Verdi had his stitches/staples taken out, and they said he healed well. Paws crossed. Poor sick thing could use a break.

I’ve been coloring Dee for the last 7 hours and my eyes feel like they’re going to fall out. Remember, kids, don’t forget to blink!

But I’ve got a smile on my face and contentment in my chest.

So, Yontengu starts next week! Let me tell you more!

Stewart C. Baker (fiction and poetry writer, check him out at Infomancy) is helping me with some website redesign. And thank goodness. I was trying to write the css in crayon, but the data processor kept giving me distinct reprimands. My knuckles are still red from the ruler. It might not be fully redesigned by Tuesday, but it will be int he works.

As was suggested in Tuesday’s comments by @Dave, “Googling Yontengu brought up some hits for “Yon Tengu”, Japanese for “four tengu”, and a tengu is a supernatural being in Japanese mythology/folklore, sorta like a god or possibly a demon. So, I’m thinking it’s going to be about the four elemental spirits or something like that. (Chris, am I right?)” Yes, Dave, exactly.

Don Ahé (who you may remember from his Spacetrawler fill-in a year-and-a-half ago), who is drawing it, described it better than I could: “I asked Christopher Baldwin, a friend and favorite cartoonist of mine if he would be up for writing a comic for me to draw. I envisioned a female Buck Rogers,  a girl Science Hero like Adam Strange, a tough no nonsense fighter in the vein of the Magnus the Robot Fighter. Christopher enthusiastically jumped aboard, and wrote a great story, totally different then what I had envisioned…..and i loved it. Yontengu starts October 14th, at Baldwinpage.com”

Ha! Well, I wouldn’t say TOTALLY different. Just my take on it. 😉

hello

Just getting your whistle wetted!

Yontengu, Drawn by Don Ahé and written by myself, starts next week! Here’s a promo panel. 🙂

(with any luck I’ll be doing a webpage overhaul in the next week or two, wish me luck, I’m terrible at that stuff)
