I Might Be a While…

Filed Under General, My Comics | Comments Off

The short of it: my computer is wrecked. I think I will be able to retrieve most of my data, so it’s not a complete pisser. It will be a while before I get things back in order though.

Before I go any further, I would like to assure that those I have any obligations to need not worry. I’m still working on those respective projects with or without a computer. I will be emailing you shortly.

I really have to say, I’m really pissed now. It’s been one thing after another and the computer breaking down is the last thing I need. Perhaps this is the opportunity for me to act on something that has been bugging me for a while. You’ve all read me yap incessantly in this blog for many years now. I’ve annoyed some of you, pissed of some of you, perhaps inspired some, helped some, or maybe I’ve just given some a little bit of entertainment.

And I’ve been thinking, (and I talked a bit to Randy Valiente about this), what with all the drama in recent couple of years about the komiks industry, and that thing about manga further back, and other things, and it’s all become rather distressing… what the cack do I care? All this is unnecessary grief. Grief I don’t need when I’ve got a lot of jobs to take care of. Primary of which is taking care of my family, my own and of course, my parents. What the hell does all of that have to do with taking care of what’s important in my life? Nothing really. So honestly, what the fuck do I care?

So artists, if you want to draw like the Japanese, go ahead. I’m not your father, Luke.

If some obtuse people of the old komiks industry still believe they can do without us and even consider us with suspicion and consider us a “threat”, then go ahead and live in your own close minded shrinking world.

To all of you anonymous blowhards who believe you know what you are talking about, GROW UP. Anonymity is for children playing childish games. I have no time for this, and I will waste no brain matter over this. So until you people want to take this business seriously and act like adults, just get the hell out of my face.

Yeah, I need a break. I’m going to do what Carver has been doing once in a while. Just stop blogging for a couple of months. Maybe less. Maybe more. Right now I really can’t tell. I think that’s a good thing. It would allow me to really concentrate on work and my family. I just need to get away from all this for a while.

I do want to thank people like KC Cordero, Nestor Malgapo, Jun Lofamia, Tony DeZuniga and many other people too numerous to name, who have had great confidence and trust in me to accept me and the work I’ve done. Rest assured that I will continue to maintain the comics museum, and I will continue to support and promote the work of our many great artists. I think it’s something that’s become a fundamental part of me that I would be unable to forgo.

I will still be able to check email so feel free to get in touch.
