the person who bought this also asked if i planned to print any further comic books. the “plan,” as much as the comic strip ever had one, from the beginning has been to print the whole thing, but I have not made any progress toward preparing the fourth book, apart from switching things around to make book 3 conclude more cleanly. in fact i haven’t touched new pages either since june or july. unfortunately i seem only able to progress on one unending niche-interest project at a time, and for much of this year it was the gzdoom business that I had accumulated much anxiety about leaving unfinished for years, not considering that it was not a bit closed to being finishable. the comic strip and beet cartoons also aren’t but they at least have progressed linearly enough that I could release bits of them in arguably finalized forms. beet part 1 being most arguable since I had started on a redraw of that, even, which also lingers unfinished, while the initial finalization of part 3 also does.
I suppose it is “progress” that I recognize a finalization to be “initial.” I suppose it is better to accept a habit you can’t break than live the rest of your life continually being freshly disappointed by your failing to break it. I suppose frequently. I suspect I am not supposed to. I also suspect frequently, hence perhaps my illustrating of suspicious-looking beast-folk.
