THANKS FOR GIVING!
ENJOY THE HOLIDAY! We're certainly thankful for a break. Getting this last page up proved a little more time consuming than anticipated. Ideally, we wanted to post something Thanksgiving themed in addition to our Weds post. What you'll get instead is footage of a cat cleaning itself looped over and over again. YOU'RE WELCOME (sorry)!

I'VE BEEN PUTTING THIS OFF LIKE A DONKUS!
Hi team,
Been a bit of time since I've posted, hasn't it? That won't be the case any longer, but I'm also not a fan of the fact that it's been almost two weeks since the last post. We've had some extenuating circumstances that have kept me busy with other aspects of the comic: a hefty chunk of volume two has now been written, and I've been working on some new characters that I'm excited to one day soon see visualized. I'll be honest though, I've had to pour a lot of time into trying to see some grad school applications through. My hope had been to start school part-time this spring, but with the mail system and power having been punched in the face, it's been more difficult than I would have liked. There's still some aspects that remain unresolved, but I've done everything I can from my end. Now at least I can put more time into writing and updating.
That is enough about me and my pile of excuses. We are planning a special comic update for this turkey-based holiday coming up, and I've finally posted our footage for day three of NYCC. This video is much shorter, because I wanted to cut to the chase to an interview with Elaine Lee. Elaine was our wonderful table neighbor and comic con, and has been in the comic business long enough to have a lot of great advice and perspective. Relatively recently, her comic Starstruck has moved to a webcomic format, and in the interview speaks to what lead to that decision. Check the comic out at: www.starstruckcomics.com/. They've also done quite a cool thing by turning their comic into an audio book. Actors each read for an assigned character as though it were a play, and it's an interesting way of distributing the media. Enjoy the interview, and be prepared for some intense scenes in our comic in the near future!
