Sorry to vanish for a few weeks. Things have been… complicated. Another project demanded all my time for a week, then I went down to New Orleans to visit my mom for a week and a half. While I was there I had less room to work than I was expecting to… and more disruptively, I got the news that an old friend in the animation industry died abruptly<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’m back in Seattle right now, but only for a day – I’m going down to LA for the funeral this weekend.<\/p>\n

There’s been progress on Rita<\/em> but it’s all been behind the scenes. I’m really not a fan of putting up “sorry no comic today” updates, especially ones with art – those tend to take the limited time and energy one has available to allocate to the comic and spend it on a blind alley. I’ve got the next several pages of Dragon Rita’s story scripted and partially roughed out, and am filling in the other narratives in fits and starts. The next page is about 1\/3 done.<\/p>\n

I’m really looking forwards to getting back into the studio and resuming this story. Barring any other crises, the only real distraction I have planned is maybe throwing a modest new year’s or solstice party; I’m getting close to wrapping up one of the other projects that’s been fighting Rita<\/em> for my time. I know where I’m going on this comic, and I’m really looking forwards to taking all of you along for the ride again!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
