YHT in 2008: Is the Strip Gonna Suck, Now? . . .
A handful of people have asked or made comments about how the three-day-a-week schedule will affect storylines and continuity. To be honest, I was wondering that myself. But last night I sat down with my notebook to do some writing, and I got into a "zone" so to speak. The ideas were flowing like the wine in Capastrano . . . or something.
Anyway, for those of you who are wondering, the first three months of 2008 will be mostly stories, including one HUGE storyline that I can't wait to start drawing! I think there are only a handful of stand-alone gags, and I threw those in there just to break up the continuity a little bit.
A lot of you have said that you prefer the longer storylines as opposed to the gag-a-day format, so hopefully you'll be relieved that the three-day-a-week schedule won't derail my attempts at continuity. I still work very hard to make sure each strip stands on its own, so don't worry all you "gag-a-dayers" out there - there will still be plenty of funny stuff to print out and hang on your refrigerator!
YHT Newsletter . . .
I've been beating around the bush on this idea for a while now, and it's time to just do it. I'm starting up a monthly YHT newsletter that will contain a lot of the info that we talk about in the blog here, but will also contain some behind-the-scenes info, contests, and updates on future projects (I told you that 2008 is the year I start working on some new stuff, and I'm not lyin').
So if you'd like to sign up for the newsletter, just shoot me an e-mail (wesmolebash@gmail.com) and let me know. No need to write me a long e-mail - just tell me you want to subscribe to the newsletter. It's as easy as that.
The first newsletter will go out in January.
No More Commissions Until 2008! . . .
I've finally caught up on all my commissions for the year, and I'm not taking anymore commission work until 2008! I'm spending the next two weeks getting caught up on YHT, and then I'm going to Michigan to enjoy Christmas with my in-laws. If I take anymore commissions there's no way I could get them done by Christmas.
Thanks to everyone who bought commissions from me over the past few months. I've pretty much got all the money I need to buy my new iMac! What an awesome feeling to know I'm about to buy my first Mac entirely with money I earned from cartooning! It's very satisfying! You guys made it happen, and I'm very grateful to you all!
Thanks again!

Hey, just wanted to say I'm glad to see you consistently drawing the character's eyes with a white circle and dot in the middle now. At first I preferred the original version with just the dot eyes, but this has really grown on me and really gives them a wider range of expressions. I'm hoping you'll stick to just drawing them all this way now, as I think the transition of dots to eyes is a little jarring from panel-to-panel. Just my opinion on the matter. Keep up the good work!
