Coloring has begun
I’m reminded of an apocryphal story about James Joyce. When asked at a party how much he had written that day, Joyce supposedly replied, “Seven words.” The other guest was astonished ay such a small output, when Joyce further confounded him by adding, “Oh, I knew the seven words this morning. I just didn’t know what order they went in.”
What started out as twelve pages of script turned into seventeen pages of comic, but then I got caught up in re-ordering stuff, drawing new panels, trying to get the flow to work better. More than three-quarters of these pages are all from one sequence, in which a lot of information is conveyed and I wasn’t about to let it get boring. I think I succeeded, but you’ll know soon enough.
I’ve stopped drawing now to start coloring the pages. As soon as I feel I am far enough ahead to do so, I will start posting again. I am anxious to get on to the next sequence, as it is one that I have been looking forward to since I started the comic. Of course, I’m not going to tell you about it.

I enjoy hearing about your creative process as almost as much as I enjoy the results.

Yay!

Rest assured, we’re looking forward to it, too. Just maybe not as much … yet.
Hey, if -you- think it’s going to be amazing, it’s going to be beyond amazing.

Good luck, and keep up the good work, you’ve got me dying to see what happens next!

Wahoo! Seventeen more pages! Post them all at once! No, wait, don’t do that. That’s an overdose followed by a painful withdrawal period. Take your time, please. And thank you for keeping us posted.

Dear Larry,
I can’t say I’ve been coming EVERY week since last comic update, but I have a few times. I hope things are back to normal, and your mom is better.
I cannot describe either how happy I am about LIM coming back

WOOT!! I’ve missed this comic and *cannot wait* to see what you’ve got to show us! But take your time, creating the sort of mood you do with your colors, which never fails to impress (or just creep right the hell out), must be a continual challenge. Your final work is certain to be worth the hiatus!
