Wow, the year is flying by. I’ve been working on 2D animation in my spare time. Much more fun, in a way, than the 3D Suzi work I have been doing.

This has been one of the harder weeks I have faced in a long while. I posted an image on the blog called “Forgotten Goodbye”. This image was my gut reaction to the news that my mother had passed away. She had battled Alzheimer’s for five years, but now she has moved on to a place where there is no pain or loss.
In the image, I added a not so hidden message. You can’t really see it at the lower resolution I used for the blog post, so here is a close up. My Mom always did her best to make sure I had books in front of me.
She didn’t care what I was reading, as long as I was reading. I can’t tell you how that simple act has paid so many dividends in my life. You wouldn’t be reading this post now if not for her.
Thanks Mom, for encouraging me to reach for the stars.

This would normally be the last page of the book, but I am extending Issue 3 to 32 pages. We are seeing Suzi shift from reaction to action, and it’s going to be fun!

This issue is going to run 32 pages instead of the usual 28 I normally target. I am also getting Issue 2 rebuilt (I lost a few pages of the original files when I upgraded the hard drives on this machine). I am shooting for a special holiday edition comic that has issues 1-3, along with the first chapter of the Suzi novel. I am also going to throw in the long awaited decoder wheel and some games and pinups. The Super Size Suzi Spectacular #1 will be on sale in time for the holidays. Fun times are here!

I am getting back into playing more games, and so I am giving Neverwinter Nights a closer look. What games do you guys like? My kids are trying to get me into League of Legends, but I have been dragging my feet. Any thoughts for a n00b?

I am ramping up for a twice a week update schedule. We have 7 more pages in Issue 3, then on to Issue 4. Instead of taking a break between issues, I am going to try to finish Issue 4 by the end of the year. I want the entire 10 issue story to end in Dec 2015. An aggressive, but not impossible goal.

I am always thankful to my editor/letterer Lewaine for polishing up the pages before they are released into the wild! And as always, I am thankful for you stopping by to read the story.
