Nowhere Band News

…and the Boys take the stage.

If I can hyperventilate a little bit, I’m pretty psyched about hitting 50 comics (although I have quicker-working friends who blew through 50 in a lot less than a year… oh, well).  I took a stroll through the archives this weekend, and it was pretty interesting. A lot of stuff I liked, a couple of things that made me cringe (to me, anyway, it’s really visible where I started using a different scanner/PhotoShop setup and experienced some harsh growing pains as I adapted). I wish I’d done some pacing a little differently, and there were some inking experiments that didn’t turn out the way I’d hoped, but overall I think I’m accomplishing what I set out to accomplish, and if nothing else I think it’s looking better as it goes.

A friend suggested that 50 was a good place to start thinking about a print collection. And I like the idea a lot, although I’d probably have to redo the strips in black and white and reformat a bunch of them since they’re all designed just to scroll down a browser window. So I’m curious: any interest in a print collection, assuming I can keep it cheap?

And finally: the timing on #51 is a  little up in the air, since I’m travelling for most of this week.  Should be up before Thanksgiving, though. Watch the newsblog.
