Chapter 6 is in the can, and has been for a while. I know, I'm as surprised as you are. Chapter 7 is well underway, with all the drawing done and just the inking and editing left. And chapter 8? I'm planning to do a lot of color for that one, but with a very different layout. We'll see how that goes once I get there.

In the retail world it's almost time for Black Friday again, and that's meant long hours and lots of big boxes of little things to put up on little hooks on big walls. Everyone has their own philosophy of how a wall full of products ought to look, and it can be shocking how self-righteous people get when they find out their own personal philosophy isn't shared by others. …or not, when you replace “wall full of products” with any other concept. Within any operation you'll have productive and counterproductive activities. I suppose it just frustrates me when my productivity is caught up in a wave of someone else's counterproductivity. You understand.

But you came for statistics!

89 units this month, and very well rounded. Overall progress is at 30%.

I'll be going back to 3 updates a week starting with chapter 6. The way chapter 7 is going, I should be able to get that up even faster.
