This week's voter bonus comic is up, so click the TWC button and confirm your vote to see it.

That aside, I don't have much to say. I haven't gotten a chance to rebuild my PV strip buffer yet, though I'll hopefully be able to make a bit of progress over the weekend. For those of you wondering about the commentary and mystery bonus I owe you guys, don't worry, they're coming. But I may not have much time to work on them until the comic returns to its normal update schedule at the start of June. PV aside, I'm throwing myself into that new story and work is progressing on Aurora's Nightmare as well (if I remember, I'll post a new piece of art or two next week).

Well, I really should get going. We've got one more week of Mon - Fri updates coming up so I'll see you then!

I've been getting a lot done this week. Unfortunately, that doesn't really include Pebble Version strips. I only just got this one finished in time for today's updated. So I don't really have time to write much of anything right now.

Later!

Well, my summer plans are finally coming together. There's still a couple things that could potentially derail them but that's really always the case. I mean, you never know where there could be a big natural disaster or something. I've just couple a couple of less exciting possibilities as well.
That aside, here's what I'll be doing if all goes according to plan. First, I'll be here in Colorado for two more weeks. Then I'm going with my family to Los Angeles. Not entirely sure what, if anything, I'm going to do in LA itself (my dad and brother are going for a conference), but we're stopping at Vegas on the way, so I'm taking advance of that to go to a Cirque du Soleil show.
Anyway, that trip is about a week and then I'm flying out of LA to...Tokyo! Yep, I'm going back to Japan, though this time it's mostly for a vacation, rather than a full on job. I'm making it a working vacation though, like my trip to Hawaii last summer. In other words, I'll be dividing up my time between working on my various projects (that story for SOE, Aurora's Nightmare, the summer classes I'm teaching, etc.) and having fun in Japan. So I won't be out touring all the time, but hey, it worked well in Hawaii and I got to do a ton of stuff on my previous Japan trips when I was only free on weekends and holidays, so there should be plenty of time for fun. I'm going to be based in Tokyo, but there's a lot of places I can get from there in a day. Plus, I've also got at least a couple of overnight trips planned and I'm thinking I'll get in one longer excursion (probably a week or so) to areas I haven't been. Hopefully I can hang out with some friends as well. Naturally, I'll do a travelogue so you guys will be able to read all about it.
I'll be in Japan just about five weeks, and then it's back Colorado for another three weeks, followed by a brief trip to New Mexico for a friend's wedding. Summer break will be almost over at that point, so it'll be time to head back to Florida. Though, if I can find decent flights, I may be stopping in Baltimore for a few days on the way to attend Otakon.
I had originally considered working Hawaii in as well, but I wanted to spend a bit more time in Colorado and I've been to Hawaii a lot lately so I opted to just go to Japan instead. Besides, it's cheaper only doing one destination (though, if money was my only concern, Hawaii would have been a much cheaper trip than Tokyo). My dad was thinking of going to Japan with me this summer as well, which would have been fun. Unfortunately, he's staying behind due to some health issues (he should be fine, but doesn't want to go on such a long trip until he's sure completely recovered). But I've had plenty of fun on my own in Japan before and I can do it again. I've also got a number of friends over there who I can hopefully meet up with. All in all, it's looking like a pretty awesome summer.
