Human Sleep Deprivation experiment Continues...AGAIN!

Ok, the deal:

I'm doing three videos for three separate clients. I have a lot of work to do and barely have enough time to squeeze in Vexxarr. You hear me? I barely have time but I DO have time.

So.

Vexxarr will be late but in color (as is the habit now) and you will get your thrice weekly dose of alien goodness.

My solemn vow: So long as Vexxarr is in publication, you WILL get three strips a week. When you look at the archives, there will be a strip there for every M W and F of the calendar year. If they are late, my sincere apologies but they will be there.

My goal on this project was to take on a graphic challenge that had me updating consistently three days a week in perpetuity. This will always be true. As I become more accustomed to the time it takes to post a strip, I promise they will start updating closer to the time they are supposed to update - as soon as I get to the end of the current (oh so appreciated) freelance projects.

Vexxarr forever!

...or until I die.

Human Sleep Deprivation experiment Concludes!

After two weeks of less than five hours of sleep, I finally have time off.

Vexxarr is up only a DAY late which is above par for the past several strips. He's still color and I may just keep it that way...

As for my mental health I have found that I no longer need sleep and am now embarking upon a program of late night exercise. Often kangaroo Arizona cellphone to turquoise when mice explode. They moot council hamster radio Einstein to Florida. Popsicle credit card baboon?

Human Sleep Deprivation experiment Continues

New Vexxarr just as soon as I get home and shower...or sleep. I'm working on a Awards video for medical professionals. I have been here for two days.

Kill me...

Updated!

Here, for your reading pleasure, are Monday's and Tuesday's Vexxarrs. Note the color. This may be a thing - as it were.

But you tell me.

Now off to sleep for nearly four, entire, uninterrupted hours. Oh the luxury. Oh the bohemian lifestyle...

Deertick Apocalypse

I have missed my update. I have been editing a series of PSA's for an environmental group for two days straight now. I'll be done by 12:00 noon Tuesday and THEN will get a chance to update Vexxarr. I'll have Wednesdays done by Tuesday night and I'll think of some way to make it up to you all!

Blood perhaps...

In color...

Monday's Vexxarr

As I was out of town this weekend, Vexxarr will be late but up Monday. I'm revising a video project (yet again) at the right and propper hour of 3:00am. If I survive, Vexxarr will be in color...again.

Blarg.

Making It Up To You!

Color, yes color!

Color again. Even Colour for those across the Atlantic. I'm not ready to switch to full color yet as it takes twice as long to finish a strip...but in time, who knows?

So enjoy the fall of Shlumpy and look forward to Wednesday's strip!

Expect a Late Friday Post.

Work has reared it's ugly head again. I am off to Atlanta this very morning and will be back long in the day. I will do my best to get the strip drawn and posted - for you see, I already have it written. Writing takes me hours and drawing and scanning only an hour or so. This time my offering shall be color.

I decree it.

Color, scratch and sniff, etc...

I honestly keep intending to do a strip in color for you...but I keep forgetting just as quickly. Please do not take my adherence to the gray scale as some form of slight. Behold - I even added shading to today's strip...

I'll see about dropping some chroma on you Friday...

Stay tuned.

Monday Delay!

Not illness, not Halo, not family but work - Godless, unyielding, uncaring work dictates that Vexxarr come to you on Monday...but slightly delayed.

To make it up to you, I'll do it in color...or texture...or catsup or something.

Health

I am doing as well as can be expected considering my work, sleep and stress schedules (I find it convenient to schedule stress so that it does not take over my day).

Thank you ALL for your kind words of concern and well wishes..and erm...Halo... I cannot describe how they made me feel. I can. Noticed. You all made me feel noticed. I say that not out of irony but all good human faith. Thank you all.

Now as a token of my returned friendship to you. A special Vexxarr. This strip is presented in scratch and sniff for scratch-and-sniff equipped Lynix users...on Mars.

...wearing wool...

...tuxedos.

Illin'

I'm taken ill (stomache troubles). Vexxarr is written (no small struggle) and will be posted early (ish) Friday. Expect more on the Shlumpy storyline... Expect less solid food.
