Lessons lagged…

As you may know, our recent second Kickstarter was successfully funded, which means a Volume 2 trade collection is going to happen. First, though, I (perhaps unwisely) have consigned myself to going back through all the content involved and adjusting the lettering to a more consistent state based on my current skills and knowledge versus… 2013? Holy crap, was Episode Eight really six years ago?

I suppose that actually tracks, come to think of it. I did the same sorts of revisions for Volume 1 when we had our first Kickstarter back in 2015, and that was working with content all the way back to Episode One in 2009.

But here I am, going over 2013 content and feeling like I’m needing to make a lot of the same adjustments. Did I learn nothing?

Well, of course I did… but the fact is that 2013 comes before 2015, and 2015 was where I worked on that first trade and consolidated a lot of the standards I wanted to use going forwards. I learned, but there’s a lag time to account for. Once I hit the latter half of 2015 there should be much smoother sailing in terms of the revisions. Or at least there better be, or else I really will be having to take past me aside for a chat about all this.
