Komikero Group, Elmer #4, BSG

Filed Under Elmer, Komikero Group, My Comics | 5 Comments

Jonas Diego writes an excellent post about the Komikero Artists Group here. We were just talking during FCBD about holding a Komikero meeting in Manila, and for some reason, I immediately recoiled from the idea without really expressing it until I wrote about it in my last blog entry. I really can’t find anything to disagree with in his post, and he pretty much articulated something that already knew but can’t express.

***************

People asked me during FCBD when Elmer #4 would be out. I said I’ll try to come out with it in time for Toycon, which was many many months from now in June 2008. I thought I’d make it by then. Of course, It completely escaped me that June is already NEXT MONTH. oh crap! Sorry Az! Looks like Elmer 4 at Toycon won’t be possible at all. I’ll still go and promote #3, which I haven’t had the chance to do so much lately.

Yeah, it’s the last issue, and I really don’t want to rush it just to finish it. I have to wrap up a lot of things in it, and make the series a good comprehensible whole.

Aside from the work I do for The Buzz and Sindak, I have something else going on that really takes up quite a bit of my time. I really can’t talk about it right now, but I just wanted to put it out there as an added explanation for me taking such a long time on this comic book. It’s my pet, my baby, and I really have to be careful with it. I still remember Lyndon Gregorio asking me during the 2004 Komikon what’s the next serious thing I’ll be doing after Wasted, and I said there was something I’m going to be working on and it’s going to involve chickens. The next serious thing. Chickens. And I meant it. Elmer #4… I really have to knock people’s feathers off with it or else why do it at all.

Battlestar Galactica is blowing me away. I’ve been sneaking a peak at an episode here and there and wow, this stuff is terrific.

    BSG is indeed one of the best shows I’ve seen on TV in recent history. I’m following season 4 now, and the long wait between episodes is frakking torture.

    Hey, something we agree on! :)
