"More Moving craziness" Thursday May 1st 2008

Okay this is going to be quick because this is one of those times when I needed to get to bed an hour or so ago. First off the comic... I enjoyed writing this one. I rewrote the script a few times. I cut it down from the original because it was way too wordy. Then I had to reword it a bit to give the same impact as the non cut version. Then I just wasn't happy with the middle part because I couldn't get the emotion right for Key. She's trying to be strong, but at the same time she kind gets a slight intuition that Yuki might be rejecting her. So even though she was ready to be over him, she is scared or doesn't want to hear Yuki say that he doesn't like her. Up to now, Key's been kind of a very nice and very giving person, but now you can see some more of the insecurities she keeps bottled up inside.

The end of this comic also took a rewrite. The original script had Joe arriving earlier in the comic and after seeing Yuki and Key embracing immediately goes into beat down mode. For some reason when it came time to draw the comic, I couldn't picture the sequence. However that's when I got the image of Joe standing in the rain and I had to use it. It doesn't have the same impact, but it seemed to fit Joe's personality more on what he would do.

Okay now a short blurb of this crazy week. I ended up moving into a bigger room in my house. It took all week, but I'm finally moved over. The bad part was that it really made me late on my comic schedule. I'd say about a day or two late. So hence this shortened post. Just wanted to mention that I'm probably going to go check out the Japanese Festival at the Bronx Botanical Garden this weekend. Hopefully it kicks ass. The weather hasn't been the greatest here and my hope is that it stays dry and that there are still cherry blossoms in bloom.

Anyway I hope you all have a great weekend as well and I will see you all back next week.

River's On Notice List
1. LA Dodgers (F you Joe Torre and the rest of your puppy killing line up.)
2. The Root of All Evil (This show really pisses me off. To try and argue that Tila Tequila is the root of all evil compared to a dangerous mad man like Kim Jong Il, is dimwitted at best and offensive and insulting at worst. I don't care that Lewis Black ruled in favor of Kim Jong Il... anyone in their right mind should go that way lest they insult all the people that faced torture, kidnapping, and worse at the hands of this crazy SOB. Who the F is Tila Tequila?! [That was a rhetorical question].)
3. Lack of Sleep (F you moving)
4. An umpire who acknowledges a Time Out call, but then still calls a balk. (F the guy who cost Timmy Franchise his last game with a crap call.)
5. Barry Zito (I am one of the few Giants fans that had been very lenient about Zito, however his last start made me want to Robert DeNiro from 'The Fan' his ass.)
