Not much goin’ on today…did the layouts for the next three “Irrational Fears” (and either two or three more after that, then this story arc ends, for a grand total of either thirty-one or thirty-two pages, depending on how long it takes Chu to recover from being pummelled by a monster.) I’m not sure what the next fear is gonna be, but I did promise to at least get Bob & Squeak & the severed brain a bit more resolved, so I’ll have a little while to think about it. Mothman is currently the top contender, neck-and-neck with Two Nightmares About Lizards, with perhaps a one-page interlude to handle my atavistic terror of the lowly house centipede. Cat still leaking, but seems otherwise chipper, eating like a fuzzy little hog. Have cordoned off kitchen and bathroom as “incontinent cat territory” and am grimly anticipating a few hours spent with Pinesol once cat is healthy again. The joys of pet ownership are myriad and neverending.

I’ve got something with a flying squirrel and magnolias in progress, but I may work on my Great Unfinished Samurai Novel instead…been neglecting it for awhile. However, watching “Samurai Jack” always gets the creative juices flowing–I love that show. Actually, I’m not sure how I lived without cable–there’s this rivetting documentary about honey badgers on right now. I had no idea that honey badgers were the African equivalent of the wolverine–I had a vague impression of good natured, cuddly little things. Shows what I know. They’re really cute, though, even if they are psychotic little buggers. I should paint an anthro one.

Speaking of anthros, I tripped over this while poking idily through the VCL recents, and thought it was really engaging–check out the artist’s other work, there’s some very nice stuff there, and c’mon! You’re reading a livejournal, obviously you’re looking for stuff to peruse, right? Right.
