Wow, already again ?!According to the "What's so special about today?" section on Probeersel, it's been three years since I launched the short story "Chalk" and started the The Artificial Real story collection. Since then, I've only added "Rock". I guess it's high time I free my hands and at least launch another chapter (I've got several of them semi-written down) to at least make it appear like there's some regularity in the updates on this series. Shame on me !
Ten years earlier than that, though, the first Bone album was published - some time in July. That makes for 13 years of time that this series has ran, and just today I read an announcement over at BoneVille that shipping of the ninth and final album, both hard- and softcover, will start some time this month (July). 9 Albums in 13 Years. At least TAR isn't going at THAT pace yet - I'll give Jeff Smith credit for launching the 'Rose' miniseries as well as the Big Johnson Bone book in the meantime, though. That guy is one mean comicdrawing machine and I can't wait to get the series complete. René out.

Plagiarism is bad

Rene tells me this is really limited as far as readership is concerned, and I am fully aware of this, but I believe in spreading the word and all that "aware" shit. Also I am very fond of this cartoonist and hate to see a big corporate dickhole exploit that which is not his. So tell your friends. If you haven't heard of this already, here's the deal. Cartoonist Shmorky of Purple Pussy and Something Awful found out a few days ago that Todd "Goliath" has taken a panel from Purple Pussy, recreated it, and placed it on display in a major art gallery claiming it as his own. Legal action is being pursued, and the major opinion is that this hack of David and Goliath T-shirt fame has gone too far in his self-absorbed opinion that, just because he found this image online, nobody would EVER know. Fuck you, mister. For more info, check out Retro Crush . Oh, and be on the lookout for some Penguism!

We have 15 members now. FIFTEEN members ! And 34 comics. And over five hundred unique readers average per day. Wowsah. When I started this site four years ago, I figured we'd get a group of five or six or so artists together and perhaps a few comics. It's all grown so damn big, it's hard to believe. Which makes this very hard for me to write. Because I've always loved the whole Probeersel.com project dearly and I love that it's fairly successful. But I may need to quit. Between Probeersel.com and ClickBurg I'm getting way too busy with everything and I'm more and more exhausted these days. I love every minute of it because both projects really have a heart AND a whole lot of people eagerly supporting it, but I'm really getting overworked. And I want to know that I'm getting overworked for a reason. If not, I may have to consider pulling the plug on some activities and projects, for the sake of my own sanity and wallet. And focus on my comics themselv

advice?

By -
Hey fellow probeerselers... I was wondering if anyone could give a fellow comic artist some advice in dealing with artist/writer's block. It's been months since I last worked on Milk, Sex, & Cookies and I just haven't been feeling the motivation or inspiration during all this time. I will admit I get ideas for other comics, but none relating to MS&C. What doesn't help either is I moved a few months ago and still don't have everything I use to make MS&C come to life - ie. my computer (using bf's laptop), drawing supplies and a scanner. About the only thing I have are the prelimenary sketches and 8x10 copies of the final pages. Any advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
