UPDATING OCCASIONALLY (FOR NOW)

  1. Some friction, but yeah. IRL, I’d like these two…they should have kids. 😉

    1. I might have to draw out what their kid would look like. First thought is that their kid would look like Ongo Gablogian from “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia”

    2. He’s pushing 60, she’s maybe 30, more likely less. Chuck is most likely shooting blanks, and besides, he’s talking to her like a baby sister than a love interest.

  2. It is really hard to have a favorite character, as there are so many good ones. But I think Rosa is my favorite. Chuck is a good accomplice in sneaking work, but not much for romance. Uugh.

  3. I mean, if they don’t have at least an inkling of what’s going down, I’m actually disappointed in Clearstream. If anything, I’m starting to wonder if they caught on and realized “Wait, we can use this.”

    Because of course they can. 😉

  4. Dr. Norman (not a real doctor)

    I’m way ahead of you – I’ve been waiting for you to catch up. From November 2020:
    I would hope for nothing less – her and Chuck have the potential for a great deal of positive mischief.
    Speaking of which, I received the email notifying me that my order for the NSFW “Chuck and Rosa Finally Do It” (age verification required) limited edition hardcover is going to be delayed due to the pandemic. I think it’s really cool that you’ll be adding some additional stretch goal goodies when it ships – thanks for all your story and art.
    As for the inscription, ” We owe it all to you ” will be sufficient.

542 – Catching Up

The working vacation…

I have to admit, I was a little bummed out this year when I confirmed the dates for Long Beach Comic Con 2019 and realized that it was the earliest it had ever been scheduled: August 31st and September 1st. In other words, my birthday weekend. I resolved to follow through since Dawn and I have yet to miss a Long Beach show since they started, but I can’t deny there was a twinge of mopery since exhibiting at a convention just isn’t the same sort of freewheeling feeling one has for attending. You’re holding down a table for hours, and while it’s hardly something I’d compare to 9-to-5 cubicle drudgery I’d be lying if I said it doesn’t get slow at times, not to mention the effort of load-out and load-in and, in the case of Long Beach, the driving back and forth since the time and distance doesn’t quite justify the expense of a hotel. And then maybe a little over a month ago I had an obvious epiphany: the convention by itself may not have justified a hotel, but the convention combined with a birthday? How ’bout that? Luckily this wasn’t San Diego or even WonderCon so it wasn’t beyond question trying to find a nearby place. Even snagged one with a nice pool that was open late. We actually managed to spend an hour or so (literally) cooling our heels in that pool, and let me tell you that’s almost as rare a feat for exhibitors as being able to take advantage of a happy hour. Also on Saturday we had enough friends come by it still felt birthday enough, especially when some stayed long enough for a few drinks after. Conventions are work, no doubt, and this was no exception. But if you work it well enough, they can still be a kind of vacation.
