I'm actually surprised how long this series is going. I will have two more up by the end of next week. That will put us at EOS 100!
What do I do after that. Well. I want to keep on drawing. I like drawing, and I like what I draw.
Anyway, here ist he big announcement I was talking about that will affect my update schedule.
I am moving to California. I took a job with a bay-area employer. I am not exactly sure where I will be living, but it will be somewhere on the peninsula between San Fransisco and San Jose.
So, how does this affect the comic? Well, I am planning an month off to drive across the country. It appears to be the time for cartoonists to do just that. ( www.girlswithslingshots.com ) This means I will not have regular updates, but I did buy a sketchbook, and I plan to do a comic a day. Leaving on the 18th, I plan to visit (Cleveland?)) Ann Arbor, Chicago, Rockford, Philedelphia (yes, I have to fly back for something), Madison, Peoria, Kansas City, Tulsa, (Dallas?) Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Denver, Flagstaff, Los Angeles, and of course San Fransisco. This is tentative, and I might take a northern route, but I have a month to do it. Who knows what the comics are going to be about. Probably, national parks and my brother's snoring, but it will be an adventure.
Actually the most adventurous thing I did was when I quit on Monday. I am a very timid person. I don't even let myself fall in love with girls I know I should be crazy about, because of the what-if, factor. Anyway. I was granted a tentative job offer provided I passed some routine background tests. I know there is no way I am going to fail, but heaven forbid I actually bank on that. No, I needed a guarantee in hand before I quit my job. Well, the guarantee wasn't coming that day, but I was contractually obligated to give a two-weeks notice. So what do I do, delay my trip by at least a weekend, or bank on something I knew I was going to pass? In the end I finally did something that made sense, and I handed in my resignation on Monday. It's not really that crazy, but it is not 100% guaranteed, and that feels pretty wild for me.
Anyway. I will not go into details about the job. It is a space technology research position with one of the largest aerospace companies in the world. It is basically what I have been working towards since I was 16/17? for reference I am 30. Anyway, it is really exciting. That being said, I keep on wondering if I should maybe be more crazy and jsut quit all of this to be a cartoonist. This is always has been a passion. We'll see. If you tell all of your friends and they tell their friends and they all love it, then I will totally do this as a full-time job. I have tracking statistics, so I know if you are going crazy about me or not.
Anyway, have fun.
Andrew
