I'm attempting to really challenge myself on the last issue I'm writing and see if I can write a whole issue without dialogue... it's going to be tough and no promising I pull it off haha

Yeah, in a few pages you will see a note Theresa has written where she expresses sadness at what she has to draw. This issue was written quickly, but it also made me quite sad

Thank you! I'm back and recharged!!

I was haha, I wrote an entirely new draft of issue 8 in the 7 hour car ride down to Newport Rhode Island

OMG You are so lucky you got to see him read! I saw him once in 2013 when he released Ocean At The End of The Lane

Haha I will, perhaps expect to see that page shift wildly between the roughs and pencils XD

It's crazy how long we've been plugging away on the blockchain haha.

It's actually one of the coolest depictions of Rot-Magic that Theresa has put to paper so far.

Video is up! Check out my page haha

Thanks, man! Hope you had a good one, haha.
