"A bad month..." Friday April 27th, 2007

Not only am I late, but it's filler. I apologize. It's been somewhat of a rough month for me and I had been doing well till pretty much this week. The sad thing is the next comic is about 60% done, but I could not work on it at all. I switched gears and did the only thing that my hand would allow me to draw. This was a sketch I had drawn some time ago, but I figured I could at least try and get it colored and have something up for you all. I suppose it's only natural that most fans of Harry Potter who also draw a webcomic, attempt to draw their characters in the Potter-verse. It was a tough choice picking which schools the three characters shown would be in. Joe was hardest really because not only is his element not represented in a Hogwarts school, he kind of fits three different schools. I stuck him in Ravenclaw since I used the other two with Key and Yuki. Key could have gone with Hufflepuff or Gryffindor, but her element and true nature made me pick the latter. Yuki could also have fit in Gryffindor or Slytherin. He lacked the ambitious requirement, but his craftiness, cunning, and ability to save his own hide countless times are all traits coveted by Salazar Slytherin.

Again I am sorry about the filler. I just have a lot going through me head right now. There has been something I never really resolved and so right now, I am attempting to reason it out in my head without going insane about it. So it flips back and forth between feeling good and feeling pretty horrible. I'm a pretty good upswing right now so I charged right through the work in getting the filler done in record time. So the fact that I am able to get something out also makes me feel rather better. I don't know how long it will take me to get an answer to the question I am asking myself right now, but at least I am taking a step towards figuring it out. Wait... now it sounds like I am emulating Ippo... ah well. I suppose if there was any manga character I would like to take after it would be Ippo. At any rate, I'm working on my own problems just like everyone else does theirs.

I would also like to say that unlike my previous statements, not ALL girls are evil. Not that this helps my situation at all, but I would like to think that eventually such a belief will be somewhat helpful.

PS- Does anybody else think the "new" Cupid's Chokehold" by Gym Class Heroes sucks compared to the older version? I'm not one that is against a high production value, but it just feels so over-produced. I mean just having the added 'girlfriend' in the chorus feels over the top. Plus the new video is horrendous compared to the old one. The new one seems so dumbed down like you need the video to literally tell the story of the song. The older one seems so much more different and it's definitely funnier. Eh.... don't mind me, I just needed to rant about that for a second.
