something I am grateful for today

I can eventually learn better.

My latest page is behind schedule -- in part because of intermittent yet ongoing ill health, but also because I was dreading this one panel. Complex, tricky perspective, sutff like that -- basically it was gonna be hard to do, and I didn't feel up to tackling it.

Today I finally bit the bullet... and as I got past the halfway point I realized that drawing it wasn't really as bad as I feared. Once in a while a panel truly is the bear I expect, but more often than not they end up being easier than I thought.

I need to learn that lesson repeatedly, but I do eventually learn it.

Does this mean I get another Space Kid page soon? I hope so.

A good lesson for anyone, I think.

Cartooning as a metaphor for existence! We are zen without even trying!
