After this Friday, school's out for the summer

School ends April 22nd!  I get about a month off from school.  I'm not sure what, if anything, will be done during this time.  I have some future projects in mind (outside of the two ashcan comics I'll work on starting Jan 2012).

Choco and Cocoa Presents: Tales of Father Moose #1
Moose is Choco's brother.  I've written a seven day comic strip involving Moose but I haven't drawn it (maybe I'll put that out there).  Anyway, his birth name is Mousse, but it's pronounced Moose and he goes by that spelling.  In any case, many people don't know it, but all of the well known fairy tales and nursery rhymes involve monkeys.  To prove it, Moose is going to tell some of his favorites in their original forms.  It'll be another 12 page ashcan comic (maybe consisting of between 4-5 nursery rhymes and very short stories).

So, one more ashcan to throw on the TO-DO bucket list.  It'll come out after the first two ashcans, but I'll release a copy of the first tale on the website once I draw and ink it.  Maybe I'll eventually compile all of the ashcans (throwing in the web comic and the daily comics) and put it in a graphic novel format.  Who knows.

In any case, all of my classes end December 17th (that's the date for commencement).  After that (and after some well deserved partying and R&R and Christmas stuff) I'll start work on the ashcan comics.  Until then, I'll just be very anxious to get started.  It's been about six years that I've put this on hold.  Hopefully, these final few months won't be too agonizing.
