A note on creativity, productivity, weather, and guilt:
A few months ago, when I really got into the swing of working on RELISH, I put the kibosh on posting color comics. They took too big a bite into my time that I should have spent working, and I compromised by allowing myself to be distracted enough to make a black-and-white "for fun" comic from time to time (usually drawn very gradually while I'm taking breaks from the script/pencil/scan/color work for the book). This week, the winter weather swept in and halted my will to work with a cold and malaise. Sometimes I need to follow my whims in making comics in order to get back on track, so I wanted to make a little color comic instead of doing the book pencils I had scheduled for this week, so I did.
But I felt plenty guilty about it!

The comics class I teach at a local elementary school starts up again, today. It'll be great to get to hang out with people of my emotional maturity level, again (3rd, 4th and 5th graders). We're gonna make so many comics!
