comics update
Russell has inspired me to post some updates on my comic's progress. I have been working pretty hard on this over the last few months, every time I'm not working on something more pressing, anyway! My current goal is to compile an anthology of short stories and get it printed in time for APE 2007. There are 4 stories total: one 18 pages, one 6 pages, one 4 pages, and one 2 pages. So far I have only worked on the 18 page one, a story called "Breeding Season", about my time spent working with elephant seals. Here are the current stats, and some in-progress pencils below:
pages mostly pencilled (all this story): 15
total pages in THIS story: 18
total pages in anthology: 30 (+2 endpapers)

The harem is so full of females at the peak of the season the alpha male has his hands full trying to ward off all the males trying to sneak in and mate on the edges. The two lower panels depict how females can choose to alert the alpha male to this violation of etiquette, or not ;)
