OK, I’m going skiing tomorrow. If you don’t hear from me by Monday, don’t hesitate to call in the search helicopters.
Haven’t been able to get much work done while visiting the old country. I know I’m on vacation, but I need to do something. So this evening I drew a Cock and Bull strip. In bed. Can’t say I highly recommend it. Non-sturdy surfaces such as mattresses don’t make for good drafting tables. At least I had the good sense not to use bottled ink, which is probably the most positive thing that can be said about the experience.
Anyway, very few people or animals were hurt in the process.
So, now I have my very first original Cock and Bull comic strip, at least! I suppose that’s something. If I don’t have my Cintiq, I don’t care much for drawing on the computer, so there you go. When the strip is published sometime in May, I might put it up on eBay or whatever. I’m just scared to put it up there – what if nobody bids on it…? I think the embarrassment would be too much to handle. Or what if it sold, but for something like 19 cents! That’d be even worse.
Now, I’m scared.
So, I’m enjoying my vacation and am even reasonably optimistic about surviving the trek into the snowy wild. Just remember, if I need saving and you send out one of those St. Bernard dogs with the barrel around its neck – make sure to fill the barrel with 12 year-old Dewars Scotch Whiskey. If the good Lord intends for me to expire, I’d like to go out on a high note.
Thank you very much.
