Saturday – got new tires, sold extra books (got more than I expected and they took less than I expected), napped, drew a new Trot and also a Cap’n Bill, watched Head in the Clouds, a sweeping historical romance with a real bummer of an ending and The Fearless Vampire Killers, a comedy that was entirely too slow for my tastes.

Sunday – mowed the lawn, fried up some turkey bacon, drank a couple of bottles of wine, went shopping, drew a Nick Chopper. Not necessarily in that order.

Today we go spend some money. Cause we’ve got some. Wouldn’t want to hang on to it too long now would we? We’re getting new tires for the car. It’s needed them for about two years now. While those are getting put on we’ll have some of our unloved and duplicate books getting traded in at Epilogue Books. Then Nizzibet gets a hair cut and we go buy some clothes. Big plans for the day. I’m so jealous of us.

Actually on the Dining Room Table – I gave JDogg my drawing board when he moved out –

In sketch form – the Gump

Waiting to be inked – a couple of Hammerheads, Glinda, T.M. Wogglebug, the Glass Cat and the last of the Tcho-tcho illustrations. (The Tcho-tchos are for The Black Seal not Oz Squad.)

Waiting for shading and photoshopping – the Sawhorse

Waiting to be redrawn – Trot (Nothing wrong with the drawing. It’s … dull. Trot is a livelier person.)

I’ve bowed out of doing illustrations for the Sasquatch Chronicles. I was already running late and with needing to pack up, paint and move I just saw myself getting later.

I also have quite a few kaiju waiting to get worked on but I don’t see myself getting back to those for a few weeks. Or more.

Added info about Oz Story to the Oz Comics pages. I’d provide links but the cat has decided that she wants my attention this morning and doesn’t appreciate me trying to type when she thinks my hands could be better used to scratch her.

The Hungry Tiger and the Kalidah pages are now up. I’m not sure if I’ll keep the character history for the kalidah. I can’t tell if what I wrote was actually amusing or just a poor reflection of what was amusing when I first thought it. I’ll have to reread it in a couple of weeks and see how it hits me then.

Added images of Oz-Story to the Oz comics page.

Not much to show otherwise. I have writing to do for the Who’s Who pages. More drawing for that as well. One more illustration for the Chaucha article. I’ve set the end of May as my deadline to finish the Sacrifice comic.

A friend’s father passed away this weekend. Not unexpected. He had a bad heart and he’s had a few heart attacks already. Apparently he finally got hit by one that he couldn’t recover from. I’ve been trying to reach my friend without luck since I heard on Sunday.

Added image links for the Hungry Tiger and a Kalidah to the Oz Squad Who’s Who page. Since I haven’t written entries for those characters yet the links don’t go anywhere.

Epilogue.net has accepted (and posted) my latest submission. It’s for an article in the next Black Seal; a faux-anthropological study of the Tcho-tcho. The thing on his chest is one of the “mandalas”, a bit inspired by The 37th Mandala by Marc Laidlaw.

Added Jellia Jamb to the Oz Squad Who’s Who.
