116: Damage Control

Ian Jay on Sept. 3, 2007

Aaaand back! I'm sorry about the lapse last week, you guys. No, I mean really sorry. For myself, mostly. Y'see, our friendly neighborhood hosting site DrunkDuck.com decided to feature TEO on their front page a couple days ago, and they did it on the one week that I had some crappy half-assed piece of “ohhh, I don't feel like doing a page this week” filler art up. I'm ashamed beyond compare. Accept my apologies, dear readers.

Especially any new readers out there! For those just tuning in, welcome to Try Everything Once, a comic that's about a rock band in space, except when it isn't. The plot is long, and sort of convoluted, but it breaks down as follows:

Miserable/dangerous things happening to main characters - 35%
Stickin' it to the Man - 28%
Pop culture references - 17%
Quasi-scientific bullhockey - 12%
Astonishingly stupid one-line throwaway jokes - 6%
Riboflavin - 2%

Go back to the beginning and read on, hope you enjoy it, tell your friends, blah blah blah, etc. etc. etc. You've read these sort of introductions; you get the point. I try to be good to my readers. Which leads into my next topic…

As I've been blathering about for several months now, I'll be going to the Savannah College of Art and Design this fall– classes start next Monday, actually– and, while I plan to continue churning out TEO pages, I'm going to be busy doing other things too (like homework, parties, extracurricular clubs, working at the school radio station), so there might be a few weeks with late updates. Forgive me for this. TEO's updating schedule, as long-time readers will know, has always been rather… flexible, and it might get a little more so.

HOWEVER! I'm not wussing out and going “on hiatus”. Not when I'm this close to the end. I'd like to make that point clear. Just… bear with me, okay? I'm doing the best I can here.

In conclusion: Music video for Coral's “In The Morning”. Not new, but fairly catchy, and I like the funky after-school-program-art-project look of the video.

Sincerely,

Ian Jay
