Buzz was down for quite some time yesterday but the new incentive is back up. Check it out. ^_^

I indulged myself in some good ole' MT a couple days ago. I totally forgot where I left off so I started as close to it as I could. The plot has certainly thickened. I really enjoyed some of the latest scenes with Kimi and the cafe incident and of course the train scene was just 'in your face' good. It's awesome to see that at almost 1000 strips, Fred is still kicking ass. It really is quite sad all the assholes that give him hell. He's a sweet guy who works hard. I was listening to one of the lastest Alpha Shade rants where they mentioned (mind you I don't know if this really happened because I didn't look for it but I don't doubt it one bit) that someone gave Fred hell because he didn't get his page up by 9 a.m. and was therefore unprofessional. What is it about the webcomic community that they think that creativity just happens? Sometimes it takes extra time to get a scene right. I guess Fred and I agree on that aspect - you put up exactly what you see in your head, not crap to meet a deadline. Granted I ended up taking months (blame the newspaper) but I remember when I was doing Chapter 5 back in the day I would sometimes take two to three weeks but that was some of the best work in the book. I'm incredibly thankful for my readership that they are not in any way assholes and are truly understanding (yes, love love love ^_-) because god, if I had some of the jerks Fred has I'd most likely track them via IP and make their computer as useless as a paperweight. But that's just me - he's a hell of a lot nicer. ^_^ (Remembers the day of the aerial photograph of that one kid)

You know, when I started this comic back in 2003 I had a huge, HUGE problem with artist drama. I was totally against it. The only time I complained about my life was to inform you of my medical mistrials. I don't remember ever, until the end going on depressing rants like I've been doing over the last few days. I used to say that was something I kept for my real journals. I hated the idea of dumping on my readers emotionally. I guess over the last year I got in a funk and somehow that idealism that I held in the early days got disregarded. I apologize for that. I'll try to keep my 'woe is me's' to myself. Seriously, I don't know why I thought that was a good idea.

This entry apparently had no rant from back in the day. Either that or it was erased. *shrugs* You'll notice I'm not updating the stupid countdown calednar. Seriously, if I update every weekday, that gets really annoying to pull that down everytime and change it just to say 'hey, tomorrow' so just ignore it till I come up with something better. And on that note, till tomorrow.
