And now for something slightly different

In the middle of August I sprained both my wrists and kept reinjuring them before they could really fully heal. So last week I had to wear these little braces on my hands and I was unable to draw during that time. This week I got my first cold of the season and spent most of the time watching "Fistful of Dollars", "For a Few Dollars More" and reading Pynchon's "The Crying of Lot 49" before dozing off at the late hour of 9 pm.

I've been working ahead on My Life in Records and the plan was to keep going but with slightly less intensity since school has started, but these two setbacks have slowed things way down. I'm only about a week ahead, so at some point, I'll probably have a missed update on the comic. (frown)

I'm pretty proud of this particular one that I put up this week. It is more of the style that I plan on using once I complete Book One which will be four chapters long.

I went home to gather reference material for this story and realized that I had remembered the name of the record incorrectly. Its actually "The Best of the Best for Kids" instead of "Kids Under Construction," for those of you who try to buy each album as I mention them in the strip. So far every one I've mentioned is out of print. Eventually I'll start talking about records that everyone's heard.


I saw that Bill Gaither is singing at the University of Illinois this fall. Maybe I can track him down and he can sign my record.

In other news, Gilead has written a nice review of my Color Sonnet and other graphic poetry.
