My apologies&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>First off\u2026 let me<strong> thank you<\/strong> all for coming back after such a long period away! It makes my heart go all squishy and inky. You guys are awesome! \u2026 and <strong>I can&#8217;t help feeling that I have the best fan base on the planet!!!!\u00a0<\/strong>I will still address you all as Squiddies. R&amp;R-ers\u2026 gets hung up on that last &#8220;r&#8221;\u2026<\/p>\n<p>It has been a strange few months. To pull yourself out of your routine, the thing that you love, and plop yourself intro something different, for the sake of keeping things fresh and interesting. Change is a funny beast. At times, I&#8217;ve felt sad that I&#8217;m not <em>Squid Row<\/em>ing\u2026 at other times\u2026 I&#8217;m elated with the new digs. However, I&#8217;ve concluded that I don&#8217;t want to close the book on<em> Squid Row<\/em>\u00a0at all. I won&#8217;t say more than that, just that I can&#8217;t help but feel that THAT show ain&#8217;t over.<\/p>\n<p>ANYWAYS\u2026 <strong>Randie and Ryan!<\/strong> I&#8217;m ever so pleased that many of you like the new format. It seems an easier format to write in\u2026 in that I have more room for dialogue and space to draw. You will see me really playing with space and drawing STUFF more in the coming toons. Also, too\u2026 I am working in a new medium and I&#8217;m learning along the way. As I look over the toons in their finished-ness\u2026 there are some I would do differently now\u2026 but chalk that up for learning, yah?<\/p>\n<p>And please allow me to plug my <strong>Patreon<\/strong> page once again. If you dig what you see here in the weeks ahead, please consider supporting me on that awesome site! It comes with extras, too!
