Nothingface rolls on...(and a ramble)...

Got some more pages for the next Nothingface arc. Here's page 1 of book 2 drawn by Dan Schmidt, written and lettered by myself, awaiting colors by Ray Dillon. (click to enlarge)

Book 1 is still being colored and lettered but I hope to be able to tell you when and where this series will be coming out within the next couple months. STAY TUNED!


Personal ramble: Is it just a guy thing to want to take care of things...try to fix problems? And then to get really frustrated when you're asked to leave it alone? Or worse still to know there's a problem and basically be shut out, not let in on what's wrong, and get really frustrated? Not so much that you're frustrated with the person, just the situation. Maybe there's nothing you can do but being a guy it's like you feel like you have to try. A man takes care of the people that matter to him, right?

I don't have a lot of really close friends, maybe it's partially because I'm a hermit sitting here trying to make comics...but it's also because I just don't think many people are worth my time. That sounds pretty crappy and egotistical, but that's just me. I don't connect with lots of people and I honestly have a hard time not thinking 60% of the people I meet are idiots. So, anyway, when one of the rare people I feel especially close to is obviously struggling...even to the point of basically SAYING "Yeah, something awful is going on...but I'm not going to talk to you about it"...it bloody well KILLS me to not know what's going down and not be able to try and offer a solution or even just offer words of comfort that mean anything.

And of course being a writer with a writer's imagination doesn't help matters. Little tidbits pop into your head...things that have been said recently, possibly odd little behaviors you've noticed in the past few weeks...then you toss those around with known facts and color it all with your own perceptions and look at it filtered through your own emotions and before long you're running 10 very possible scenarios that are most likely FAR worse than what's really happening.

AARRRGGGHH!!

Okay, just had to get that out of my system. Hope I didn't bore any of the three of you who actually come here away from ever coming back! ;)
