I've been living in Seattle now for about six months, a lot of those with Erin and her fiancee, and there's a lot of behind-the-scenes activity going on. I figure with all the stuff I'm seeing here recently asking about her and the comic, I'd give y'all a little update from my time with them (with her permission, of course). The last couple of months have been pretty hectic. Erin herself is doing well and has graduated from art school. While she's between jobs right now, she's actually doing quite a bit of non-VE art to help pay the bills (one for Wired Online, no less), and both Loren Coven and I do a lot of art "jams" with her. She IS actually working on VE, as well. I just saw the next comic tonight and Panel 1 looks really nice, and there are several more coming down the pipe. The Omega Commissions are mostly done, and are awaiting some cash for printing (cash is hard to come by for everyone up here right now, myself included). There's a new VE site redesign coming, and it looks great. She is getting the VE Comics out slowly but surely, as some of you may know. That's about as much of an update as I can think of for now. Hopefully this clears up what's been going on the last few months at Casa Lindsey. Jenn Not All Warriors Are Called "Sir!" http://www.dolari.org/cs http://www.dolari.org/awfw

She's trying to make a backlog of comics before she starts posting. I've seen three strips now, two mostly done. >Does this mean we can expect regular updates again?

Well, I know a couple of others, but that's really all there is to my daily comedy retinue. The one that always surprises me is Subnormality.

I will then mention the calories we just ingested, and begin to weep softly in shame. In case I failed to mention this, it will be good to see the author jump back into activity. I enjoyed her story(s) and would be saddened to see her discontinue them. Also, what happened to Venus Rising? 'My yes, unrivaled potential!

Stays pretty active despite the artist seeming very busy otherwise. Sometimes I think Jeph goes a bit overboard to make sure he gets a comic out, or at least to try. Penny Arcade, Sluggy, Non-Adventures of Wonderella, Octopus Pie, Nobody Scores!, Something Positive, ScaryGoRound, Three Panel Soul, A Softer World, I Was Kidnapped By Lesbian Pirates From Outer Space, et al., have all also been very good with the regular updates as far as I've been able to tell. And that's just the more comedic ones. --------------------- "If you do a commercial, you're off the artistic role call.

Anyone remember Sexy Losers? That one Suicide Prevention episode was a scream. 'So why were you going to jump, anyways?' 'Because my parents disowned me for dressing like a woman.' Guy jumps instead 'We are not what we remember of ourselves. We can only undo what others have already forgotten. Learn from your mistakes, so that one day you can repeat them precisely.

The reason why Chris can put our an update on time everytime? He makes his LIVING doing Misfile. Erin and I aren't so fortunate. I can't speak for Erin, but I see, at the most, about $50 every other month on my comic. So I have to "supplement" that income with a "Real Job" to make rent and groceries and whatnot. So 8 hours of my day is working a job that regularly crushes me with so much stress, that I can't even think straight much less push a pencil into something that looks like a chaaracter. In Erin's case, most of her time is spent hunting for art jobs that will cover her bills, and the stress of worrying about where she'll live is prolly a lot worse than mine. Given this, we put out our comics as quickly as we can, which may not be so quick if we're wondering where our next meal is coming from, or if we'll be evicted. Remember, there's a person on the other side of that pencil. We're doing the best we can, but we're only human. Cut us some slack, folks. We're not going away - we're just running VERY VERY late.

Cause this just reminded me that I still have some of those that he emailed me in early 2005 in my hotmail mailbox. :V

Have either of you ran any thought experiments on how to make your mutual sharing of intellectual vomitus a self-sustaining endeavor, however, Jenn? Edit: Also, I mean no insult by referring to a form of continued, episodic and/or infrequent serial art as 'intellectual vomitus'. As a poor excuse for a writer myself, this is my cynical/humorous label for anything I write, particularly in the vein of poetry. 'We are not what we remember of ourselves.

Have either of you ran any thought experiments on how to make your mutual sharing of intellectual vomitus a self-sustaining endeavor, however, Jenn? Yes, and it's got a working title of "The Primer Project." Erin and I will have a story each in it, as well as two other stories by other writers who are interested, but haven't committed. That's all I'll say for now about that - but hopefully we'll have something before the end of the year. Jenn Not All Warriors Are Called "Sir!" http://www.dolari.org/cs http://www.dolari.org/awfw
