This has been a bad week and the coming week isn't looking too great, either. Sarah was sick, then I got sick, and I've started therapy so a lot of garbage is falling out of my head while I'm dealing with some severe depression, and the car is still not safe to drive but I have important errands I have to run and the mass transit out here sucks and I'm late on my end of a script and it's holding up everyone and I'm stressed out/intimidated by the project which keeps me awake all night and the cat tore my hand up last night because she's a stinker and my drawing hand is a mess from drawing and my back and neck spasms are out of control and I have to keep pushing back a meeting which is causing me anxiety and I feel extra-down because Beasts of Burden sales have tumbled because of the nine-year gap between releasing collections and that was my only profitable project but we put out good stuff this past year and more of it and and I definitely feel like I've dropped off the radar in comics with readers, comics websites and publishers (some of whom I'm okay with not dealing with, but, still, the phone used to ring) and am exhausted from hustling and selling and worrying and feeling old and useless and of course there's stuff I can't even talk about and on Saturday I fly out to Columbus for Tom Spurgeon's memorial and that's already killing me and I can't find the missing button to my 20-yr old coat and I only have the one suit which is so old I had it when I first met Tom fer chrissakes and oh, well, what the hell, I guess I'll get to see what crying in Ohio is like this weekend, I'd say having old clothes is the least of my worries. 

Anyway, here's two Fun Strips from the recent Heavy Metal humor special, Soft Wood. I worry I don't post enough here. And I want to post new stuff, but these days it's harder to do that with NDA's and comic book PR cycles. 

Egads.  What I meant to post was, "Busy week, be back soon".

Back to the script stuff. Be back soon.

By some strange terrible circumstances I'll be traveling from a funeral in Detroit back to NJ over the weekend. I didn't think I was going to be able to make it to Tom's memorial, but Columbus is just a quick detour....

Hope it starts to turn around soon. Dont worry about not posting enough.

Erik C. Jones

I think you're posting enough. Hoping things turn around for you. Beasts Of Burden sells well at my shop, and I'll keep pushing whatever you do. Sending you good vibes, Evan.

Ivan Cockrum

Yeah, it's plenty of posting for me. Another artist I follow, I don't think has posted since I followed her. (But hopefully she's putting that time into her next book.) Times they are a tough and you gotta take care of self.

Sending Good Vibes to you and Sarah chap! Get well.

Jason Warzecha

You post enough. Feeling sad is hard. You are not alone and just know that your work spreads joy.

Rodrigo V.

I'd be happy to get less posts if it means you get to take care of yourself a bit more. Good vibes your way.

Dragon Messmer

You rule! Things will resolve. Sorry it's been so hard.

The shitty weather really doesn't help when things pile up like this. I agree with Jason above, you post plenty of great stuff here! Sending the best to you and Sarah.

I also wanted to add that my niece really enjoyed Blackwood, and when I told her there was more coming she got excited.

"You smell like a fucked horse" made me laugh out loud. I'm sorry you're dealing with so much. I hope it gets better soon.

I can't speak for everyone, but I support this Patreon to ultimately support you, not cause you more stress. You post plenty, and most importantly, what you post has value. Please don't stress the posts, look after yourself first. We got your back.

And if you're like me, reading a comment like this might make you feel worse. It's rough.
