Yeah, no ghost for those of you who were expecting that scene to continue. All I can do is point to Hailey for that one… :P
But I thought I might as well post to say hooray, it’s the Dovecote Crest itself in the comic at last! I only wish I’d been able to do this strip not during midterms, so I could make it as good as I want it to be. But it’s exciting to get it drawn in there nonetheless!
The donation drive at the CCA ended on Sunday, and a great success it was, raising $10,000! Thank you so much – that’s a really significant amount, and it’ll do a lot of good out there.
Comic-wise, I had an opportunity to get some good critique on the website and comic recently, so if I ever have time again, there may be some little design changes coming up here and there! Something to look forward to, I guess…?
Due to a rather exciting bout of food poisoning this past weekend, there will be no comic on Tuesday. Sorry about the delay! See you Thursday – and thanks to those of you who have donated over at the Comic Creator’s Alliance! Your help means a lot.
From a movie review in today’s New York Times:
“[The main girl's first boyfriend sucks, blah blah blah.] Also, his name is Jeremy, and the laws of Hollywood dictate that no romantic comedy heroine will ever wed a high-achieving Jeremy…”
Though I don’t know if we could actually call Jeremy “high-achieving” so much as “a giant nerd.”
In my playwriting class the other day, my teacher quoted some writer (I don’t remember who) as saying that he knew a play was done when people watched the same play and still could argue about it. (Only more poetically put…) That’s something I’ve been working hard to achieve with my playwriting lately, so I was more than a little pleased to see the reactions to Thursday’s strip. It also never ceases to amaze me how often people guess explanations or theories that are exactly what I was thinking while writing or outlining…
One of the awesome things about writing in this format is that things can be changed and added really up to the last minute. The next couple of strips coming up (those starting Tuesday, I believe) were written a good while ago, but they were something I hadn’t even thought about writing or including until I read all the responses to the revelation of Ben and Tess’s relationship. I think (I hope!) that members of both ‘teams’ will like them. Anyway, sometimes I write a strip or run of strips that I cannot wait to see what Bridget will do with them, and this is one of them. Is that giving too much away?
PS I fail hardcore at updating this, I’m sorry!
