Alright, the last page of this arc is up. I’m done for a while…I can’t believe it took two months to do it. Thank you all so much for your support, your hits, and your links. I’m already contemplating the ways that I can come back. Schemes and ideas. So keep half an eye on the site, and follow me on Twitter and Deviant Art for my triumphant return.

I’m not putting a date on it, but wander in during the Summer and I’ll at least have some kind of update for you. Until then: Peace, love and everything else.

-Paoken’s Keeper

End update.

I guess I should just stop pussy-footing around it…I’ve been trying to deny it to myself for way too long.

But I’m done, for a while at least. I’ve got no time in my life right now for the comic, and as much as it pains me to say it, I need to hang up it up.

It’s been building for a while now. Since I started Book Two, I think. But I just don’t have the heart for it anymore. I love The PKF, but it needs to be put aside for a while so I can decide my next move.

See, I thought I’d be able to hire someone to work on the art for me, but the more I look into it the more I realize that for what I’d be offering, I’d be lucky to get a decent penciler. Which would leave me with inks/colors/post work (lettering, bubbles, etc.).

And I don’t think that I could even keep up with that. So I’d be doing a disservice to the artist, myself, and all of you.

Back when I started this comic I was a bored senior in high school who’s more strenuous activity was marathon gaming sessions with his friends.

Then it was college…and let’s all be honest here, the first two years of college are a joke. I mean, I barely had to work for anything other than an odd project here or there.

But the last two years it’s been work, studying, preparing for a career, finding a job that starts said career, and now trying to maintain that career and excel at it.

And now my living situation has changed (I’ve never been one to whine to you, so I won’t go into it), and I need to concentrate on saving every penny so that I can move out as soon as I can.

So the comic is getting taken off the burner officially.

I hardly have time to sit and relax, let alone force myself to do something that I no longer have a passion for.

And that’s just it, really. I’m sick of keeping a schedule, the only times I’ve really enjoyed drawing lately were when I was doing for giggles.

And that means I procrastinate working on the comic.

Worse, it means I put off doing things I WANT to do, like write.

See, I wasn’t lying about that. I still love to write. But I’m sick of drawing. I’m sick of watching my stories stagnate with a weekly (if I’m lucky) update.

So my illustrious twelve month plan is dead.

But I’ve got a new idea. Something vaguely crazy, but I think it will work out better for everyone.

I’m going to start work on a new story, a new comic. I’m going to prepare, and work, and write it. Then I’m going to find an artist, and pay them decently. And I’m going to publish it online.

It’s not The PKF, it’s something else. Something that I came up with five years ago, but ignored, but now I’ve got the angle.

I’ve got the idea right.

And I’m going to go for it.

I’ll tell you a little secret, when I started the PKF in 2005, I had no idea what I was doing. I had twenty or thirty stories written over a ten year period that I decided I was going to make into a comic.

Since then it’s expanded as I learned more and more about what I wanted my stories to be. But I’ve always been left with those early comics that I hadn’t planned out well enough, and they make my life hell.

But not this time. I’m going to have this new story totally planned out. And ready. So when it hits the intertubes I’ll know exactly where it’s going.

Sadly, this does mean I’m hanging up my PKF hat for the time being.

But, and here’s the honest to god truth, I’ve never stayed away from it for too long. The PKF has been around since I was seven years old, and this was the biggest, longest, period of my life that I consistently work on it.

It’s always been there, and will always be there.

And when I’m ready, The PKF will continue. Maybe with a time skip. Maybe from right here, right now.

But it will continue. You have my word.

Just…later.

As it stands, I’ll finish this arc (I’ve always hated with web-comics end midarc), but then I’m going on extended hiatus.

I won’t ask the few of you to keep checking in, that wouldn’t be fair, I don’t know when I’ll relaunch. But if you keep an eye on My Deviant Art, or My Twitter, I’ll keep you appraised and you won’t even have to check the site.

But if you do stick around, I’ll keep the blog updated from time to time, and maybe I’ll even post a picture or two.

I don’t know.

But for now, it’s goodbye.

Thanks for an amazing six years.

And all the fish.

Peace, love, and all the other good things,
Paoken’s Keeper

So much major stuff happened this arc it’s kind of insane to think about…but I guess that’s what happens when you’ve got eighty pages to cover everything.

Chris is gone…faded away, stolen, or just plain gone if you’d rather. Either way Tom is free from his snide comments and general hate. Though how Tom will fair without said distraction is yet to be revealed.

Well…since he bailed like a little bitch I guess something was revealed, right?

Either way Tom has opted to abandon his duties as The Peaceman and leave his life behind.

For how long?

I totally know. But you don’t. It could be forever. Or he might wise up and turn around in the next comic.

Maybe I’m just @#$%ing with you.

Maybe the Spiker actually hit him and the whole thing has been one big coma dream constructed by Chris so that he can gain access to Tom’s body.

…

Damn it, that would have been awesome…why didn’t I think of that before?

@#$%.

Anyhow, the chapter’s over…so it’s time for me to start thinking about the next one. Well, start thinking about drawing it, anyhow, since I’ve had it written for the better part of six months.

Like I’ve said, I’m going to finish out the next arc myself, then I’m (planning to) pick up an artist, in some capacity, to help me out and lessen the load.

This is all contingent on how much money I’m making next fall, but after looking at my budget I think I’ll be okay.

More on that later (maybe next week).

Either way, there won’t be any story comic updates in August as I try to get a buffer ready so I can go back to two pages a week in September.

So keep an eye here, I’ll have a full information dump sometime in the next few months.

-Peace

————————-

Three months on the 12th. That’s how long it’s been since I last posted a blog.

And for that I’m sorry.

I’ve been abusing my little ‘emergency message’ dealie at the top of the site, rather than sit down and type a cognizant piece of news. But my life’s been hectic and I haven’t really had much to say that couldn’t be summed up in a few choice sentences. But today…well…today’s a different story.

First, what likely lead you down here in the first place:

The site’s been ‘redesigned’ again. Brought back a few months to what I’ve called the ‘Starry Night’ design, this is, fundamentally, my favorite design. It’s funny, when I set out from comic genesis two years ago it wasn’t because I was unhappy with the site design, it was because I wanted to have a more ‘personal’ hosting of my site. I wanted a host I could control, one I could improve.

But somewhere along the line I became obsessed with the appearance of the site.

I mean, literally, it’s kind of sad how much time I’ve spent in front of this thing. Tweaking this, futzing with that. But this should be it. Really this time. Why? Because this is a child theme, attached to the core ComicPress theme.

Which, in layman’s terms, means that I can update ComicPress when the new version comes out without losing my layout. When I first switched to CP (ComicPress) it was version 2.5…since then it’s become 2.9. That’s, roughly, a major update every six months…with dozens (seriously) of minor updates between. For example, it’s technically version 2.9.2.26. And for a while I was updating almost every change. Sometimes because I had to, other’s because I just started it and got caught up in it.

That was a lot of HTML @#$%ing every year. And I started to focus more on the site, than the content…

Why did I do it? I don’t know. I don’t have an answer for why my mind works this way…I think I’m mildly OCD…I have to check the lock three-four times before I can leave the house. I’ve even driven back home ten minutes and check it because I didn’t feel like I had locked it.

It’s kind of a problem, actually.

In some ways I regret leaving Comic Genesis, because when I was there, there was so little I could mess with that I just didn’t give a shit. There was no personality in your page…not without some serious work. But CP…it opened up a whole new world of PHP and CSS and HTML that I got lost in it.

But it’s over now. The site is perfect. There’s nothing I want to change (save that the navigation needs to be centered…but that’s easy…I just want a ‘right’ way to do it).

I look at it and, for the first time in two years, I’m happy. I’m not going to stress the site. I just don’t have a reason to. Everything is the way I want it.

So, for the first time in two years I can walk away from it and really relax. There’s not going to be little bits of code dancing in my head. There’s not going to be me deciding to play with it as I’m working on comic pages.

I’m happy. It’s done. The site almost looks professional. On every browser (you’re welcome, Internet Explorer users -_-)

And when Book Three rolls around, and it will, I’ll just have to update the child theme with new images. But that’s a while off yet.

What I’m trying to say is, combined with school, work, and life in general, I’ve forgotten why I started this comic. I started it to tell a story that I’ve been writing since I was five years old. And in three months, I’ve hardly finished eight comics. I need to get back into the swing of things.

And for the first time, in over a year (since school started to really kick my ass) I feel like I can do that.

No, there won’t be a set of story comics on Friday. But there will be a short, that I promise you.

But I’m going to be trying new things out. New methods. New ideas. I’m going to try and start getting one page done a week again, and I’m going to try and keep it up.

Because for the first time in a long time, I feel like I can focus on the comic. Not the site.

Thank you, and I’m sorry for all the shit you’ve had to endure.

-Peace

Decided to take the plunge and just do it. There’ll be more said when I can think straight again. It’s not perfect yet, but the site is getting there.

/EDIT

So…I’m thinking of doing something a little…crazy. It’s no secret that I haven’t been updating on a regular basis.

Or a basis at all, really.

But lately I’ve been entirely too busy to try and update more than one page a week, and even that’s been shaky the last few weeks. So I’m thinking of updating each week with a ‘shorty’ comic like you see above, then updating every few weeks with a larger update of ‘main-story’ comics.

Basically, I’ve been really unhappy with the pacing as of late. It seems like you’re all waiting a week for a page that contains, at best, two seconds. Throw in the fact that there are a few comics coming up that really need to be together.

It’s hard to describe without spoiling something story-wise. But just look at the last few pages (from here to here), wouldn’t those five comics have read much better in a series, like they are in the archives?

And there’s only more ‘cliff hangers’ coming. And I think it’s bull-shit to make you guys wait for a week, or two, to see where the next punch lands and who gets throw into what.

So it’s an idea I’m tossing around.

Before you say anything, let me tell you a little about the ‘shorties’: Yes, they’re going to be in black and white. But not always. Sometimes they might be art, or a ‘special’ comic (holiday, special occasion, etc…). Most of them will be cannon…yes. This page actually happened as far as I’m concerned. But they might not always be cannon…some pages will be too absurd. I’m not going to stifle any ideas I might come up with just because they aren’t ‘feasible’ in the context of the comic.

They will ALMOST always be stand alone. One week = one joke/awww moment. But, on the VERY rare occasion they might have mini-arcs.

They also will fluctuate in size. This one only called for three panels. The next may need four, or five. They’re totally up in the air as for size and shade and color. Whatever the piece needs, it will get.

And, finally, they will be ways for me to expand on the characters and the world without spending massive amounts of time on them. I’ve always had a few ideas that I’ve really like, and wanted to do, but when faced with the staggering fact that the comic will never end unless I move the story along I’ve avoided a few ideas…that’s what the shorties are for.

Anyhow, let me know what you think. I’m probably going to start doing this, but if it sucks I’ll stop. Or if I find myself with more time and the ability to update more than once a week I may drop it. Unless it kicks ass…then…yeah.

-Peace

Panel One: The Food Court at Caesar’s Palace
Panel Two: Lion Exhibit at MGM Grand
Panel Three: Outside Bellagio, watching the water fountains…the real one is much more spectacular than I can reproduce.

Second, Sorry I failed at keeping my promise of ‘two plus pages a week’…that’s gone. Sorry. I’m pretty much in Defcon 5, which basically means ‘I’m going to get a page up every week. I hope’.

This was the first time in a MONTH that I’ve felt good about getting this comic done. Luckily this is the last of the huge panels…well…one more next week, but we’re going back to ‘normal’ grouping of fewer people in each panel, but each panel is more focused.

I’m still keeping the fewer panel layout though…it’s so much nicer. And I feel better working on it. This whole page has been great. In fact, this whole week has been prettying effing good, actually. Things are looking up, schools tapering off, and I’m feeling fine.

I still need to get more work. But I’m no longer desperate.

I’m not going to make any stupid promises that I doubt I can keep, but I know one thing for certian, I still love this comic and it’s not ending anytime soon. I keep saying that like I’m trying to convince myself, but I mean it. Pages like this remind me why I love this hobby and why I want to keep doing it. I mean, this was just such a fun page to work on. My goal is to find a way to make each and every page this much fun. It’s trickey, but if I’m not challenged I just don’t care. So I’m going to do my best to work harder and harder to get better.

Starting with hands. Seriously. They’re getting better (remember when they were basically hooks?), but I still need lots of work. So I’m going to practice, and work, and have fun. Because I do this to relax, and lately I haven’t been.

So, one page a week, lots of love put into each page, lots of love put into the scripts. That’s my new goal, and promise to each of you.

And when June hits and I’m free for Three whole months? Well…I promise to get a huge effing buffer and start putting out more pages a week. How many? My goal is three. That’s all. I don’t want to burn out. If I can get a good, solid, buffer, we’re going back to three a week and I hope to beable to sustain that well into next semester.

But right now. One a week.

-Peace

But they’re all fixed. Really. They’re cleaned up and proof-read to Hell and back. I know that they’re still not perfect, but without an editor (I’ve enlisted both my mother and grandmother) they’re as good as they’re going to get. So, if you read them already, you don’t have to go back and read them again, they’re not that different. But if you were one of those people who took one look at them and left, give them another try. I promise that they’re better.

Check them out. If you care to.

* * *

Second. I’ve finally changed hosts, yet again. I wont tell you who (I want to actually give them a few weeks before I say they’re good or not), but they have a good rating and they’re even cheaper than that massive pile that was Dreamhost. Never, EVER use Dreamhost. EVER.

But these new guys promise to be much better. And is it my imagination, or is the site moving faster? I think it’s moving faster. But I also removed some stuff that might have been bogging us down. But I’m happier. Much happier.

I’m saving something like $80 a year.

@#$% Dreamhost.

* * *

This also leads me into my next point: The site is done. I’m not @#$%ing with it anymore. After ComicPress 2.9 comes out (which I’m running a beta one) and I make the switch I’m done. I’m done until Book Three.

I spend entirely too much time messing with shit here and I need to stop.

So I’m done with the site unless something explodes. But that what I’m hoping this new host helps me with. That way I’m not coming and checking on the site ever two hours wondering ‘is it dead?’ and my buddy isn’t texting me every few days saying ‘hey, your site’s down’.

Seriously, @#$% Dreamhost and the @#$%ing horse they rode in on.

* * *

Now for the stuff that doesn’t really pertain to the site, but you might find enlightening (IE: I’m bitching, walk away now).

Oh, thank god this arc is over. I actually really enjoyed it but I think that I jumped into it too quickly after the massive beast that was Book Two, Chapter Four. I needed a longer break and I didn’t give myself one. That and I really need to start taking the week of Christmas off. If it wasn’t one thing it was the other.

That and I had orientation for my new job the day that my Grandmother flew in and I had to drive to the other end of town.

So that sucked.

I won’t bore you with the smelly details of my life, I try not to, despite the fact that this is a blog. But basically I’ve been busy and feeling a little stressed. So I’m taking this week off totally (I’m only doing comic related stuff if I feel like it) then next week I’ll get to work on building a good and proper buffer, then we’ll see where I go from there.

But I’m actually feeling much better already (I send of a slightly frazzled Email to my friend yesterday, and if you’re reading this I’m feeling much better, haha). I’ve rearranged my room, so I have a little more space (though my drawing table is closer to my computer than I’d have liked…) and I also picked up some aroma therapy smelly things (the first one who laughs dies. Eventually. At their convince. Of old age more than likely) and I’m doing some stretches (again, first to laugh dies at their earliest convenience).

I also tried a new way of working on the comic that seemed to work quite smoothly. Basically I start to feel rushed when presented with a totally blank canvas, and I get bored of doing the same thing for too long (inking, coloring, shading, etc…) so I tried to do something I haven’t done in a long while, I did each panel individually, then combined them on the page.

It only took me an two hours and felt quite natural.

So I’m going to try that for a while and see if it sticks.

Anyhow, enjoy your New Years and I hope your holidays kicked ass.

-Peace

Don’t worry, there are only ten updates planed (maybe eleven, I don’t remember at the moment). So if you hate it, it’ll be over quick.

OK Time for some explanations…

I’ve been going through a few crises of artistic faith, basically I thought that I would be able to work better and more productively at a drawing board, so I decided to get totally away from the computer except for coloring. This made sense for a few reason, but the big one is that when I’m sitting at the computer I have a tendency to wander away from my comic and start doing other things (like read other comics or browse forums). That’s not good.

But over the course of the last few weeks that I’ve been experimenting I’ve come to the conclusion that I really just don’t like the way that my inking looks when I do it physically. No matter what I tried it never quite looked right. So I’m back at the computer to do my inking with a few new resolutions:

1. Don’t sweat the small stuff: You guys won’t notice that a line went slightly askew or one line slightly overlaps an adjacent line once I shrink it down from 600 DPI to a more web-friendly number.

2. Control my self inflicted ADD: Twitter goes off. Photo-shop goes into full-screen (no distractions) and I’m not aloud to leave my chair until I’m done (save tinkle breaks, a man’s gotta pee, right?). I have laser focus when I want to, but other times I wander off…

3. No more than two ctrl-Zs per line: Some times I’d go over the same line a dozen times. If I @#$% it up twice I pull out the pen tool and do it right, and I stop my BITCHING (this also goes back to number one a lot of the time though).

4. Next time I take a week off to ‘get a buffer’ that’s all I’m doing: No more of this ‘spend a week messing with the site’ shit. The site needs to be a totally separate project to be done when I have nothing but free time. I need to stop messing with it when I should be working on the comic. Enough is enough.

So far I’ve been able to do well with this system. I’ve still got no buffer, but I’m working on it. I’ll let you all know how it goes.

The next thing that’s been keeping me from my duties is something more personal, which I don’t normally discus on the site, but I feel like I should. I’ve been to the Doctor a lot lately and he basically said “You’re 300 pounds and lazy, get off your fat ass and lose some weight or you’re going to die young.” So I’ve gotten off my ass and I’m down to 250 pounds. Now, I’m Six-feet-three-inches tall, so I was never ‘obese’ but my family has a history of high blood pressure and heart disease. So at twenty two and 300lbs I was basically pumping syrup though my veins.

Not Healthy.

So for the last few months (read: since updates got erratic) I’ve been going to the gym two days a week (three hours a time, give or take) as well as eating better. So I’m now less likely to drop dead. Luckily for me I’m not a naturally fat guy, hell, most people called me ‘scrawny’ when I was little. But between Junior High and High School I became less ‘run around and play’ centered and more ‘let’s watch TV and play video games’ centered.

So I’m trying to be better. And I have been. Fifty pounds is nothing to sneeze at (also, I have biceps now, which is cool…). But it cuts into my already slim personal time. Which is what those rules will hopefully help with (especially 4, I really spend too much time on the back-end and not enough on the comic). So wish me luck.

Next semester looks like it’ll be a TOTAL bitch too. So I’m going to try and get a serious buffer going this winter.

Thanks for listening, and at least I’m trying to be proactive in my troubles rather than just bitch to you lot about how hard my life is.

-Peace

(Goes off to work on scripts…)

This is such a small thing that I doubt anyone will care, but I was resisting it because I feel like I’ve been jerking you lot around lately and that’s not cool. Oddly enough my hits have remained pretty constant since my inability to get a proper update out on time has started, so you guys either love The PKF, or you’re just so used to it with other comics doing the same thing that you don’t even notice.

Either way I’ve been a crappy comic-artist and I need to get my shit together again.

One of my biggest complaints about the comic comes from when I’m behind (read: not ahead) in scripts…Now, I do scripts an odd way that I’m now trying to break myself of. Basically I draw a full ‘comic’ in pencil then scan it into the computer to ink it, however, I’m now trying to write SCRIPTS rather than draw them…So far I’m happy with it.

In fact, I’m so happy with them that I’m posting them along with the archiveds comic as the transcripts. If you remember, a few months back I started adding transcripts to each comic…Well, I stopped because I was basically rewriting each page so that you could ‘search’ it…It was stupid to me. But now, this seems like it’ll work perfectly.

You can read today’s script by going to it’s archive page HERE then scrolling down and clicking on the thing that says ‘transcript’ (might soon say ‘script’ if I decide to tackle the task).

Aside from that I’m two scripts ahead for this chapter and I’m  nearly done with the scripts for next chapter (started on those first). It’s shaping up to be a good thing that I’ve kind of dropped the ball. Now cross your fingers and hope I can actually pull ahead now.

Who knows, maybe we’ll be back to three a week by the end of the next chapter (only nine to ten comics long)? Wish me luck…

I swear, I think I’m back on track. I promise not to abuse you anymore.

If only you’ll stay. I know we can work this out.

I won’t hit you any more. I love you…

I LOVE YOU!!

>_> <_<

::Cough::

Anyhow, thanks for sticking with me.

-Peace

Hunter WILL return though. As soon as I get a little buffer going of The PKF, Hunter will return, with a PROPER schedule.

Anyhow, now that the depressing stuff’s out of the way! SUMMER FUN! Well..END OF SUMMER FUN!!

Either way, I’m AMAZINGLY happy with this picture. It’s just so damned good.

You can find the High-Res of the picture in my Deviant Art Page. AND for the first time EVER (for a Summer Fun pic, anyhow) you can get it in Wall-Paper size to adorn your computer! Check it out HERE with the rest of the Wall Papers.

The previous pictures can be found in Deviant Art Page: 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005.

I’d appologize for it being so late, but honestly I never really set a date for the picture to be done…But as long as it’s before the end of August I’m in good shape. Which today is the last day of! So I’m clear! I was actually done last week sometime, but I decided that I needed the filler today, so I held off on posting it.

Which brings me to my next bit of ‘bad’ news. Wednesday’s comic might be a little late, Or there could even be some kind of filler.

Short version of the troubles: I’ve basically got until Friday to finish all the stuff I have to do to become a Substitute teacher and if I don’t do it I’ll have to start the WHOLE process over again. That’s not happening, so I might need to put the comic on the back burner this week.

But, to be quite honest, last week was rather nuts with me trying to get this all done AND handle what I thought was going to be a devastating semester at school (It’s not going to be, I’ve got a handle on it now and it might be my lightest yet). But I NEED to get these papers into the CCSD’s office BY FRIDAY. So It’s a mad rush to the finish line.

Wish me luck, and enjoy the wallpaper.

-Peace

It’s damned good, isn’t it?

I spent most of Monday working on it and I spent most of Tuesday morning finishing it. And it shows. I also shrunk it by another 100px, which isn’t a lot, but I kind of like it. I’ll let you all know what I decide later about size.

My resolution to you guys is this: I’m going to do my best to do justice to this comic. I’m going to spend as much time and effort on each page as is necessary to give you the finest story and images as possible.

And God knows I’ll try.

Anyhow, COMICCON!

Met all my favorite Web-Comic folks. And they were all really, really nice people. Not an ass-hole in the group. The Zap! pair were awesome and were two of the nicest people I’ve met. I picked up the second book and gave them my fan-comic, which, like I said, they seemed legitimately happy to have. Pascalle (the artist) said they’d put it up on their site, so I don’t want to post it just yet. But if it’s not up in a week or two I’ll stick it up here. I’m not going to bug them about it, I was just happy to meet them.

I also went to the AppleGeeks’ meet and greet. It was cool meeting Hawk and Ananth, they were interesting to talk to. And a few people mauled Hawk for sketches, I didn’t bug him as he signed and sketched in my AG book the day before. But he could draw stuff in all of two seconds. Some one even had him draw a little Hawk on their Mac-Laptop…

From there I met Chris Daily and Aeire from Punch an’ Pie, I picked up their book and Chris did a fantastic drawing in it, I also picked up a ‘read’ poster…Which amuses me. And Randy Milholland from Something Positive was, despite what he’ll have you believe, an extremely cool guy. I picked up Super Stupor one and two, which he personalized.

Honestly, it was really, really cool to meet the people I’ve been following for five years. And once I got past my initial ‘oh dear god, I know these people’s work’ I’d like to think I didn’t make a total dick of my self.

Seriously, Zap’s Chris Layfield and Pascalle were the first people I met and I nearly fan-boyed on myself. It was quite embarrassing when the only thing you can think of is “I love your comic”. Which is a good place to start…but the ten seconds of awkward silence that follows isn’t exactly a winner. Haha. But I recovered damn it!

I also went to the Neil Gaiman panel on Coraline (I’ve been pronouncing his name wrong for years, apparently. It’s ‘Gay-man’ not ‘Guy-man’…oops.) and it was quite awesome listening to him speak. He’s a funny dude, I’ve gotta say.

I didn’t get a chance to shake his hand, but it was cool listening to his stories…Also, he’d like to see an American Gods Movie made. Which frightens me…But if they do it as well as Coraline, I’d be cool with it.

I also went to the ‘how to layout a page with panels’ panel with Jeff Smith…Who as you all know, is my favorite comic book guy ever. Seriously, I’ve re-read Bone more than I care to think about.

It was really inspiring to see how amazing he really was at drawing. He free-handed shit like you wouldn’t believe.

He drew and inked a whole comic in all of ten minuets. Holy @#$%.

I also saw the panel on ‘Batman, Arkham Asilum’ which honestly looks pretty awesome. But it’s still on my ‘rent’ list. Still I did see Batman and Joker…Well, their voices anyhow, which I grew up with:

So that was pretty cool. They were actually really funny, Hamil kept hitting on this one woman dressed as Harley Quinn…But slightly more…Slutty than the cartoon version. Haha

And the Watchman Panel was interesting…I didn’t stick around for the movie though. The trolleys stopped at 1am and the movie was shaping up to go until 2…Ah well. It was good enough to see the pre-show stuff.

There were two guys dressed as Rorschach who asked questions, they ended up dueling voices with the actor…Which was hilarious. The whole thing was quite awesome.

I’ve never been to a convention before, so this was a hell of a place to start. I had fun…I don’t know if I’ll be doing it again next year…But who knows.

Maybe I’ll have a booth an you guys can come visit me.

Well…I can dream, can’t I?

(HOLY SHIT this was a long post. Sorry…But I figure a con-report has to be a little long.)
