think tanking

Yes. The Summer Hiatus is upon us and I have been hiatusing the shit out of it, as you can tell, since I haven’t even posted a comment about it for a week after it started, and actually, I guess it kind of started a couple weeks before it should have what with all the late comics. Apparently eight or so really long Nobody Scores! installments in a row can really take it out of a cartoon maker. It’s no thing, I wanted to get through all the scripts I had in the can, but at the end of that shit, my head was beginning to work like this, with brief moments of relief where my head went something a little like this.

But, now, I’ve got my mind right. Hey. Don’t look at me like that. And I’m about to serve up some good ol’ miscellaneous content this week while I cook some new scripts for the new version of Nobody Scores! And possibly a bit of a site redesign (I am basically happy with it, it doesn’t need to look super-gradiently-dropshadowy “perfessional,” but I want the upcoming content to fit).

The July break will last basically all of July. That is because, though I had not particularly planned it, that which I have most feared shall come to pass: I will be going to the San Diego Comic Con. Hold me. As is so far par for the course in these types of events, I won’t be having a booth. Technically, I am going there in support of my brother, whose short film will be showing at the convention. So if you are reading this, and you are going, that is the part of the convention where I will be. As I consult the material, I’m not exactly sure there’s a booth. But, I will be carrying around prints of a few of my ha ha best selling posters, which I’ll sell to you for something below list price, or possibly even barter for shit, and failing that, I’ll have nice shiny Nobody Scores! business cards if you’d like to collect something just entirely pointless. People actually make business cards of their comics, it floors me. I mean, I have a business card for my illustration work, but that’s different. If somebody remembers your comic, they’ll find you. The business card is not a useful mnemonic device for a cartoon! So I don’t actually have the card designed yet, I want it to be pointful somehow, see exhibit a, but the only thing in that vein I can think of is detachable razor blades, which’ll be highly useful for getting my monkey ass sued. So, peanut gallery? You’re a buncha nuts, think of something! Protect your cartoonist’s mind. It is fragile and prone to relapses.

The practical upshot of that long-ass paragraph for 99.8% of you is that the next scheduled-type update will be on Tuesday, July 29th. Given where many of you have come from, you can think of this hiatus as “the average time it takes for Dresden Codak to update.” OH NO HE DINT ima get my ass kicked cry for me peoples
