Well, it's true.

I was originally going to have Death's eyes be red, but I thought… it'd clash too hard.

And is anybody else confused that Emily has suddenly become a ventriloquist's puppet, rather than a marionette?

Something fun about the Boogeyman, I've realized that I draw him with a nose, but not ears. I figure it's because his face is a bit like someone who wears a stocking mask, at least in shape. His nose is a bit squished and with little form, and his ears would appear to be flattened on the side. This is, of course, just an illusion, as… well, that's all part of him, just as Death's robe is part of him.

Okay, so problem. I know I said we'd have 6 weeks to go, but… okay, here's the thing. My sister is going to be in town next week.

So during the day, we'll be going all around PA doing things, and at night, not only will I be too tired to do comics, my sister will be sleeping in the living room - guess where the computer is.

Two ways this can be dealt with.

PLAN A: I will try to do two comics a day this week, and hopefully will have next week's comics ready to go so I won't have to worry about it all week.

PLAN B: We take a week off, which may very well encroach on the new series at this point. Or not, I'm not sure, but it WILL cut into my prep time for it.

Ugh… I'll try for Plan A, but be prepared for Plan B. I'll let you know by Friday.
