Hey, sorry this is late, guys. I had a CRAZY week. D:
Thursday I worked my usual shift but Friday I worked a 12hr day for the half-price party and succeeded in bruising my hand after playing for 2 hours with 2 heavy submissives into open-hand spanking. D: It's better now, though.
Then, Saturday we spent the whole day setting up for and then having Sharky's going away party. Then Sunday was easter and I went down to Long Beach to spend it with family so I haven't had a chance to draw until today. *huffhuff*
In better news, though, Sharky isn't leaving until the 19th, now! Of course, considering how often they're changing the dates there could be totally different news tomorrow...
I'm not religious so I don't really celebrate Easter or anything like that but when a comic falls on or close to a big holiday I try to use it as an excuse to take a break from story-lines and such. Unfortunately I didn't realize how FREAKIN' long this damnable thing was going to take me. *fistshake* I hate coloring!
Also, the whole costume thing is almost turning into a running joke.
Earlier today I stopped by a store to see if they had something in stock and when I approached a young, hipster looking associate with dyed black hair hanging in one eye, a trendy baseball cap and plugs in his ears and began with, "Excuse me," he replied, "What can I help you with, sir?"
It's been a LONG time since I've been mistaken for a guy, what with my hair extremely long now, but I WAS in my usual baggy sweater and jeans and had a pony-tail up so I just assumed he hadn't taken too close a look. Still, slightly caught off-guard I gave a little chuckle and said, "Or, you know, ma'am."
And he stared blankly at me and then shrugged.
I guess I was expecting something else but I'm not really sure what this gesture was supposed to mean. Did it mean he didn't give a fuck? Or that to him sir/ma'am mean the same damn thing? Or did he really not catch on that I'm actually a chick?
At any rate, I must not be his usual interpretation of what a woman should look like. Or he's MASTERED the apathetic teen stereotype. I got some mild amusement out of it, through my befuddlement.
I'm swamped with commissions and work appointments this month, on top of the comic, so we'll see if I can keep up. We're a comic behind right now but I'm gonna do my best to get us caught up within the week.
