| OLD SCHOOL
					     
					    Comic Updated August 25, 2008
					     
					    A reasonably old school. First half of
					    the twentieth century. And I'm heading to it, today -- that's right, first
					    day o' school for Flash Norman, all-American. Incidentally, this semester
					    I've scheduled a web design class, so... who knows, maybe this place will
					    look better eventually (actually, I'm pretty happy with the design, now --
					    just need to get the rest of the site in line. Super-secret web elves, we'll
					    likely be starting that soon!).
					     
					    In comic news, "The Survivors" nears its roaring
					    conclusion with a plot twist worthy of an old episode of "Star
					    Trek!" It would probably have had greater narrative impact if I'd bothered
					    to allude to the Great Bear God earlier in the comic, but that's what you
					    get when you deal with me.
					     
					    Spontaneity. Think of it like
					    that.
					     
					    In other comic news, the end of "The
					    Survivors" means that we'll be seeing the start of a new comic, next
					    week! You will, of course, need to stay tuned. And now, for those interested
					    in keeping tabs, here's a rundown on (almost) everything comic-related I'm
					    currently working on:
					     
					    -A brand-new Captain Manly comic (for those
					    who don't know the good Captain, he's pictured in the header of this page
					    wearing a mug on his head, and one of his early adventures will be the very
					    next comic made available exclusively in the E-Comic store)!
					     
					    -"BIOSNARK," a parody of the very good,
					    yet very open-to-parody video game, "Bioshock."
					     
					    -An "Otters" special Halloween
					    presentation.
					     
					    -Hsu and Chan issue 9 -- the ultimate
					    conclusion of "Tourists, Trapped!"
					     
					    In addition, I'm working on a very secret comic
					    project that you may or may not ever get the chance to hear about -- it'll
					    be significant if you do!
					     
					    And, my shiny, new editor Sam Kennedy is estimating
					    that the new Hsu and Chan strips will begin running on 1up.com in
					    late September! Something to look forward to!
					     
					    Incidentally, it may be a good time to mention
					    that, with the fairly enormous amount of work being created, I'm going to
					    be on the lookout for some artistic types to act as art assistants -- shading
					    and coloring and MAYBE some inks here and there. If you've got Photoshop,
					    a pressure-sensitive tablet, and a desire to get your name in the credits
					    while making incredibly miniscule amounts of cash, -- seriously, we're talking
					    INTERN levels here, and THEY routinely get paid in donuts -- gimme a yell.
