Deadlines keep on running

This is the first time I'm running on deadline for Unfettered by Talent. Which catches me by surprise -- I could have sworn I'd drawn the denouement to the Teashop strips already. But, sadly, I haven't, and so I'm sketching it now.
Unfettered's a crappy little comic -- no one denies that. But, it still takes time. Time to sketch, to ink, to scan, to clean up, to letter, to upload. Generally I work in spurts -- doing three or four at a time. I like to do a few weeks' worth at a time. Buuuuuut, I'm also coming up on deadline for a Role Playing Game supplement I'm working on, which has most of my creative energies right now (and rightfully so, as they're paying me and Unfettered isn't). So, it's scribble out a strip when I can and type type type the rest of the time.
In early May, I expect to get a bunch of strips done, especially against a trip I'll be taking at the end of May. And, once we get into the summer I should get way ahead. But that's then. This is now.
(Just finished 'dinner.' A 'cream of broccoli' instant soup supplement. Now, I like broccoli quite a lot, but I don't like cream of broccoli soup. I never have. I had no expectation of liking this stuff, but it's what I had here at the office, and that's where I draw. Oddly, it's more tolerable than the real thing -- probably because I couldn't identify much of the original in it.)
