I have a tendancy to bite off more than I can chew...

Seeing as how I've not actually managed to consistently produce 2 strips a week yet, I'm officially going back to a Monday morning schedule. This should let me plan things a little better, rather than constantly scrambling to finish a second weekly strip I know isn't gonna be ready in time.

I can't believe I once thought I could do 3 and hold down a full time job :P

I'd rather use the extra time to work on some of the projects which I've been putting off, such as T-shirts and more organized site mechanics. This thing doesn't exactly update with the push of a button right now...

The other thing is this will let me relax a bit more and put in the background details I really want to. I'd rather have a great weekly comic than a pretty good twice-weekly.

Oh, and when I'm not working on other assorted crap, I will be working on extra comics, to be posted when they materialize.

Some of these may also be guest comics. I owe some people such things...

So it looks like most of you like the idea of the sketch sticker, but a couple of you are worried it'll eat into precious comic producing time.

On that note let me just say, trying to work on the strip while at my day job is near to impossible. Too many distractions and too much chance of art being damaged. However, a small sketch doesn't take that much time, and if something happens to one or two I'll not be quite as shattered. More can be made.

So in other words, I can do these at work and not lose any time whatsoever on the comic.

So I'm still thinking it over...

Alright, so it's the middle of the month and I've still not been able to do the donation gift for March. Basicly I've been waiting for sample stickers in the mail so I can decide whether or not this will work.

So instead of trying to rush this through this month, I'll be doing a wallpaper featuring the Panda for those who wish to donate. It's more appropriate given the month anyway. It should be availible this week.

Now, on the sticker project, I need to know which way to do this.

I can print up stickers featuring one or more characters, perhaps in a set of 2-3 different sitckers, which I'll be doing for San Diego either way.

OR the other idea I had is to print up something like this and draw you an original Sharpie sketch in the middle. Anyone who donated more than 5 bucks would get one of these. The only reason I'd put that miniumum on it is because of the cost of the sticker and postage.

I'm kinda torn, because although I really want to be able to do the sketch thing, I'm afraid no one's going to be interested in them.

In any case, let me know what you think .

Yeah, it's late. I know, the first panel took forever. And there's still a few stupid problems I have with it.

But since it's about to be rebuilt, I've got an excuse to remodel the parts that annoy me :)

Next strip won't be up by Monday, but possibly Tuesday. It's mostly closeups, so I won't die putting it together...
