She grew up.

Chapter:
Characters: ,

It’s hard to draw anymore, working from home has left me burnt out and hating my computer. In the off chance I get off early enough, and my computer isn’t tied up rendering late into the night, I’d rather spend what little time I have of away from this screen.

Dilly had her first day of school on monday. Looking around at all the other parents was the first time I’ve ever felt like an adult.

I work too much and need to stop. I’ve already missed too much, I’m sorry dilly.

Morgenstimmung

Chapter:

I don’t know what’s going on upstairs anymore but I’m starting to hear some morning music with a lifting fog. I think it’s time to draw again?

Rolling Stone and what not

Chapter:

Whelp I missed the first one after trying to restart, I didn’t think it would be so hard to get going again. Turns out missing 3 months really hampers motivation.

My wife broke her arm in October which forced double parenting duty on me. So by the time work, cooking, the kids in bed, and anything my second job needed that day was complete, it be 11 PM most nights. One reliable solid hour a day is all I’ve had available for the most part, and that isn’t enough for well…, anything. Compounding that is the realization that working from home absolutely sucks the longer it goes on, once I’ve punched out for the day I have no desire to sit in the same chair staring at the same screen, again, knowing the next day would be the same.

I do have an exciting project I’m working out for the next few weeks that had me excited to draw again finally. Hopefully I don’t miss any more sundays.

Getting restarted

Chapter:

It’s been a rough few months and I’ll explain more later, but I’ve reached the point that I have time and the urge to get started with this again. Restarting is also terrifying so I’m limiting it to Sundays only. Here’s to baby steps and new starts.

I can see the light

Chapter:

The home situation is smoothing out finally. There may be time to draw regularly again soon. Working Mr. Mom is not a fun time.

Broken dreams, and arms.

Chapter:

“I can play a game a week” I thought to myself as the weekend began. Unknown to him at the time, said the narrator, only extra complicated work, and hanging out with the kids at the urgent care parking lot we in his future.

I’m done for today, today we take one down and pass it around, 323 games to go!

10/28/20 edit

I have flat out no time to do any comics until my wifes arm is healed. I can not to two jobs, handle the kids, and draw these. I’ll be back in a bit.

14 hour days.

I’ve been working for 14 hours straight, I’m not drawing tonight. I’m going to bed.

Much to do.

Chapter:

There are to many things happening tonight to work I’ve been told. The pig escaped for instance, which wouldn’t be a problem normally if it weren’t for the flying shark. The skeleton keeps offering it a banana but the shark only wants little bites. The pirates meanwhile, clearly terrified by a living skeleton decided to shoot it with a cannon. This had the desired effect of scattering the undead bones while accidentally letting the shark eat the full banana in one bite. Now that the shark was no longer distracted it turned about towards said pirates and declared “I’m still hungry”…

I’m afraid this could go all night.

Campaign board games.

Chapter:

I looked up how many sessions we have left to finish in Gloomhaven Jaws of the Lion and we’re about halfway through. Then I realized we only realistically play a game 1 night a week. So just to finish Jaws of the Lion will take 2 months. “Not too bad” I thought to myself before glancing over at the shelfs full of campaign based games. With a horrifying curiosity I counted the games it would take to finish all the other campaigns and arrived at around 330 give or take 10 or so. At one game a week it will be over 6 years of something new everyweek.

That realization made me unsubscribe to every boardgame related media. No need to watch more commercials, I have enough games for a while.

Lego

The comic is a repeat, but I’m fatter today. I’m spending this evening building the Pirate Bay set. Dilly saw the box and wants to play with it but she’s not coordinated enough to build it herself. I can draw later, Time with her is more important.
