dolariAfter a VERY VERY VERY long day of putting comics together and stuffing them on my web server, I woke up to the first of the 2nd Anniversary Gallery submission, by ObakeTenshi. Very pretty piece of Andrea summoning Blue.
I finally went through my links page, cleaning up and repairing a few links here and there...and I noticed a good number of comics on there are no longer being done. Alas, some of the sites are stopped, and a few have even dissapeared (ELLEN SLINGERLAND PLEASE COME BACK, WE MISS YOU!!!!).
The only time I considered killing my comics was when my computer died, making it nigh impossible to do a strip (the last vesitges of the Writing Curse, and it was a Doozy). Since then, I deeply regret missing even a week of the comic.
I've always loved drawing since I was a kid, and while I'm not Image calibre (or Antarctic calibre) it's never stopped me from sketching scenes from stories or doing the occasional portrait of friends.
Doing two comics is sometime just a daunting task, but everytime I hear someone say "I love your comic" I just get the greatest feeling in the world ("Your comic sucks" can also make me feel good, but not as good). I can't imagine Closetspace or AWFW ever going away because I don't feel like drawing. I've NEVER felt like not drawing or writing, and it really makes me happy to look at a finished comic and pop iy up on the webserver.
Bad thing about comics versus novels is, if the novelist doens't want to finish the book, it never gets published. If the comic writer decides not to finish, it's already half-done. Not that I'm complaining about the artists themselves (Even Bill Waterson took a vacation), I just miss reading their adventures. Each comic that dissapeares is an unfinished universe, usually one I want to see more of. (ELLEN SLINGERLAND, PLEASE COME BACK! ALL IS FORGIVEN!!!!)
