Optimistic

Carefully optimistic. Couple of potentially positive things are proceeding. Now with a bit of luck.

Back covers

Surprise

What I really wanted to do was a comic book that would surprise the readers with each issue because that would be the comic book I would want to read. The element of surprise.
And what I was thinking when starting was this quote on Twin Peaks by David Lynch: "It's about secrets."
Secrets and surprises. You can go a long way with these.

Thing is

Thing is I'm really enjoying doing this issue. One of my favorites so far. Sort of a turning point too. But it's summertime and less days for working. I'll have maybe 2 decent weeks before August. So August it'll be.
But issue 36 is almost ready for the printer. Coming out in July I'd say. 37 then in September and 38 in October. And then itll reach 960 pgs. Which means (in all likelihood) issue 40 will see pg 1000. But that's in some far and distant future. Not here not now, unimportant.

But

But it seems one of my earlier books is coming out in English summer 2018.

So now

Half of my classes for next semester were cancelled. It's a long story but there were some changes in the curriculum and what not and here we are. Basically what this means is I will take a break from Läskimooses after 2 issues. Unless something happens before the fall. Have to figure out a way to get some money. Teaching is more or less the only thing that I'm pretty good at. If you have any ideas please tell.

Slowing down

I finished a 2 pgr for Kuti and started issue 37. Good feeling with that issue. Due to summer and school ending and all work will be slowing down. Unfortunately yes. There'll be a couple of weeks of good work during the summer but I wouldn't expect the issue to be finished before end of August. So I won't stress it. Work as much as I can.
