A lot has happened since my last update. Most significantly, I’ve gotten engaged. Why should you care? Because the future Mrs. Tracy is going to be helping me with the comics.

Okay, now for the sad part. I’m worried about meeting the deadline I set for all of you. Personal obligations mixed with excessive hours at work and commuting to Chicago have destroyed my schedule for the first volume of the MSPaint Comic.

Making matters worse, the length of the comic keeps growing. Whereas the comic was originally going to be 80 pages, I am currently working on page 89 and it looks like I might be going over 100 pages when all is said and done.

Considering everything that has to go into the book’s release, including a censorship review by the United States Air Force, I’m thinking a holiday release may not be possible.

I haven’t given up, but in the interest of honesty, I wanted to make sure you knew what was going on. It pisses me off when projects like films or movies don’t meet deadlines and fans are left in the dark until some random journalist asks the question or we find out about it on Twitter or Facebook.

Sort of like the sequels to Mongol and, an animated favorite of mine, Wizards; or the still to be found on Netflix second Eden of the East film.

Anyway, it’s nearly 3am here and I’m going to sleep before waking up, going pee, and getting back to work on the comic. This long weekend needs to be productive if I have any chance at finishing the comic on time.
