8/4/2010: STRIPTEASE returns- 8•20•10
Hey 'teasers. It's been a while coming, but Striptease will finally return to continue and finish the whole shebang on Friday, August 20th.
I'll also be switching back to a Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule, with Friday posts showing sketches and bonus material updates. I appreciate everyone being patient while I get all my ducks in a row, and preparing for the biggest day of my life next month. I've been very excited during this break to start updating everything, but wanted to wait until I knew updates would be non stop and all my writing was well ahead of schedule. I'm nearing the conclusion of the scripting process, and I can't wait to see what people think of it. I know this strip is a little guilty pleasure strip. It's a little corner of the internet. Some people chalk it up as fluff, bad writing, over dramatic, clichéd soap opera crap. Well to that I say... thank you, because that's what I like writing. I enjoy doing it because it's funny and engaging for me to create. And hey, someone's gotta do it. see you with another teaser image soon.

7/21/2010: COMIC CON, SAN DIEGO!
I will be at San Diego Comic Con starting tomorrow, and through Sunday at booth 1230. I'll be with Randy Milholland, creator of Something Positive, and J. Grant and Mel, creators of Two Lumps. Booth 1230 is part of the larger Webcomics Pavilion area, and we're right across from Topatoco and PVP, and next to Halfpixel and Cyanide and Happiness.
I have some new art, a new poster for you BSG fans, Punch an' Pie books, Striptease shirts, and I'll be doing free sketches all weekend, so stop by and bug me if you get the chance.
On a side note, I know I said I would be posting strips after a month hiatus. I was wrong. To be honest, I needed a lot more time for myself than I thought. For wedding planning, to prevent any more anxiety attacks, for my own sanity, I just did. The reason Striptease was the thing to be put on hold, is because I had made a commitment to Aeire to keep Punch an' Pie going. We don't always get it on time, but we do get comics posted. Sometimes it's my fault, and sometimes she's running late on a deadline. It happens. We're both working full time jobs and this is a side hobby for both of us. So Striptease is what I have control over, and I decided rather than post when I can or have the comic suffer intermittently, I decided to cut back, refocus, and start again new and fresh for the final arc. I'm currently in the midst of finishing the entire series scripts, and will be drawing again soon. What I'd like you to know is that I do miss it, I'm going to finish this, and I can't wait. Most of you have been nothing but supportive of this decision, and I thank you. For those that are not, you don't have to be frustrated because I'm not updating, because you don't have to read the strip. No one is forcing you to read this, and there are some great comics out there that are updating right now. As far as I know, the only person that should be inconvenienced by my personal life, is me. For those of you that do want to know what happens to Max, Alli, Tommy, Em, Rae, Kim, Chip, Damion, Willy, Mikayla, and all the others... stay tuned. I promise it will be in true Striptease fashion, a wild ride.
Chris
