Page 51

Slightly later post today as I've scanned in a big batch of pages. I think maybe all but one page are scanned in now. Still some tweaking to do on a few of the ones already scanned in. But we are now arriving at that crucial point of actually being finished.

 

So yeah, I've been working hard. In fact so hard that I think I might've been a bit starved for attention recently, because I found my self giving random people lip for no reason. I'm not just talking housemates I'm talking strangers in the street. Someone says something to someone behind me, and I assume they're talking to me and start mouthing off. Always with a smile of course. I'm not a monster. It's always clear I'm kidding. But also...I don't realise until afterwards that they weren't even talking to me. I'm not sure what was happening. Is this the first stage of becoming the local weirdo? The thing is it came right off the back of me being less social in my day to day. Thankfully I've been able to see some people since, but it was like my sass mouth quota wasn't being reached and I was just fiending for an opportunity to back talk.

I'm not hooked on smack or crack. I'm hooked on smack talk and cracking wise. Anyone can get it. You just have to talking in earshot of me.

 

On a different note, I went to forbidden planet the other day to check out some graphic novels and in order to figure out what kind of cover I wanted. My worries about making a graphic novel were unfounded. I can't remember if it was here or my mailing list where I was saying that I'm not sure how many pages a graphic novel has to be, I basically just read a couple things online and then got in my head and thought I was making it wrong. But actually, it's really fine. Even the comic being landscape is not nearly as big of an issue as I thought. So everything's fine. We are all good.
