cottage storm

Thanks so much to Beckett for sending me today's Conchord photos!

I've updated Waiting For Frodo again. This cottage air is inspiring me. :-) As are the e-mails and postings that erupted when I finally updated the comic strip after about three months of silence. ("Thank god you posted a new comic! I was beginning to worry the comic was over!" "YAAAAAAAYYYY!!!" "Yay!!!! Waiting For Frodo is BACK!")

It's nice to know people were enjoying the comic strip that much. :-) I've also been getting e-mail and postings suggesting I sell the comics in comic book format when it's over (after the third movie comes out and Sam doesn't have any lines to wait in anymore). Hmmm...must think about this. Two problems with this idea: I've been creating the comics in low-res, which isn't really good enough for professional printing. Also, I suspect Tolkien Estates would not be happy.

Still, the positive feedback is nice, and I'm also getting a lot of idea suggestions for future strips (thanks, everyone!).





Mega-thunderstorm last night. It was exciting to watch the black clouds roll in. I love storm-watching. Lots of impressive thunder and lightning, and a much-needed downpour (there's been a fire hazard warning in the park for ages).
