When I’m writing love, I write Han and Leia. Just happens.
“I love you.”
“I know.”
That’s not Lucas. That’s the chemistry between Carrie Fisher’s Leia and Harrison Ford’s Han. Lucas didn’t write it. Harrison just said it on one take and it ended up working the best. Because it’s true. Leia loves Han because he’s Han. He’s Han because he’s a good guy at heart, and loyal to a fault, but he’ll always smirk and give you a little jibe to remind you who shot first. (hint: not Greedo) And behind that “I know,” is the knowledge that this is a woman who will call him on being ‘scruffy looking,’ and then go on to strangle a Hutt while wearing a gold bikini.
Or something like that.
Point is, folks, love isn’t war, of any variety (including the star kind). Love is fun. Ask my wife.
Just don’t call her a nerd. She’s a geek. Like me.

So, I had these plans of getting a backlog of strips and goodies together so that when I left for Ukraine, I’d not be leaving you in the lurch, without cloud, nor bird, nor surly balloon. And at the very least I’d not be leaving you hanging on a storyline for two weeks because I’d have finished the arc.
Ha.
All of these things hinged on the planets aligning, I guess because none of that happened. Instead, I painted two exterior walls of my new house, and I packed and packed, and then packed some more.
OH! and I painted more house.
I apologize profusely and promise that when we get back from our Ukraine trip, I’ll be able to focus more and draw more, and by fall, I’ll be putting out more toys and other goodies. Really sorry, folks. I know you know this is not my day-job, but that doesn’t mean that I feel it’s less important. I’m just living, and learning.
More to come after August 11th.
Much love and fluffy clouds,

I’ll be posting Monday’s comic tonight. Seeming like I should just change my updating to Tuesdays and Fridays. The weekend is the main time for me to work on the house, so I’m not getting much else done at the moment. Anyhoo, expect the new comic sometime tonight.
Also, an interview with me was just posted by Greg Sitkowski, on his ezine over at Laughingiron.com
Go check it out, and read things you never knew you wanted to know about me. Or maybe you knew, but you secretly didn’t want to tell anyone you knew, because if everyone knew, they’d know you knew more than you were letting on.
