Podscape – The Comic

Arrrgh….It’s Wednesday and I’m late with Podscape. Not only late this week, but a week late; this is the part where I curl up into the fetal position and pray to the story and art gods to grant me divine inspiration and eternal forgiveness on the part of the Podscape fans out there.

Actually that’s not really the issue, I have several storylines I’m currently writing, editing, writing some more, and editing some more by just tossing out to the floor. There are more characters to reveal, a lot more, and more ideas to work out and debut on the site. It is not the lack of interest or love I have for this strip or the characters in it that is causing me to fall behind, it’s the time constraints that are killing me and have been for the last two months. Every since Western Civilization decided to hit the skids big time last fall, my job has gone into freak-out overdrive in both workload and intense paranoia about the economy. Plus factor in about a zillion other complications because of the weekly series of snowstorms we have been getting in the north east and you have a lethal cocktail brewing for posting tardiness. Albeit great source material for future story –arcs as well, so it’s not all bad.

However, I do want to add and stress that Podscape is just starting and there is a lot more to come. I am entirely committed to continuing and taking my modest strip to the next level, even if it means the eventual loss of my sanity and or physical health, whichever should go first (the smart money is on sanity to buy it in Q2.) But Podscape is going to continue, and there are plans to even fill in the missing weeks in the archive. Then when I’m back on track with the weekly posting and have a buffer to fall back on; Podscape the Podcast will go into production. To be followed by a series of short films that extends the Podscape narrative into different direction. Oh and in there somewhere there should be an old sk00l 2d platforming Podscape game in there somewhere. In fact you got a sneak peek of Xris in his 2d alter-ego in the Jan. 21^st strip.

It’s going to be a fun rollercoaster ride and I can’t wait to see you in the front car.
