Hello, Saturnites!
A) First up, Joel Danford just called to let me know that “Johnny Saturn: Synns of the Father” is now up on Barnes & Noble! That is indeed a good feeling. Benita and I are doing happy dances.
B) Will Johnny Saturn return to being fully rendered? Oh, yes. It would be now, but I’m trying to get ahead enough that the strip doesn’t run out while we are at Wizard World Chicago. Maybe I should have hired an assistant colorist on this, but, really, I want to keep coloring it myself. Others may be more skillful than I am, but no one sweats the details like I do.
C) Will Johnny Saturn continue with downer episodes? Nope. Things are dire for our heroes in the beginning of this new epic, but the action and adventure are coming back. Let’s be frank: This is a dark yarn. Still, there will be excitement, mystery, momentum, and reveals coming aplenty!
D) I am strongly considering themed blog entries. Bob Freeman did this beautifully on his blog, with specialized headers for each blog category, and I want to too. So far, while I haven’t decided on the categories yet, I’ve considered: webcomics, art techniques, Johnny Saturn trivia, media reviews (prose, movies, music), and new art. I might even be able to coax Benita into contributing a monthly or weekly blog. In any case, I’m planning on blogging Monday through Friday.
Scott.
