And so, this draws an end to boob week.

Onto something I feel I need to talk to you guys about. Unfortunately, drawing this strip made me realise how much i still have to learn about artwork, and I am in fact not really improving the way I hoped to. I've been told by a few people, mostly mainstream publishers, that while they like my writing, my art sucks (Actual words I have heard).

Now, I want to make this clear to you guys. I am not quitting LWI. I love this comic. I'm just thinking I need to practice my art for another year or two before I can do a comic at the level I would like to.

So, until then, what if I hired another cartoonist?

The schedule might drop a little, but I'll make sure we get at least 5 updates per week. Also, until one is decided upon, I'll keep drawing and will keep to the current schedule. But I just feel I'm not ready yet to take this comic where I want it to go. Perhaps I never will be, but I do want this thing to do well.

So yeah, maybe a new artist and maybe a few of the old strips will be redone. But same old same old tomorrow. Have a good weekend.
