Io, Saturnalia!

Still working on some new comics. This might be the week I actually get them posted....

In the meantime, check out the Ancient Roman recipes-of-the-day.

I notice that I'm always out of steam at the end of the month/beginning of the next and there's usually a gap in posting new comics or art. I should try to compensate for that going forward by building in a buffer earlier in the month.

Kickstarter update:

Three more days left, and the goal is very close! If you can think of one other person who might be interested ancient Roman melodrama, curly-haired heroes (curls show you're strong!), and of course a scattering of bears (this kind and this kind), send them there!

On Tuesdays I usually help out with the weekly new comics delivery at Carmine Street Comics--and between that and staying up all night Monday (working and drawing), I fell asleep yesterday before finishing a new comic in Chapter V. One of the things that kept me up all night with my brain churning was working on ideas for a Mus & Menander art print. I don't want to depict these two characters always in saucy poses. But I'm feeling sentimental about them not getting much time together (whose fault is that? the volcano, that's who, not me, I just tell the story), and that always makes me want to show them being cuddly.

And in conclusion: ( Birthday Bear! )
 

Lots and lots of hair.

An itty bitty drawing I doodled during quick breaks from the freelancing.

I think he's wearing 1950s movie armour, so since it's just made out of papier-mâché, it doesn't have to be too accurate....

Here's that pencil sketch from last week, finished.

I promise, the next SOTD won't be a bear :D
