This EMPIRE

Pardon my absence last week.  This week features another sketch from the weekly Raleigh Sketch Jam. The next strip is ready to go, but I wanted to get the last 2 strips (I think two more should do it) done for the story arc, “Worlds Collide” completed to wrap it without any more breaks.  It was a bad spot to go on unintended hiatus of some sorts; I got first wind of this from one reader.  No, that wasn’t a slight to one’s criticism, I appreciated the concern. Really, working on this comic I should foremost be professional about it;  timely updates, good writing / good art. If I am not doing it, call me out.  But be gentle, I tend to bruise easily 🙂

Random notes:

No I am not going to be there as an exhibitor, or even a quirky fan boy running around looking for swag. If you get a chance to make it, I hope you enjoy this awesome event.
