Well, I must say I’ve been working like a fiend to get my Abe entry in for I Am the Last VCR before Cait and I leave to visit her parents in Charlotte this weekend. I thought the Inspiratomatic was as in-depth as I would get for our little artsy community, but boy was I wrong. I’ve spent all day and all night for the last week and a half on this damn thang. A three-page comic, in color, and in the Stan Lee-Jack Kirby-Steve Ditko Marvel Manner. It sorta rocks my own face off. There, I said it.

Last night: a breakthrough. Sometimes one’s mind is not in any state to read a New Yorker article. Each sentence takes at least ten minutes, and drawing a drawing will do much better to help said mind to relax while remaining engaged. I hadn’t drawn Buchwald the Repentant Demon in a long time, and it looks like he’s been very lonely.
