Good News, Everyone!
After two months of feeling empty and being terrified I might have some awful illness, I actually feel like and desire to work on my comics! This is a wonderful feeling!
Granted it hit me while I was at work, but still...
I had been pecking away at an image of Tlaloc for a couple of days, nothing serious, but I was at work and suddenly I NEEDED to art. Unfortunately, they don't want me drawing there so I had to sneak a tiny piss-poor sketch (that I threw out anyway) while trying to stay out of sight. Now I am home, updating this, checking my email and dashing back downstairs to do more drawing.
Nothing breathtaking is going to come from this, but it's something. And I love it. I feel like the switch has suddenly come back on.
HERE IS THE IMPORTANT PART:
I was telling someone that if I ever felt like drawing again that I would do a buffer of GF so I could do some updates and they asked a very, very important question: Why?
Seriously, why AM I killing myself and forcing myself into slumps of failure just to update a page that's half done or half assed?
So from now on, GF is a randomly updated comic. It works for Maggot Boy, Zebra Girl and Mokepon, it can work for GO FISH.
This, hopefully, will assure completed pages that are 100% to my approval, sans shame.
It feels really great to be in love again. Thanks for sticking with me, guys, I hope to not disappoint you!

I was hoping to get back into my work before the end of the year. This is becoming annoying. I tried to explain it to my dad, who seemed to understand, and fell into tears. It's heartbreaking coming to terms with this...dysfunction? that I have. I am making it a point to make an appointment with a doctor next week. It's a busy time of year, but I want to come back. I miss you guys and your comments on my facebook make me weepy.
I'm also back online, if you hadn't noticed.
Thanks for your support and patience, once again. It seems pointless to hold a contest now, but I would love you give you all prizes and free stuff to show my appreciation.

November 26th, 2009 Thanksgiving.
Hey all. No I'm not ready yet.
But I am going to be out of internet for a while. The internet in this state is laughable when it comes to hooking it up and keeping it. Also, I'll need to get Verizon off my computer and who knows if that's implanted some "you can't have any other ISP! BWAHAHAHAAA" software or not.
It could be one day (which means all these updates are stupid and pointless) or a month (which means there will be a newspaper article about me).
Anyway, things haven't changed. I'm still burned out or whatever. I haven't gone to see anyone though I want to. I want to do a lot of things.

November 2009
I guess the reason I haven't been updating is that I just don't feel it anymore. This isn't my ever-other-week emptiness (thanks for pointing that out, Doodles), no, this is something much more hollow and cold. I think about my art very rarely nowadays. I pick up a sketch pad and put it down after two minutes.
But I'm not unhappy. I'm not depressed or moody or PMSing; there's just NOTHING INSIDE OF ME. It's like every bit of art NEVER HAPPENED.
GF's future has two options: 1) I somehow get an artgasm and get back into loving my work and desiring to do it and finding some meaning in this shell of an existence or 2) my heart and mind finally accept that my art has and never will get me beyond a grade school dream and I become another faceless cog in the world with sixteen years of failure on my back. In that case, at least I've got plenty to burn, right?
Yes, that means BLOOD is on hold and even my not-even-started Secret Wars project on deviantART are all meaningless piles of paper and fail taking up my bedroom closet and floor.
Hell, best case scenerio is I give my brain a break from this guilt I have to update, my stress goes away, my jaw clenching ceases and I can sleep more fully. Maybe if I stop worrying about it, I can actually do it. But that's best case.
Let it play out.

NOTICE
I actually wasn't expecting this, but there won't be an update on Friday. I'm going home for a couple days to get my car reinforced for the winter and see the family. It didn't occur to me until just now that the next page isn't even half done and I wouldn't have today to work on it. My apologies.
Use the LINKS section to find a comic that IS updating Friday and I'll see you back here Tuesday.

The page will be up soon. My ticket in the CG queue was like...2900 or something.
Let me know what you think of the shading style. If you like it, I'll continue it. If not, I'll got back to what I was doing before.
(Life stuff: I'm moving! Finally!)
Today's page: Zero = the amount of crap Hina Ika takes.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN
HOPEFULLY the link to the Halloween special will appear below the notice.
I am having a very drab Halloween. Vermont Octobers are typically cold and, occasionally, snowy; but it's just been raining the whole time and my pumpkin with a joyful expression fucking MELTED. There was a party this weekend hosted by the sweetest guy in the universe and fate decided to take his mother a week before his favorite holiday (my sincerest condolences and sympathy goes to you, Dan, I love you). I ate all my Reeces cups and am too worried about the price hike the night before Halloween to go buy more. Oh, and I'm uninspired and on the rag.
Anyway, you should all go out and enjoy yourselves and eat candy until you get an outtie. I'm going to hang out and watch Fatal Frame walkthroughs and keep the lights off. Fucking kids.

PLEASE READ
I forgot today was Tuesday for the most part because I took Sunday off from work. BUT I am working on a super-special Halloween update so the bad news is I will not be updating between now and Halloween. Yes, I'll go back and finish Hina Ika's outfit and Baxter's vest (because I obviously forgot to color them), but I am trying to focus on this one image. It will be posted on my deviantART page (click the ART link above). You can find a preview of the things to come there now.
This year all of my characters will be dressing up as other webcomic characters. See if you can pick them all out! I will not be notifying the artists, mostly because I want it to be a surprise, but if you feel like sending them a link please do! I will probably tell them after Halloween. And yes, I will be posting links to all of their comics when it is done.

The 16th, already?
A day after I posted that sob-story of a speech, I began to feel better. I don't know why yet. I am still seeking therapy. But today was one of the few days I felt creative and able. I HAVE updated but ComicGenesis is constipated.
The page is NOT done, but it will be. I was trying to finish it around 3am and by 4am I start to see things so I just wanted to show you guys I had SOMETHING.
Thank you for your support and understanding and patience. Your kindness is appreciated and, one day, I'd like to return it.
EDIT: All the pages featuring Hina Ika, Baxter and Roger in this issue are now COMPLETED. Please refresh your browser and go back and look at them and go "Ooo..."

Tuesday October 13th, 2009
EDIT:
I will explain because it's worth visiting.
I am currently dealing with some serious life changes. Not like...getting married or having a kid or anything like that (obviously), but big for me.
I think I may actually have some kind of...need for medication. I don't want to/can't say I'm depressed because I know I am capable of feeling happy. I am very very certain I have anxiety problems. And lately, these feelings have become so overwhelming that I have had no desire to draw, ney, think about art. It doesn't even matter to me right now. And that thought makes me bawl my eyes out because it's not like I have anything else.
So I am seeking professional help. I am going to find a therapist or consider finding someone who can prescribe me something. This may sound old hat and small to some people, considering most of the nation is raised taking some kind of pill, but I've always been against medication. I thought it was more rewarding to overcome mental obstacles.
But if I can no longer find enjoyment in my art or my life, I think I can open my hand out.
Please understand and be patient. And pray that I find things worth doing again.
Thanks

Monday October Something, 2009
Hi. Me again.
If you're reading this, it's probably because I haven't updated. This is becoming a trend, isn't it? This week's reason -I mean, flavor - is that I'm down, I'm frustrated and stressed and I'm on the rag (hahaha boys don't read this so what do I care?) so everything is very, very low in interest other than sleeping. I pretty much have to force myself to eat and wake up and put on pants, let alone think about GF and Blood.
This will pass. It always does. Until I get paid to do this, there's no point in killing myself over it (not to say I'm not grateful for the $50 donation from Eric Hazel).
Also, I'm moving back to the laundromat to do Blood because the train station tables are cold and will be gone when it starts to snow. And hopefully, so will the construction and FUCKING TOURISTS, JESUS CHRIST, GET OUT OF MY STATE, ASSHOLES...
...
Right. Also, if you're having trouble with commenting and whatnot, right click "View This Frame..." into a new tab. If you can't do that, you're probably using IE and in that case HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA ASSHAT!

Thank God it's October...
As you can see there was no finished page and again today...no finished page. Also, this is kind of a crappy page. I shat it out in two and a half hours, that's why.
I am not in the mood to work on GF or Blood at the moment. I don't know why. I get down sometimes. It'll pass, it always does, but I won't be updating until then. I'll post fanart if you've got it, but otherwise, get used to seeing this page. Maybe it will pass before Tuesday; wouldn't that be nice?
Today's page: Baxter, you look surprised to hear that you're amazing.

Have you checked out BLOOD yet? It's my mini comic. The link is above. It's about Tlaloc, who you love.
There will be no update on Tuesday, but there may be a finished last-Friday's page. Hope all is well. I want some morphine.
EDIT: I'd also like to thank chanyasoy for making me some fanart!...I mean...not that...I search for it or anything...ahem. Thank you!

I realize yesterday's post was labeled "Sunday" but I meant "Saturday".
Anyway, I realize this page and the comic look different on other people's computers. My recommendations are 1) make your browers as wide as possible or 2) stop using IE. Actually that should be an AND stop using IE...
If you are experiencing viewing issues, please let me know so I can make a note of the issues people run into.
This page is way too green on this screen. WTF.

Today's Page: I hurried this one, I won't lie. But I really like the first panel. Both in sketch form and digital.
NOTE: This page's HTML and CSS are FINALLY under construction so the whole thing may look a little wonky. Just keep F5-ing it.

Yes, extended weekends spent outside, celebrating my birthday and enjoying the company of people I see maybe once a year isn't the best way to get anything done. Other than to make myself really happy, of course.
The next page will be up when the weather is shitty and people stop talking to me (read: probably sometime before Friday).

Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday and it was a good day! I am very very sleepy right now and, due to visitors and people forgetting to bring gifts, my birthday has been extended.
Sweet.

The next page isn't started despite it being one of my favorite in this issue. There is no guarantee it will be up next Tuesday seeing as it will be a very busy weekend. But I'll try.
Note: Tlaloc is frog-like.

Today's page: Alex just needs a full-sized painting of Tlaloc with his own feces smeared on it and he'll be his #1 stalker!

In between apartment shopping and LOSING MY GOD DAMN MIND, I've been eeking out pages. GF is still thumping along, just not publicly, please be patient. Shinies soon.
I'M CURRENTLY POSTING BLOOD PAGES IN THE BLOOD-BLOG!
http://bloodblog09.blogspot.com/
Please tell me what you think! It's my first traditional art project since college. And it's not really taking me away from GF as I thought it would. Woot. In fact, it's a great little side project. Even if it doesn't look AMAZING, it's something fun to do.
However, because it's in the blog, it's in blog format (latest appearing first) so use the list on the right to direct you from page to page. Sorry. I didn't see any sense in making a webcomic page yet. I've only got the two pages. There is no update schedule as I do these pages when I have time/want/laundry.

So here it is. Another hiatus. Are you surprised? Hasn't my failure just become something to expect?
I'm taking the time needed to make a lot of pages. How many? I don't know. How long? I don't know. Originally it was just going to be this week but after I got home from work last night I just wanted to fill the bathtub with ice and write FREE KIDNEYS on me.
BTW, I don't have a job where I get to sit in an air conditioned room where people don't frustrate me and my work is "take it or leave it".
Let's just say I'm going the route of Zebra Girl.
Stay or go, either way there's not much you can get out of this comic.

EDIT: Imagine my surprise to see the page already up when I got out of the shower. Don't imagine me in the shower. So there it is. Incomplete and half-done. I can't even give you a decent reimbursement on Friday because I'm going on a vacation to Maine with my family.
If you read the last three pages, it looks like the comic pages are falling apart.
GF's Birthday is Sept. 12th.
Mine is the 11th.
Presents, please.
Today's page: Ignore the shit-tacular-ness of it all. Tlaloc still has no shirt on. ENJOY IT.

Presents, please.
Today's page: Ignore the shit-tacular-ness of it all. Tlaloc still has no shirt on. ENJOY IT.

It's not full colored. My wrist is killing me and we're all lucky to get this much. Sorry guys. Until I can figure out what's wrong with my hand, GF causes me mental AND physical pain. That's also why the new website isn't up and many, many other things aren't done.

NOTE: The format of this blog looks funny, I know. I'm playing with HTML again and no it won't go back to normal because of the new GF main page layout I'm creating. It'll make sense when you see it, trust me.
Crap, my milk goes bad today.
Right. Here's Friday's page. I'm using as today's so I don't owe you another page. That would be impossible. This month/time of year is the nicest in Vermont as the heat lays off, the humidity backs off a little and the days are beautiful. When you live in Vermont, you know what I mean. You want to go OUT. Anyway, that's an apology and a forewarning.
Today's/Friday's page: I'm beginning to like Alex less and less. But topless Tlaloc makes up for it, I think.

A HUGE THANK YOU TO ERIC HAZEL who generously donated $50 to GF. INCONCEIVABLE

Almost August?! Shit.
I'VE POSTED SOME SKETCHES AND IMAGES FROM THE MINI COMIC, BLOOD, BUT YOU NEED TO GO TO THE BLOOD BLOG. More to come later!
Also, my mouse is working again so I need to get back to work for Tuesday's page!

The comic has updated. If it hasn't shown up yet try refreshing your page (F5) or wait until CG comes around. But it's there. I promise.
I'm still seriously trying to find out who donated $50 to GF because it's making me nervous. Having not received a DIME in the past year through the donation button and considering people are hard-up for cash 98% of the time (unless one needs booze or cigarettes), I have to wonder if it's legitimate.
Today's Page: This page breaks a lot of personal rules. Mostly like...how it's actually mid-afternoon/evening-ish and there is light POURING in to make Tlaloc really sexy. Also, I'm considering crisping up my brush in Photoshop to see what kind of edge I can make. Anyway, Tlaloc in sweatpants is a crime.

Sooo...it's quiet around here, isn't it?
Practically EVERY ARTIST on my webcomic list is in San Diego right now. Updates are scarce this time of year, aye?
I'll still update Friday of course. While you're reading 50 pages of "didn't update because I was tired from the Con" I'LL HAVE A MOTHERFUCKING COMIC UP. I wish one person cared. That'd be awesome.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Issue 13 is going up! Friday's page is done and I am currently working on next Tuesday's page. I've just felt like working on GF, which is good, because I haven't for a while.
The cover and title of this issue is extremely boring. Sorry. If I went to make a cover it would take away from the comic time. I also tried to think of a different title, but this works better.
BTW, this is a boring issue. Think Issue 6 all over again.

None of the clocks in this apartment are working, I swear.
Anyway, have some filler. I AM working very hard on Issue 13. I think I have my final copy, but it has been given to someone for some light editing. The first page is in Illustrator and almost complete and ready for Photoshop. Soon, my pets, soon!

HOLA AMIGOS!
Regreso para Mexico!
I had a great time and am so happy that I went to such a wonderful place where time is slow, people are fantastic and the world is relaxed and you can't help but follow suit. And no tourista!
I'll get back to GO FISH soon, I'm still on Mexican time in my brain (no jet lag, I just don't give a shit). I had a Baxter dream last night with a lot of zombies. It was pretty sweet.
Love you guys~

If the site looks funny, it's because the new HTML isn't taking well yet. I'll finalize it on Sunday or Saturday when I get back from my Mom's house.
Until then, enjoy Alex being a total poofter.

I now have a blog for BLOOD, the mini-comic you may or may not have heard about. Why yes, I AM still working on it. Don't let my silence get the best of you. It is very challenging to make sure everything I want to make happen DOES happen. Please add comments and suggestions to the blog page. The link is provided below. Expect to hear more when I get back from my trip.
Speaking of my absence, please enjoy Liz's comic. It is sure to be amazing. I will have internet where I am, but it will be minimal and kind of crappy. I will communicate with people as well as I can.

THIS COMIC IDEA WAS GIVEN TO ME BY BRYAN F. WHO I WORK WITH!! If you like this comic, give him a shout out here or on the Facebook page.
CG was having trouble updating my comic today.
In other news this was posted by Liz. She will be updating while I am in Mexico. I've built a CSS for her for the site so it should look pretty sweet. There's no updating schedule while I'm gone, so just make sure to check often.
I may update again just so Liz can practice the procedure, but no promises.
Today's comic: I've never seen this show, but I watched ten minutes of a biography and wanted to kill these people.

Hey guys. The remaining pages of Issue 12 are now in the Forum. I'm sorry I couldn't complete the chapter. I was actually thinking about using this time I've been absent to struggle up the last bit of energy to at least make sketch pages of the end of that chapter, but I couldn't. I'm going to push it all aside and get on with the story.
Although I can't tell you when GF will return with regular updates. I've been crazy busy on weekends preparing loose ends for Mexico in July and being entirely distracted by The Sims2 (The Sims3 can eat my ass). I'm also on that swoop of "not giving a fuck right now", but that always turns around, right?
I'll post some sketches or drawings I've done in my absence. There's probably one up right now. Scroll up. Refresh. Is it there?

SOME original sketches of the end of Issue 12 at available in the Forum (Under "Updates"), but not all of them. I'm too lazy right now to pull out my scanner and have dedicated this afternoon to cooking and drawing Issue 13 (which has yet to be named). Enjoy the pages available and spending the rest of your day deciphering my horrible handwriting.

Tuesday June 9th, 2009 part 2
This is probably the worst thing I've ever done in the history of this comic.
I plan on sharing the sketch pages in the Forum at some point in case you're interested. I'll keep you posted about that.
But seriously. I was so sick of this issue I could've killed kittens. And I like kittens.
Issue 13 starts soon. I haven't been working on it because I had to REDO ISSUE 12 LIKE 14 FUCKING TIMES! ARGH!
Have a good weekend.

If you didn't get the memo on facebook, you probably weren't aware that my internet went down for a little while. I was more than relieved to see it back up and running when I got home from work.
HOWEVER, the next page isn't done and my only excuse is I absolutely hate this chapter and have finally decided I would rather do the next few pages with SOCK PUPPETS than go through the trouble of producing sub-par images for people to either not read or believe was the greatest of my ability and label me something I've probably already labeled myself.
So maybe I'll do it with sock puppets...release the sketch images as an art book. Yeah...
Or maybe just scan the sketches, fine tune them and make those the pages. What say ye? Might readers, decide.

My milk goes bad tomorrow, shit.
Anyway, I posted a review for Genshiken, Vol. 1 in the Forum for anyone who wants to read about it.
Also, I'm doing up the CAST page finally and hopefully it will fill the creative void I've been having lately. Yes, even THINKING about GF bores me right now. Not to worry, I get like this, remember?

Remember 3 years ago when people were pissing themselves over the date? (06/06/06) And that horrible movie came out? How do you feel now? A bit silly?
Anyway, yes, it's late. My updates seem to be always late now. And yes, the quality is bad. Actually the "cell shading" is a carry-over from Issue 11: BAX-TORY during the dream sequence. Dreams will be done in cell shading. That's the rule from now on. If it's not cell shaded, it's either the story or a nightmare. Deal with it. Hrmph.
The weather was too nice, my house is a disaster and I had to go home real quick. These and many more things kept me from the comic besides the usual laziness.
Today's page: Holy crap, that's like the most female nudity we've seen ever! Males rejoice!

Hola Chicos y Chicas.
Today's page is going to be late as it was a beautiful day yesterday and I didn't work on the page at ALL. I'm sure you can understand. I also spent the later half of it buying a dress and watching South Park.
I'm going to watch Genshiken Vol. 1 after the page is done and my apartment is clean. If you want to know my thoughts, I'll post something in the Forum.
Also, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was not that great of a movie. I think you have to be completely high, a burn out or partially retarded to think it was amazing. Guess that makes me "not hip".

Did those of you living in apartments pay your rent? Good. Be sure that you do.
I'm hoping some of you read this as I've taken the time to write it.
As you may or may not know, I'm going to Mexico in July for about a week. HOLY SHIT IT'S SO SOON.
While out on the town with my friends Joel and Liz the other night, we stopped at an underground Asian noodle house. We were talking about comics and movies and stuff over Kim Chee Soup and a Bento box when Liz sort of jokingly said that she would do her own comic and update while I was gone. She may have thought it was a light-hearted passing fancy, but now I'm holding it to her.
I'm posting this because if she doesn't follow through while I'm gone (and I'll know, there are internet cafes in San Miguel) I expect you to brow-beat the crap out of her. Considering I trust her enough to hand out my passwords and show her how to upload a comic to my CG account, I'm very serious about getting follow-through.
I doubt the story she will make will have anything to do with GF, but it will be awesome no matter what. I'm tempted to make her update daily since I'll be gone for seven days.
Also, if you've made it this far in this blog posting, here's your reward: the next page will be up Tuesday.

It's been a weird week, guys.
Frankly, I'm just too cold and confused to do anything, but non-sequitor pages of GO FISH and bury myself in the bedsheets.
But yeah, don't panic, I'm not dying yet. No, I just seem to keep surviving.

I wasn't asking for asspats, but I would like to thank the people who showed their support in one way or another.
GO FISH isn't over yet, folks.

I'm running late today. I've been feeling ridiculously lazy lately. That's why the coloration is so sloppy and hurried. Even though I'd rather not do the comic right now, I made a commitment. I just hope there's someone still reading the comic.
Today's Page: I don't like this page. It's almost completely different than the sketch and Ramses looks like shit.
EDIT: And if it seems like Ramses font has changed, it has. Dauphin mysteriously disappeared from my computer. While I search for it online, please enjoy this one.

More on Today's page: Dreamweaver can't seem to hate Baxter, can he?
Oh, yeah, you'll find out why he hasn't attacked him yet later.
ADDITION: I DARE you to find me something cuter than this video.

Today's page: The first time Illustrator Dreamweaver has appeared. Not too shabby, eh? Baxter and I have a strange love of being naked.

Let's hope this one actually shows up on Friday and not, y'know...next Wednesday.
Today's Page: There goes Baxter's old outfit. Sigh, I remember the good ol' days. Today's page was extremely relaxing to recreate in Illustrator, what with all the greenery and cliffside happenings. Baxter was a bit of a problem (see above) and I just realized yesterday's page was the first time anyone has seen IllustratorBaxter in "action".
The next few pages are going to be okay. The storytelling slice-and-dice is coming up very soon. I still have no idea what to make of it. It's like killing a human being, tearing them to pieces, digging into their trunks and pulling out the goodies and then pausing to think, briefly, how to put it back together in order to make it work again.
...what? You've never done that?

Happy Cinco de Mayo (pronounced MY-oh, not mayo like mayonnaise...)
EDIT: CG is being a bitch again. I'm uploading the page to deviantART (use the Art link) until further notice.
Today's Page: Ugh...is it me or is Roger getting fatter with Illustrator?
There may be a missed page here or there in the new few weeks. As of this evening, while at work and thinking about this part, I decided it may be best to just redo the whole thing, make it shorter and get it over with like a certain page during part two. It's a total cop-out, but I am absolutely sick of this issue and wish to move onto the rest of the story. This week is lasting for-god-damn-ever.
Maybe I can write it better when I get the book version of Go Fish done (someday).

MAY. Holy crap, July is so close.
EDIT: See? I got the page up before midnight.
As it turns out, this weekend has been hell. I can't find any reason to get out of bed other than to buy a car. Now it turns out my uncle is passing away after having had cancer for a while and no one tells me until today. I'll probably skip out of some plans I made for tomorrow to go home. There isn't anything I can do, obviously, but it's family. You do these things.
TODAY'S PAGE: I redid the angels' attire. The pencil sketch of panel one has Ramses' sword in sheath, plus some other cool details of his outfit. Note the cross of the archangels on his arm. If you don't remember Ezriel, go back and read chapter 9...or was it 10? I don't know. The next page will be, as promised, Tuesday unless something comes up and takes my attention away.

Heyo guys! No update yet. I bought the Sims2: Mansions and Gardens so a Go-Fishy thought hasn't run through my head (unless you count now having sufficient dreadlocks to make Huitzil...), but it's a phase. Don't worry.
I'd also like to bring to your attention a comic I've always liked. Geist Panik. A spin-off or what-have-you of Hookie-Dookie-Panik (which I couldn't really get into) about ghost hunting. I wanted to find out why he hasn't updated in so long so I did the honorable thing and scrolled down (oh the effort...). Turns out he's in a bit of a funk. His idea of being a big webcomic hero seem to be faltering and, from the looks of it, people are heckling him.
I'm not asking you to send your donations (though that would be cool), but just read his comic, maybe send some love. It never hurts to tell artists you like their work. It's great kindling. And I'd really hate to see that comic go under because he's depressed.
I'd also like to bring to your attention a comic I've always liked. Geist Panik. A spin-off or what-have-you of Hookie-Dookie-Panik (which I couldn't really get into) about ghost hunting. I wanted to find out why he hasn't updated in so long so I did the honorable thing and scrolled down (oh the effort...). Turns out he's in a bit of a funk.

EDIT: Review for "Mushi-Shi" posted in the Forum.
A couple things I've noticed:
1) I have NO fucking clue what's going anymore at Wapsi Square. Is it just me? It's probably just me.
2) The banner on this page matches the update...HORRIBLY.
Still no word on my progress. Sorry, chums. I've been stewing over Mexico and spending WAY too much time on Encyclopedia Dramatica. Seriously, if you ever feel like you're a bad person, there are about 300 ways to unconvince yourself over there. Do it. Beware of annoying pop-ups.

The facebook poll is now CLOSED.
The winner?
Looks like GF is officially going to a Tuesday and Friday update schedule (just like our buddy Lunar Boy!).
HOWEVER, I can't promise an update THIS Tuesday or Friday. Part three is still wrought with issues (heh) and continuity problems. I think now that my head has sprung a creative leak, it is very difficult to focus it into ONE THING. For examples of my bullshittery, please use the Art link above...
All I can say is that GF will be posting Tuesdays and Fridays whenever I get back to doing updates.
Thank you to everyone who voted and took the time! See what you've done?! You changed history! Voting counts!
...says the girl who didn't vote...

The update poll on facebook will be closing Sunday night. If you haven't voted yet, please take a second. I know you're already perma-signed into facebook, don't even lie about it.
The updates will hopefully start soon. But as it is the weekend and I've been spending more time fucking around than doing actual GF pages, I don't have anymore of a basis to begin part three than I did last week. GO ME!
On the flip side, I have had a lot of creative energy moving and everything I think about gets dropped onto paper (rational or not...mostly the latter) which means it's easier to draw as opposed to the self-destructive motive I have been using.
As soon as I figure out where part three is going, I'll be doing a buffer (I know, I know, that promise never goes too far, does it?) and beginning regular updates according to your whims. It's a lot easier to peck away at pages then it is to try and cram them all into a bundle. Trust me.
Well, you know where to reach me. If you aren't reading this and/or don't give a crap about the updates, you'll probably see some changes. Hey if you aren't reading this, I can say a bunch of bad stuff about you! AHAHAHAHA!

This page ends part two of Issue 12.
Please go to my Facebook page to vote on your updating schedule of choice. I will adhere to whatever you vote for.
No update on Friday. Part three is still scattered across my bedroom. I'll try to get some base finished before next week, but until I get some results on the updating schedule, I'm still going to update randomly (hey, it works for Zebra Girl).
On a much much much happier note with gleeful sprinkles of rapture and a lace mesh of sweetness, I'm finally drawing again and it seems like even sleep can't stop me. I was tempted to get out of bed at 5am this morning (too angry at my neighbors to fall asleep) and just start working on some character designs for BLOOD. I may actually have to write the story down or at least in a list form so I can have some extra storage in my head. Here is a comic that perfectly portrays how I have been feeling -LINK- (because the formatting on this blog is f-ing retarded)

EDIT: Today's page - Yay it's up! Not so great, but MONEY SHOT AMIRITE? No, go fuck yourself. One more page left of this part, also, Tlaloc butt, ftw. I've been sketching part 3 like crazy-go-nuts, but it's still just sketches. I'm going to take some time to sharpen it. No hiatus, just time. My brain has been very, very distracted by the mini comic. I'm starving and un-caffienated, so bye now.
BTW, I'm taking Spanish in preparation for Mexico; anyone wanna help me study?

(Add GO FISH to your facebook, it's the cool new thing to do...unless you count Twitter, and just WTF is that anyway?)
No update yet. Sorry, guys. I've been sick since last Saturday and not only is it making me ridiculously delirious at times (which is actually quite funny), but it's been making me really unenthusiastic. Happy Cat has run out of Happy, basically.
I've been doing a few sketch pages for BLOOD and so far, so good. I love the detail I put into page one, but the others are coming out like my sketches for regular pages. I'm also on the fence on whether I should hand-draw these pages or stay with Illustrator. Since going with Illustrator, I've actually begun to forget how to draw. Also, using him in a wide array of action poses in the comic, Tlaloc in his god form is finally shaping up, but still appears way too adorable for something that big, slimey and hairy. I think it's his eyes.
I finally got some ink for my printer to print out my hoodie transfer, but it was the wrong cartridge. It seems to fit and run okay, but the ink isn't coming out as black as I'd like it to. Suggestions? Is there a print head that may need cleaning? I'm so lost about these things when I can't brain...I have the dumb. (Thank you, Jay)

April Fools
I don't have a funny entry for today, but after years of reading webcomics, it's kind of a tradition to throw readers a loop today. So far it looks like "Garanos" is the only one on my MWF list that did it.
And it's pretty hilarious actually. I applaud you, Alex.

(Don't forget to add GF on your facebook page, the link is on the left!)
I wanted to announce that the GF mini comic "BLOOD" is going into production! By production, I mean that it's all still in my head, but I'm getting it a lot cleaner and organized and it's going to happen. I'm very excited.
It's the story of what it was like to wake up an Aztec god halfway through your existence, already having memories and enemies and a past, but perhaps never living it. It's a stand-alone comic as well as part of GF and it is pretty far into the future right now, but I wanted to announce it now because I'll be doing sketches soon, just to get a rough re-workable idea going. It will be updated here on the site as regular pages, but I'm thinking of publishing it after it's done. So if you like it, you can buy it!
Look forward to it!

This page reminds me to pay rent and do my state taxes...hm.
So immediately after posting this on dA because CG was down, CG came back up so I posted it here. If you don't follow me on dA, that's fine because sometimes I put up spoilers and I don't even know they're spoilers. My hands get ahead of me sometimes. I DID recently draw Tlaloc as a tiny frog and it's probably the most adorable thing you'll see in the next 70 years.
I finished this page before 1pm today, which is only like an hour after waking up. I'm really surprised by that because typically I'm just laying there for hours wondering WHY.
I had a nightmare this morning and each time I fell asleep again it was a continuation of it. I also dreamt I was hording siamese kittens and some dogs in my apartment. Aliens, death, mutilation and a tidal wave from all sides ensued. Ugh. Can't I just SLEEP for once?

No update today. Yes, I failed you again.
I wanted to remind people that there is now a Facebook fan page in case your own profile doesn't have enough crap on it. The link is on the left under the Forum banner.
I sure aside from what "top five dogs you'd like to own", people may also be enthralled with what comics you read. No, it won't make it into the Guinness book of world records.
Garanos and San: The Three Kingdoms also have Facebook pages. Look em up and become a fan.

Another one bites the dust.
Yet another widely-acclaimed, internationally accepted and loved webcomic artist has decided to redo her comic from square one because she no longer likes the beginning. I am extremely tired of authors/artists doing this, aren't you? She's going to get a bunch of comments like "take your time, we love you!" but I am so tempted to just scream "it's old work, learn from it and move on, you lazy bastard".
I don't like the beginning of GF anymore than you guys. It's ugly and a bit loose. But you know what? I can accept that. I've learned from it and am moving on. I'm reWRITING GF into a book so it's a little tighter, but I'd never throw on the E-stop and go back to the beginning, only to make you wait even longer for updates.
She's leaving her comic in a terrible place for readers. It's the middle of a chapter. And as for the track record, seems like a good amount of comic artists give up the story ENTIRELY while trying to redo it. You can't step into those places over and over and, fine you've grown up and you're smarter, the story may be different to you now. Just MOVE ON.
Because of this, I have removed the link from my list and my update schedule. This person didn't bother to put up much of a notice for her loyal readers and considering how BIG her work is, that's really disrespectful.
You readers may follow her in her journey backwards, but I am not. I'm not going to deal with the heartache anymore.

Right! So now I have to go. Enjoy!
I missed Tlaloc too. You can all thank Mark for convincing me not to kill him off permanently and pulling a DBZ.
EDIT: Yes, ladies, you do get to see Tlaloc naked in a few pages...

That's just like me: a day late and a dollar short.
A few hundred dollars short, really, but I had a great weekend thanks to my friend Liz (who doesn't read this comic but she SHOULD...).
Sorry about the poor quality of this page. It was done while drinking coffee and there's a few things on my mind that are keeping me from focusing.
And yeah, Tlaloc is a little tanner, isn't he? Well, he IS and E-Mexican.
Emoxican?
...I'm not sure.
He's emo and Mexican, shut up.
MEXICO!

This page was meant to be up yesterday, but it wasn't done...so it wasn't. The next page hasn't been started yet, but there's a 30% chance I could get it done for Friday or Saturday.
EDIT: I'd like to wish everyone a happy first day of Spring! That means a lot in Vermont because we get 9 months of fall/winter/construction and can't go outside to play or even enjoy an open window. Today, I am throwing the doors and windows open and cleaning the hell out of everything. Maybe I'll even make my very first yard sale pile in case June ever shows up!
It just means I won't get around to working on the next page until later tonight...or maybe at all. Who knows? I told you there was only a 30%. Christ, go outside!

A quick tidbit before work.
This time of year in the part of the world I live in is when people end up killing themselves the most. In fact, the colleges up here throw in a few extra breaks because the statistics are so depressing.
Not that I'M planning anything, but I can see WHY. The next ten days, according to the insipid weather.com, are going to be a mix of 41 degree days and snow flurries. Typical. But that's also a great variance in barometer. And if you've ever watched a TLC or Discovery Channel special, you know that the barometer can seriously mess with a human brain.
That's probably what's going on right now. All I feel like doing is sleeping. I'm very uninspired. But I did some work today while the sun was out and before I had to go to work. I hate being inside when the sun is shining. Expect fewer updates in the summer (and even fewer when I'm in Mexico!).

Looks like I pulled off a MWF update after all! We'll see about next week. I've been anticipating these last few pages and I think it was good for me to just cram the pages I hated into a tight, ugly wad, throw it at the website and have it done with. On to better things!
...at least...you wish it were better. >: }

I might actually get a MWF update going this week. Cool. Let's not be hasty though...
I really just wanted to finish up this part. This issue...everything. It's just taking so long.
Someone at work told me I looked like I had been crying all day. I actually woke up and started crying this morning. I don't know why; I just felt sad. And crying makes me tired. Making myself tired before coffee probably isn't going to help a ten hour work day. And this whole week we've been running on of the shittiest coffees because a plant my company bought to TAKE this accursed recipe sent it BACK because they wanted to have 12 hours of downtime and put us days behind schedule. MAKES. PERFECT. SENSE.
It's been a rough week. I just got out of inventory count and there's no time to do anything except go to bed and lay there until 5am. Then I have to get up to shuck out $200+ for a new alternator and probably end up being late for work because that's how it's been this week. THEN I get to run MORE of this horrid coffee for another ten hours. It doesn't even seem like a paycheck is worth it sometimes.
On the upside (not that you're reading this anymore) my art prof. sent me an email for an invite to the Center for Cartoon Studies open portfolio day and I guess I'm going to that on March 14th. He wants me to get into a one-on-one with a famous professor there but I don't know...All my printed work is awful and I'd have to shell out another $100 just to get some images printed. Also the idea of ME having a portfolio is laughable. I'm down. I'm tired. I'm sad and I'm hopeless. I wonder if my friend from college still does "just friend" spoonings...

What happened is that the pages I had originally drawn for this part grew to be tiresome, ugly things for me. It was too disjointed, broken and awful. Pointless. Maybe I'll post a few sketches in the forum, maybe not, just in case you were curious, but you're probably not so forget it.
I decided to take a bunch of the pages between the last update and the coming "climax" and MASH them all together so I didn't have to look at them. I had to get that image of Alex screaming though. Of the few things I liked about this part, that was one of them. I'm sure how I feel about it Illustrator'd.
I'll need to work on more pages for this week tomorrow instead of playing my MMORPG. No problem there. The whole thing has become a "no no you can't do that because your character needs to be a specific kind of class with such and such skills and has to do this and party and BLAHBLAHBLAH" instead of "hey here's a free game I can play and have fun at". Frankly, the former and the 15 year-old conversations are starting to bug me. Why CAN'T I just run around killing monsters? Who the fuck says I can't? It's not an army strategy on which the world is trembling, it's god damn WoW for girls! GET OVER IT!
/rant
So yeah, look forward to more GO FISH soon.

(ALSO POSTED IN THE FORUM)
Sorry about the lack of updates, folks. If you still check the forum, consider yourself an elitist.
I'm just busy with a lot of other things. Stressing about little stuff at the same time trying to tell myself to relax. It's all rather confusing. My fish keep dying and it's not making it any better...
Also, I've become addicted to Fiesta, the MMORPG, so I'm rather distracted by that. I'm just not doing the GF thing right now. It doesn't mean it's over. I get into bouts like this and I've finally learned to just ride them out. I'll get back into it. Until then, I'm going to harvest copper.
If you'd like to join me in Fiesta, you can find it at Outspark.com. If you already play, I am on the Teva server and my character's name is Sumgai (I'm so clever). I just like to kill monsters and sell copper.

EDIT: A review for "Cromartie High School" has been posted in the forum.
EDIT EDIT: There are going to be quite a few pages (like pretty much the rest of this part) of Alex in his bedroom. Why? Well when I'm feeling depressed I tend to just lay around. My couch eats all my energy and I don't particularly feel like falling asleep so I lay on my bed and stare at the ceiling. It's not terribly exciting to be unhappy. I'm glad I haven't felt that way for a while. I HAVE been feeling really lethargic and dim though...Fuck you, winter.
God damn, two updates this week?
Well, truth be told, this is PAGE 400 and I am super excited to show it to you all. I had a very very emotional tie to this page as a sketch. Illustrator sort of sucks the life out of GF, I think, but the pencil sketch I have...it was like that scene when Alex was dying in Roger's lap; I got cloudy-eyed and sniffly (granted that's from the cold).
I often think crying-snot is underrated. People romanticize sadness. Sadness can be really primal and gross and messy. How many spit/snot bubbles have you seen actors make? Crying is a beautiful and sad release. It's so powerful and it can make others follow suit. I know if someone is crying and they hug me, or even around me, I will start to cry.
Maybe I just feel terrible for what it about to happen to Alex. Maybe that's in.
Sniff.
Anyway, anyone feel like a contest or is this just going to be another waste of my energy? If nobody feels like participating, I don't feel like I should either.

Just fucking around with colors is a lot of fun.
Work puts a lot of pressure on drawing, I've noticed. Last night I was at work and just praying to go home early so I could work on maybe three images I was just inspired to do. I actually had an artgasm at work sketching one out so I wouldn't forget it (those are weird, if you've ever had one).
But as soon as I get home, it's like the buzz is gone. All I did was check my email and then played a game until bedtime. The people around me make me want to draw and it seems like once they are gone, there's no reason to.
GAH.
Anyway, sometimes it comes naturally, other times it's hard to get anything out.
hahahaha...innuendo.
EDIT: Thinking back to that pre-caffeine babble, it's just like at college. There were always people around and always a reason to draw. People would say "oh my God that's such a great idea, draw that!" and I'd have the clipboard right there and it would be done. They won't let me draw at work anymore, even when we're down, unless I'm on break. The breaks are so far apart that the flames have died before I get to my book.
ANYway, the next page marks another leap in GF. Page 400! I'm putting a lot of effort into it. That doesn't mean a lot of time. Sometimes I just won't work on a page, but due to the content of the next one (that probably nobody will really care about), I'm working very hard each day to make sure it's just right.
Also...is anyone even still around to do a contest? I was over in the forums and I don't think it's worth my time or money, or yours. People tend to promise me entries and then never had them in and so the winner is usually a default only-submitter. It's not you guys, I know my comic doesn't draw a lot of attention, but why should I spend $50 when I can save it for Mexico?

Sorry this page took me so long. Lethargy compounded with even more lethargy and then my time of the month (boys, that was your cue to go "eeeeew"). Also, I'm out of coffee filters which means no coffee until I get to work.
But whatever. Today is my Friday and tomorrow there is bowling and crap.
No I didn't forget to color anything and nothing looks wrong in this page. It looks the way it's supposed to (granted in my crappy style).
EDIT: Can I just say how shitty it is to make hands in Illustrator? I just have. I zoom in to try and rework each tiny finger and by the time I'm looking at the original size, everything it out of proportion. I guess there's a ways to go with Illustrator, but whatever. It wasn't like I could draw them before.

I've added a new link to the Links sections (as opposed to the, y'know, fanart section or something...) and I'd like people who love/hate Pokemon/anime to read it. It's a beautiful manga spoof on the television show. It's called "Mokepon" and it's a fairly new comic on SmackJeeves. Please patronize accordingly.
Yeah the new page...it's...somewhere around here...I think. Maybe it's under my covers. Lemme check my bed. Zzzzzzz...
EDIT: It's just come to my attention that a guy at work has been spending his days in the company of his son who has "contagious pneumonia". I'm not really sure what the symptoms are, but he claimed today that he was feeling crappy and would avoid people so they wouldn't catch it. Little do people realize that if, as they say, "if a sickness was contagious when you were showing the symptoms, they would've killed every sneezing caveman a long time ago." I.E. anyone who is going to catch it already has.
I'm not saying that I have it. I don't know what pneumonia really is. I DO know I've been feeling hellish for a long time and if my "moon cycle" doesn't put a stamp on these feelings, then I'm going to seek medical attention. (Moon cycle is such a lovely term for bleeding out one's vagina...) Anyway, thems the breaks. If I get pneumonia and die, I'm sorry if you missed the end of GF. Chances are pretty good I'm fine and will continue to blame a lack of updates on my lethargy. I'm going to bed now.

Jesus Christ, "Heart of Gold" is the only fucking song my neighbor listens to on a system too good for him. I HATE THIS SONG FOREVER.
The next update is being delayed by lethargy and my own lack of sleep because of idiotic music next door. The "book" GF is in the works...again.

Nngh. I forgot this scene took place at night right before doing the background so sorry the color is terrible. It looks pretty awful.
I have absolutely no plans for today and I'm just wasting it. I want to go do something, but it's fucking cold out and nobody is around. I need something to do that's a touch more active than SITTING AT MY COMPUTER ALL DAY like yesterday.
Updates are getting better, no?

I am COMPLETELY unhappy with the way this page came out, but whatever. It's done and I can move on to better things.
SEE? NOW he's got his hair back to normal color...Here you thought there was a continuity error. Psh, who you think I am?
Anyway, I'm planning a trip to Mexico so if I seem spacey and updates are taking longer to get around to, it's because I'm researching places to go and things to do. Stealing a Tlaloc idol is among them. : D
Hope you are liking this on-site "forum". I am. If you're internet is not allowing you to see the "safeword", post a message in the Forum under Comments and I'll try to fix it.
EDIT: Oh and I have no idea where Alex IS in panel two, but it's somewhere with a desk or table. Just go with it. Imipramine is an anti-depressant.
DOUBLE EDIT: I've posted a review for "The Amazing Screw-On Head" in the Forum.

For the people trying to leave comments here and couldn't before because they had to login, fear not! I didn't realize that setting was on and have now cleared the way for your endless banter.
Please. Rant away.

Hey all! I plan on using this comment board for some of the forum activity if that's okay. This is a little more public in my opinion. I hope the site looks good too.
I know the Cast page doesn't work. It doesn't work because it doesn't exist yet. Keep your britches on, geez.
Today's page: Gee, Alex, what was your first guess?
I'm having a lot of fun with Illustrator, by the way. These pages get done in like three hours now. If I didn't have to eat, work, pee and sleep I could get a lot of them done in a short amount of time, couldn't I?
