. This of course builds my buffer so it is my own fault if I get behind again.
I just finished penciling 7 strips and besides my hand being sore now I just need to ink them. I’ll get the first one inked for publication tomorrow and work from there.
Thank you all again for your patience and for taking the time to read this, we aren’t ending it here, I still haven’t gone up against the cyclops, landed on the island of poppies, or anything else that a real odyssey should have.
