Delays, Delays, and More Delays

Okay, so I didn't make my September 1st deadline to begin publishing G.I.JEFF. No big surprise there. Originally, I had hope to start by the end of July. Oh, well! Unfortunately, getting all my ducks in a row before our family vacation, the vacation itself and the mild flu or bad cold (not sure which) that I came down with on Labor Day all conspired against my plan to go out and scan the pages I've inked and to start coloring and lettering. As they say, life is what happens while you're making other plans.

Just to prove that I have not been idle all this time, here's a photo of the cover and first two pages for G.I.JEFF as well as the cover and first page for PIG-FIST, all inked and ready to letter and color. I've also pencilled and inked four more pages of G.I.JEFF's first adventure, "Dead Men Don't Eat Quiche", and scripted its sequel, "Real Men Don't Wear Plaid" and the entire inagural story for PIG-FIST and BACON.

Anyhow, my new plan is to - sometime this week - scan the pages (unfortunately, as I've mentioned before, they are too large for my little scanner). I will start coloring and lettering by early next week; however, I have another trip scheduled for the weekend of the 21st. Therefore, it's doubtful that I will have anything posted before 9/28, but it's a pretty good bet that I will have at least the cover published by that date.

But please don't hold your breath.
