It’s getting cold outside, not even the dog wants to go out freely anymore. And this is just the start of it because winter here gets COLD. I am talking about snot freezing in your nose cold. The polar bears are like “Nah man, I’m good. Fetch me a blanket, will you?” Our landlord has not turned on the heat yet, so every morning is like deciding if I am going to freeze to death or sleep until spring. Or that might just be me?
I have been reading comics since before I was even able to actually read. My parents often used to buy me a comic book just to keep me quiet. One of my earlier memories was looking through an old issue of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, making up my own stories to the pictures. So, I really did not read the comics, I just kinda looked at them. Nonetheless, I enjoyed them and still do.
One modern comic-strip I enjoy nowadays is Crabgrass by Tauhid Bondia (I really hope that I spelled that right). I first found it on Instagram and it gave me this old school, Peanuts or Calvin & Hobbes feelgood vibes. From what I can gather, Bondia is an indie webcomic artist and an all-around cool cat who deserves a shoutout. So check out Crabgrass comics on either Instagram or GoComics for some good laughs. 
This is my last day of vacation before going back to reality and being a stay at home dad and webcomic entrepreneur (sounds so much better than basement dweller).
Apart from going to the beach, racing gocarts with a brother-in-law and having fun with the kids, I managed to steal some time away to replay one of my favorite Playstation 3 games! Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction and also had my first playthrough of GTA IV: Lost & Damned.
All in all, a pretty great vacation, even with the social distancing and crazy pandemic. Until next week fellow freaks and geeks!
I got asked the other day as to why I double update about new pages? Well, I do have a nifty widget that takes you to the latest page, however, it does not show on smartphones. So that is why I have both a widget and a post update about new comics. And hey, if you like what you are reading, feel free to leave a nice comment or two 🙂
Working hard with revamping chapter 3. The new dialogue is coming along nicely and I think it fits the overall world of Curly better now.
Sometimes it is a challenge to know what to keep and what to change when working on an old comic like this. Adding more screentone and greyscales, changing the trees, and adding more detailed backgrounds helps lift the comic while keeping much of the old line art. It also gives me more time to sketch out the outline for the next chapter and work on a first draft.
The latest remade page from chapter 3, Stargazer is out now! 
If it is confusing that the comic is not bearing today’s date, it is because of the library. It uses a chronological method when putting the comics in order, so for chapter 3 to actually come third, I have to date the uploads between the last page of chapter 2 and first page of chapter 4. I hope this explanation clears up the confusion instead of making it worse. Which is always a possibility.
