Because the world anxiously awaits the next IRK comic, here's a little update. I loaded a bunch of software onto my backup computer and verified that it has what it takes to handle my comic-making abuses. Now I just need to decide whether to start a new comic, or re-do the half-finished comic I (may have) lost on the computer that crashed. Or... neither?

When my web site went down for a few days not too long ago, my internet traffic took a big hit. When traffic was at its lowest my reaction was not, "Oh no!" My reaction was, "No one left to please. I'm finally free!" I think I'm putting to much pressure on myself to please a handful of (mostly) ungrateful strangers. I love drawing. I just need to figure out how to make the experience more rewarding. Maybe I ought to stop looking at the traffic statistics. But then why post my comics at all? Man, what a headcase, eh? Apparently there aren't enough problems in the world for me to worry about.
