Q-Burger is now going to be published on the first Wednesday of every other month.
I’m not pleased about this, but I’m moving Q-Burger to a bi-monthly schedule.
The month of February showed me that while I could produce 14 pages of comics in a month, it was very expensive when combined with illness and other obligations.
I’m very nearly burned out. And only after doing this for 3 months. So something has to change. And the easiest piece to move around seems to be Q-Burger.
And it’s not just to protect my fragile little mind from the rigors of dealing with deadlines. It’s also to give me a chance to work on improving my craft.
It’s not enough to just make comics day in and day out. I need to practice and learn new skills and tools. I need to work on some anatomy. I need to practice drawing folds in fabric. I think there will be value in learning more about Google Sketchp.
As it stands right now, I just don’t have the time to do any of those things. And I think my work is already suffering and what little skill I’ve managed to develop is beginning to atrophy.
So there you have it. Q-Burger is going to move to a bi-monthly schedule and will next appear on April 7th.

You’ve just supported The Winchcombe. It’s as easy as that.
You’ll get your stuff, I’ll get a kickback. Everyone’s happy.
Macworld magazine did a little write up on the announcement of Wacom’s new Cintiq 21UX. It’ll be released in early April. You know, like 2 months after I buy what is now the old version.
Typical. Not that I’m bitter or anything.
But you can help lessen the blow.
Pre-order the Cintiq from Amazon by clicking this link, and I’ll get a sweet kickback. You KNOW you want one. They really are quite awesome.

No comics or blog posts this week due to illness.
I don’t doodle nearly as much as I should. I think it’s fun. And cartoonist Pete Emslie backs me up on this.
I especially like to doodle because I feel I can draw completely in my own natural style, as loose, spontaneous and free of the constraints I might place on myself when drawing for a paid commission, particularly when the client is expecting something to look a certain way. When one doodles, there is the distinct pleasure of knowing that you are doing it just for yourself, not subject to anybody else’s approval nor what they would be willing to pay for it. No, you yourself are the only one to satisfy and, heck, even if you don’t like it, you haven’t invested much time or effort in creating it. If it’s good, maybe you’ll file it away for future reference, and if not, it joins the rest of the newspaper in the aforementioned recycling bin.
