Still Kickin'

Contrary to popular belief, I have not been apprehended by the authorities. I am alive and well. Unfortunately, what HAS happened is Ol' Heavyarms has come down with a nasty bout of unemployment.

Now sure, you would think that this would leave me with ample time to script, storyboard, set up, photograph, letter and post strips for WTJP! but...well, it kind of does. The sad fact is, though, that its kind of hard to have the mindset "I wonder how much longer I can pay my mortgage? LOL! Toys R teh FUNNI3!"

Admittedly, things aren't quite as bad as all that. My wife and I didn't have a HUGE savings, but we have some and I'm also drawing unemployment, so we're not doing too bad as far as our monthly budget is concerned. However, I can't in good conscience go spend the couple of hours it takes to make a WTJP! strip (believe it or not, I actually do spend quite a bit of time on these things...I know, you can't tell) while my wife is staying at school an extra hour to tutor students and make some extra cash and them coming home and asking me if I got any job offers or interviews that day.

Fear not, though, dear reader! Things are looking up, the wheels are in motion, something could happen any time, and as soon as I am gainfully employed, WTJP! will be back with a vegeance. Then you'll ALL PAY!!!

Until then, feel free to drop by over at Transformers Fans In Name Only and say "hello." Tell them ST53 sent you.

Take every comic up until the Civil War arc, go on Cafepress, make a book, sell it, make money. I've been telling you this for quite a while.

Actually, I have something very special planned for a Civil War collection and will have an announcement about it in September or October. Which also gives me a little motivation to get it finished by then (I think I'm about halfway through right now.)

I've only got one question for you, pal.

Is your blog in Minima format? 'Cause if it is, how do you get your text body to be so wide? Mine is really narrow.

Derachi said...

So, Heavyarms, would you rather be called ST53 as opposed to Heavyarms? That can be arranged...

Oops, nevermind. I figured out how to do customize my page the way I want.

Good luck. I hate to see a fellow TransFan in trouble.

I really hope things level out for you soon. I've been thinking about your webcomic a lot lately because it serves as a huge inspiration for my own webcomic. You've got some hilarious and clever material on here, and it would be a shame if it all ended.
