Life and Comics and Paragraphs

Oh so neglectful of my duties as a blogger. But hey, in all seriousness, I'm mostly talking to myself right now ^_^

But as I promised, this blog won't entirely revolve around Etsy, so here's another thing that's happening in my life:

Mike and I are creating a comic based on our cats in the forms of super awesome cat detectives. Dare I say more? (I'm super paranoid about awesome-idea-thiefs.) I won't spout the name just yet, but I can tell you it deals with the idea of "black" in Japanese since both of our cats are 100% black. Mike has drafted the first and second book, but so far all I've done is design Apollo and Hermes (our cats) and their two bunny buddies Bobbit and Duane. Yeah, I'm a bit slower than Mike in the development, but it this comic WILL happen, and you are the first one (aside my Mike,myself and family) to know about it. You should feel awesome. Once the sketches are more developed I'll post pictures (it's really because I don't want to reveal their awesomeness just yet.)

# of times awesome was used: 4

Here's what I'm excited about:

One of the best comics I've read so far. What? This was a comic first? Yes. And I highly recommend it. Bryan Lee O'Mally is a phenomenal writer and artist...I have some much heart for him. He writes the comic with a sense of humor that makes fun of the comic as a comic and the fact that it's a convoluted dating story. And the rest of the funny? Hits the spot.  I was so excited and impatient for volume 6 to come out, Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour, (the last of the series) that I called Barnes and Noble and the local Fort Collins comic book stores, Halley's Comics and Gryphon Games and Comics, only to be told that they only had the first volume and they were sold out of the 6th volume already (this was on the day of it's release). So, because of my inability to wait a week for their next shipment, I called Time Warp comic in Boulder (which is an hour away) and put a copy on hold. And they laughed at me...because Scott Pilgrim is not a comic read by most serious comic book readers. BUT, I was able to buy the 6th volume so that doesn't matter ^_^

Toots!
