Ok, so it took me two weeks, (and one day,) but the latest issue is finally up. It's a double parter too and we finally get to find out what type of animal Alex is.
It would have gone up last night, but for the fact that it was the birthday of an old housemate of mine. I sent him a text to wish him happy birthday as he now lives up north, only to find out he was actually back for the weekend, so drinks were in order. After an evening of drinking, I got home after 1am, slightly worse for wear and decided it was probably best if I didn't work on the comic in that state.
My last post was one of my philosophical ones, albeit with a slightly negative slant, which was brought on by a bad case of the blues, which itself was brought on by my current situation.
Anyway, I'm feeling slightly better and doing the comic had a lot to do with that as I find it really satisfying to complete a strip and see it go up online.
I'm definitely going to carry on with the comic, because there are so many benefits to it: a sense of pride that I get from completing a strip as well as from being proud of sticking with it, the peace I get while drawing it and many others. Really the only downside to drawing the strip is that during inking, my elbows seize up and I have to take regular breaks to unlock them, but it's a small price to pay.
Otherwise, I'm still busy at work and trying to reassemble some form of social life in the wake of my returning to singledom. I'm going back to my martial arts class this week, (missed that for a couple of weeks too,) I've started to lose weight again and generally things are looking like they have an upward vector, even if the gradient isn't too taxing just yet.
Umm... I guess that's it for now. Enjoy the double issue (unless you're Sam, in which case you won't be reading it, but you will be reading this. Hi Sam.).
Bye.

About Me
- Narshada
- Hi I'm Mike and I'll be your guide for this short tour of me. If you look left, you should see a 32 year old guy with a pragmatic approach to life but feels he's not as stoic as he would like and thinks he should shut up more often - That's me. As we continue you may note that the eyelashes are longer than you would expect for a guy. After extensive research, we have concluded that this is of no historical significance. Moving on, you should see a burning desire to create, offset by lack of motivation, but the fire is kept pretty well stoked with an almost constant output of wry, irreverent and surreal humour, philosophical thought, and the odd self righteous rant. Favoured methods of expression of these conversations with the Muse include, drawing, 3D art, writing and dance, usually when drunk or when washing up whilst listening to music. The structure is now starting to show signs of age; notice the grey creeping into the goatee beard, and the hair creeping off the head; these are recent developments, we think in the last ten years or so. We hope you enjoyed this tour, please tell your friends and if you would like to leave a small donation on the way out, it is appreciated.
