It seems that life is what happens when you aren’t cartooning.

I’ve been holding off on any substantial blog posts out of a sense of obligation that the cartoons need to come first. I feel bad sitting down to type when I should be cartooning. Unfourtnately though, my cartooning time has been coming in short bursts where I try to jam as many strips as I can create into little time windows (hense daily updates for a few days and then nothing for a while). I’ve passed on a few weighty and/or entertaining blog topics, relegating my thoughts to small Twitter snippits and Facebook updates.

With the layoff, making time to let my wife study and do homework, taking the family out to do things, a recent garage sale (emptied a 10X20 storage unit) and a “fussy” baby (she will only allow me or my wife to hold her and we need to be in her eyeline) the cartoon windows have been brief (but oh so satisfying when they do come). We were childless when I initially launched in 2000 and was on hiatus when my first was born. I thought I had a grasp of what a wee one would do to my schedule and how to work around it … HA!

So most everything else on the site has been put on hold until I can catch up with my cartoon backlog. Well, I’m going to fnish out the current vasectomy storyline and then start posting strips on days they are done (or at least try to build up a buffer again if I get one of those presious chunks of time).

Don’t worry, I won’t be giving up or going on hiatus. It seems I am happiest when I am cartooning. Even if it’s a little progress at a time. It seems I get very irritable and anxious when I go too long without putting pencil to paper (or mouse to paint program for that matter).

So please bear with me as I get my “C” legs under me again (“C” for “cartooning”) and get the gears of the site oiled and spinning again. There will be more blog posts coming, a site redesign, more tutorials and content and of couse … many much more cartoons.

Thanks for hanging in there. =)
