13-2: Giving Thanks

And you thought he was going to say "Alchemy."

This Thanksgiving, I too am having a quiet two-person Thanksgiving with my mom. While I don't have similar grumpiness about it as Gary, I sympathize with his plight as I have many memories of family reunions and holidays involving such situations. Excluding the mashed potatoes bit. I was ALWAYS among the first in line for food.

I don't think I entirely like this comic. Just the way I wrote it, or drew it. I need to put in some harder work for these comics. But meh.

A common (almost cliché) aspect of Thanksgiving is that people will state what they are thankful for. In my case, I am thankful for those of you who have been reading since Melody & Macabre - which I am also thankful for.

I am not thankful for my poor motivation, but I am thankful for the overactive imagination which has spawned these comics, and I hope it keeps me going.

Still without very many art entries… I think I have, like, one person who's drawn some characters, though that person might have some difficulty keeping up with their own comics, so I still probably don't have an artist. I'm considering doing a few doodles to get the hang of the characters again, but I'm getting an Artist's Block about the new viewpoint character (who will be partnered up with Ace). All I know is she's blonde and around her 20's. Nuts.

Have a happy Thanksgiving, everybody.
