Post-Holiday Updates

iMaccin' . . .

This is my first blog post written on my brand new Apple iMac. I'm very tickled with this new computer, but I'm still figuring out a lot of stuff. I downloaded Quicksilver because a few people told me that it was an outstanding program, but I'm still not sure what it does exactly. I'll figure it out, though.

This is my first Apple computer (I don't count my wife's MacBook because, technically, that's not MY computer), so it may take me a little while to get acclimated to the way the Mac OS works. I'm up for the challenge, though!

Here's a picture I took of myself using PhotoBooth, a fun Mac diversion:

That's not my office in the background. My wife and I are staying in my brother-in-law's room while we're here in Michigan. I feel bad because his room is currently littered with our clean and dirty clothes, a pile of unwrapped gifts, and other miscellaneous junk. Sorry, Dallas. We'll be outta here soon.

Quick Reminder . . .

Just a quick reminder that YHT will return to a three-day-a-week schedule starting Monday, Dec. 31. The site was down for a few days, and I just wanted to remind everyone that the lack of five comic strips next week is intentional and has nothing to do with domain names and DNS servers. :)

Friday Freeze Tag!

Today's Strip

Two-In-One . . .

To make up for the lack of comicky goodness yesterday, I've posted both Thursday's and Friday's strip together. I've squashed the two strips into one giant, grand-slam comic strip for your holiday enjoyment!

I hope you guys liked this little storyline! It was a lot of fun to write, but I hate drawing car interiors. Even though I liked the story, I was still cursing myself for writing it while I tried to figure out how to make my characters look like they were riding in a car and not floating in space. It's tough to do, and I got a lazy a few times. But I'm happy with the end result. Hopefully you are, too!

Quick Hits . . .

Here are some quick updates before my wife and I skate up to Port Huron, Michigan for Christmas:

- As you know from reading the blog, I drew six comic strip panels featuring Andy and Katie in a Christmas Countdown for my local newspaper. I'm going to publish all six of those strips next week starting this Sunday! So make sure to check the site all next week for full-color, single-panel, comicky goodness!

Also, make sure you shoot an e-mail to the Gazette's managing editor thanking him for featuring YHT in the newspaper! While you're at it, let him know how great he is at Guitar Hero (he needs some encouragement). You can contact Mike at mthrone (at) nncogannett (dot) com.

- A DeviantArt user has posted a comic strip where he apes several cartoonists styles. One of the "aped cartoonists" is yours truly, and it was really neat to see someone else's interpretation of my artwork! The comic is actually pretty cute, too! Check it out!

- People are still signing up for the YHT Newsletter, and many of them are super excited about it! Check out this little haiku written by recent newsletter subscriber, Brian Camp:

i dig 'you'll have that'
now getting the newsletter
rock on my brother

Newsletter Update

I should've made this clear in yesterday's post, but I wanted to let all the newsletter subscribers (and potential subscribers) know that I will not sell or distribute your e-mail addresses to any person or company for any reason. I think that covers the legal bases, there.

With that said, sign up for the monthly YHT Newsletter! Just shoot me an e-mail and let me know you wanna subscribe: wesmolebash@gmail.com! A bunch of people have already signed up, so you should, too!

Dashing Through The Snow

Today's Comic

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!

- Wes
