I have to apologize for being so quiet lately, ladies and gentlemen, and I really wish I had some cool new art to show off. But as is usual for about this time of year, I'm extremely busy in the shop, both with customer work and the either Sisyphean or Quixotic (take your pick, they both fit) task of trying to catch up on some of my own waaaay-overdue projects.

If those of you who are mechanically inclined might be interested in seeing the progress on some of those projects, I have the top ones posted over on the Tinker's Guild (which is also the de facto TWB discussion board) under the headings "Summer Projects"- there's currently 12 of them. :)

I did like how this book sketch if Miki came out, so I'll see if I can squeeze in the time to clean it up and color it for ya.

Also, I'd like to hear suggestions for two things:

One, I do feel I owe you all some good art, so let me know who you'd like to see in high resolution, and what he or she should be doing. :)

And two, I'd planned on sticking with the "gag a day" type comics for a while longer, getting back to the good old days, as it were, before easing back into longer storylines again probably come fall or the holidays.

Which would you prefer, the gag-a-day, or back to the more linear storylines.

Thank you, I appreciate your patience and your generosity, and thank you again for reading! :)

Doc.

I like all kinds of content, both long and short storylines and single-shot gags. So I hope to see more of all of those. And I vote for showing Jinx, having his first own tinkering accident.

PS - love Miki's pose above - "Stupid FireDogs - I'm here and all they want is COFFEE!!!"

a run of gag's are quit acceptable while building a story line. cheesecake is welcome, but would have to quit reading at work during lunch if the comic itself got any actual NSFW

I enjoy the daily gags, because there are days when a punch line is all you need. The story lines are where the characters develop and gain the attributes that make the dailies work. So, steady as she goes.

Wild Card

Daily gags are fine. You can even do a 2 day long gag, like the first two strips with the creation of the coffeemaker on wheels then the strip after it, things could have been left there.

I'm fine with the comic as is, personally i'd like to see the Sandy on satin picture finished.

Givwn how often we see Jinx with his nose in a book, it might be entertaining to see him at the library, checking out a fresh stack of books and completely missing the fact that he's in the Unseen University's library, with the Librarian behind the desk. I want to see your take on an orangutan in a wizard robe, Doc. *grin* And that probably answers your 'gag a day' idea, too...

I like the plot driven stuff personally. The gags are fun but can be over done in my opinion. Art wise whatever gets the creative juices flowing I suppose. Would be interesting to see some blue prints of docs inventions

Storyline for the comic, hands down. It's why I love the comic. I love seeing glimpses of everyday life, and the fleshing out of the characters. It's also what makes the NSFW art so appealing, the girls aren't some randoms drawn for their own sake. They feel more 'real'. It's like the beautiful girl you know at the office decided to pose for Playboy or Maxim. I definitely second the Sandy on silk idea. I would really like to see more NSFW art, especially in the style of the Pirta pinup and the Sandy on silk. Your art in that style is greatly improving, and I for one would welcome the opportunity to enjoy regular examples of it.

A gag a day keeps the sanity away and the coffee pot nigh but empty, yet full.

Honestly its up to you doc. When you have a story line set up, then follow your story till its done, but if all you have time and inspiration for is the gags, then do the gags. We will always be here for you and the comic. We all love however you choose to do things. If you need a break for a while then take your break and come back fresh and new. If you have time, i Recommend watching Nostalgia Critic's : The Review Must Go On. It gives a little insight into how a man was burned out and needed a break from his biggest project and came back to it refreshed after a break period. We will all be here to read the comic No matter how you choose to do things. We just don't want to see you burn out. We love ya Doc.
