Tuesday Update...

Eli here, popping in for a quick update - we've completed our scripts for the next story arc, and I'm in the process of penciling the next strip. I'm going to try to complete and post it this week. To tide you over, I'm posting this sketch of SCOM I did in preparation for the upcoming story arc. I welcome your speculations as to what this sketch foreshadows...

Delays...

Well, after 5 weekly strips, we've hit delays again. Jason and I have a story idea we're working on for a multi-strip arc, but we're having trouble getting all of our ideas to work together, so we're in the refining stage of writing. I feel most comfortable at this point with having an entire story arc finished before starting to draw anything, so I'm not sure when the next strip will be, but we can hope for this weekend.

Well, technically it's still Monday (at least in USA Central Standard Time), but last week was a pretty busy week. My friend Ryan Nelson came up with the idea that spawned this strip, and since he's about to graduate with his masters degree, and since he's been bugging me about it since he first told me his idea, this is for you Ryan. Congratulations, and hope you enjoy Japan! - eli
