Just M-W-F strips this week, folks. Sorry, this is where the bronchitis I got three weeks back caught up to me.
I try to maintain a three week buffer as a rule not just out of OCD, but because these strips are much more complex to draw than my usual fare, and not having that sense of “OH MY GOD I NEED TO DRAW TOMORROW’S NOW” urgency lets me relax and do them perfectly.
(Even still, you can probably still tell that this week’s strips weren’t drawn on my best days.)
Bill Barnes is the creator of Unshelved, a webcomic about librarians. Don’t laugh, it’s true. A regular feature is the Unshelved Book Club, where characters talk about a book they’ve read. Sometimes Bill invites other webcomics to get into the act, and probably, what, a billion months ago he asked me to.
I originally planned to do something with Robin and Leslie from Shortpacked! about The Year of Living Biblically by A.J. Jacobs, but then convention season happened and I became Worst Guest Comic Contributor Ever. But a few weeks ago Bill reminded me that he could totally end me, and I got back to it. Not because of any threats of bodily harm he may or may not have threatened, but because we’re really good friends and I didn’t want to let him down.
Between the original solicitation for a guest strip and the actual creation, I had a new webcomic. So enjoy.
