Sheesh, I gotta come here more often! I know nobody actually reads this anyway.  So I'm sort of just writing to myself. Okay, so, today I sent out a couple of emails to some folks, and we'll see what happens with all that. I have had to rename my flagship title, not once, but TWICE because someone else had the titles too! I truly loathe that. So, I am not going to rename my title until I am about ready to go to press with it. I don't want to have the same title out there as anyone else. The problem is that I have to get the title out there first.  

Okay, switching gears now...

My son has this bug habitat that he's made for a couple spiders. The other day, we went outside looking for some bugs we could put in there for spider fodder. Well, we ended up finding a whole mess of earwigs, and about 5 of these little bugs, that I thought would be great spider food. We put the bugs in the the habitat and said goodbye to them. When we went back a few hours later, those other bugs we found, were not only NOT spider food, they were actually EATING one of the spiders, and 4 of the earwigs! They're these little bugs that have a needle for a mouth. All they have to do is stick another bug with it, then start sucking out their innards. Much to the dismay of the dead/dying bugs. My son was extremely sad because of this. He had named the spiders and everything. There was Spikey, Daniel Robert, and Frankie. Daniel Robert was a huge daddy long legs that had been killed by these assassin bugs. Spikey lived because he wasn't going leave the safety of his web, and Frankie lived because he is a huge burrowing spider, and no one is going to mess with that. Plus, I think he had hidden himself once he saw the first kill, and realized that these guys only have to stick you once with their needles, and it's all over. We managed to get the killer bugs out of the jar with no more bloodshed.

Lesson learned: Be careful what you put in the spider's den. It could turn out to be a hunter, and not the food.

'Till next time!

The Wed Wooster is a comic book experiment. Some of the characters actually have twitter and facebook accounts so that the reader can interact with the characters, and get the personality of the characters as the story is told through the characters themselves, and through the comic book. The reader can post and comment on the characters' accounts, and get replies back from the characters! It's a little experiment I'm working with NCC, LLC. I hope everyone enjoys it!

Crap, it's been too long since I've been on here. I get caught up in doing pages, or other life events...I'm sorry it's been a while. I am pro'lly just writing to myself here, anyway. The latest posted image (I need to actually scan, or get a better camer) I put on is a scene from the flagship title for New Century Comics. We plan to be out by early next year. We don't have an inker yet, so it takes a long time to do the pages.

Maybe I should invest in outside talent....hmmm...

Well, I had been getting by on just 3 hrs of sleep so that I can get some work done, and I had been getting by fairly successful...until yesterday. I had gotten so weak at one point. Just all of a sudden, it was like I hadn't eaten in days...but I did eat not more than about 2 hrs earlier. I had 2 hefty bowls of cereal...mmmmm...and was better...I guess I need to slow down just a bit. But I did finish a page for a graphic novel I was working on. Meaning the pencils. I do pencils, but I also try to tone my inking and coloring....but pencils are my thing...Will have some more stuff soon. Thank you, and good night!

It is now time for me to
