While being self-employed is obviously a. a bed of roses and b. a bowl of cherries, in order to take a week off, you have to do all the work for that week in advance. Or rather, if you are obsessively contientious, you do it all in advance. For this reason, in anticipation of eight days spent mostly scratching my back-side in the land of the free, I am trying to get a lot done. I realised this afternoon that I hadn't spent any time with an actual human being since last Thursday evening (going to the shop doesn't count, going to the garage doesn't count, going to Allied Carpets doesn't count).

Assume the Edvard Munch "Scream" position, I think I might be going mad. Pretty soon, I'll be like Cartilage Head, dancing a Cab Calloway routine of silent despair.

Assume the missing/stolen position.

How can you work ahead so far? Where do you find the time in a day that I've gathered by reading your blog is pretty much full?

Hal, I just have to knuckle down and work some long and moderately painful days. Just wait until you read my guide to creating Scary Go Round using Adobe Illustrator. It starts well, and swiftly becomes so unhinged that I might as well not have bothered. I think people are going to like it! (Runs 26/9 - 30/9)

A "how does Johnny do it?" guide? I'm intrigued...

I find it rather ironic that you're going to be posting a how-to-do using Illustrator, when you've now chosen to do the comic by hand. Im still looking forward to it, mind you, but I find it ironic nonetheless.
