Been gone for a while, sorry about that. *cough* Been in a wee dark room, digitally making things that happened inside a warehouse in L.A. look like they happened outside in Kentucky. (Think the people on Tee-Vee are actually driving them cars? Think again.)
Just finished laying out a new issue of our comic, too. I didn't have a formal script written down this time, I just had the basic story worked out and sorta test-ran the dialogue ideas out loud for Stephanie--crossed my fingers and hoped that my (amazing) jokes would make it through the patented Lantry Eye-Roll Filter--then we figured out what should go where, and she drew little thumbnails, etc.
This process took us several evenings, and by the time we got to the last page--surprise!--I had completely forgotten what the dialogue was supposed to be from the previous 20 pages--we only had thumbnails to go on, mind you, no word bubbles. Doh! However, it was an only slightly panicked kind of fun to read back over this silent cartoon story and try to remember who said what, and when, and why. Like subtitling a mime show. Stephanie was very patient and gave me several sympathetic, sad looks, as though I were a swiftly degenerating Alzheimer's patient. Anyway, it's all down in black and white now. Story wheat and story chaff = separated. S'gonna be a great issue.
Hot dang, I'm sleepy. I'll have a new one o'these out on Wednesday. G'night!
