Home Sick - Radicals Issue 1 Complete

Aaugggh! I'm not sure how widespread it is, but around here it's front page news: the SUPERBUG! It's a highly contagious stomach virus that's tearing through east Tennesee right now. The other day I was in Powell, Tennessee scouring all the toy departments for 25th Anniversary G.I.Joes. When I got home I saw on the news that Powell Elementary had been shut down or sent home early due to an overwhelming outbreak. Two days later I was violently ill. Ironically, the same morning, we got G.I.Joes in at work. I managed to suppress my need to vomit until the store opened and I was able to buy them. That's right, G.I.Joes are a slightly higher priority than health. If I hadn't run out of hours and had to come home early, I probably wouldn't even have gotten the page colored this week. Speaking of which...

Radicals Issue 1 is done!

I'm happy. This is the first issue I've finished in over 3 years. Usually I would get 4 pages in and decide to reboot the continuity again. Never again! This universe is here to stay.

Next week, I will be running some filler art by Roberta as a "bump" to give me some more pre-production time for issue 2, which should start the following week.

Also, running the same week as the "bump", is "Burt and the I.L.S.", an action comedy series by Sam White, author/artist of Tuttle's and Burt Cottage.

Congrats to the Shepherd for running consitently in the TWCL top 1,000 for the last week!
