2005...Kiss my ass!

Now that's a healthy attitude, isn't it?

Well, at least it's honest because aside from the month of July, I think 2005 kicked mine. Creatively, things weren't that bad. Sarge and I continued Dreah (and plan to keep her going in 2006 and beyond. Trust me...the story in DWP 26 will make sense soon.) Plus the Dreah draw off may have resulted in my finding artists for not one, but two projects. (One already in progress, the other awaiting a break in the sketch card demands.) And San Diego may have set things in motion on some freelance asignments to start 2006 with...provided Diamond's new rules haven't scared off the publisher. There was also the bright spots called the Fall and Spring Arbitron ratings for the Evansville Metro where, since I took over management of WYFX, we've gone from 0.0 to a 1.5 in listeners 12+ and tied our format's market leader in Men 45-54.

Unfortunately I've also had to deal with more drama than I care to on the family front as my dad's health and some "bad calls" he made some 20 years ago came back to bite us all in the butt. Toss in the hike in gas prices while I'm basically working for my original salary when I joined this company the first time in 1999...ugh. Is it Sunday yet?

Anyway, 2006 is showing promise. Planning to return to San Diego. I've resolved to pitch to DC in January. (Your good thoughts and prayers will be accepted gladly.) The "Miss Vicky" art is in the hands of a fine upstanding inker right now and should be off to the two Erics by the end of the first quarter. Sarge is finishing up the reveal of "What Happened In Zar" and hopefully "Night of the Jorilla" will finally see the light of day. (And if the format change goes through, I'm going to be so happy, I'll be impossible to live with.)

Bring on '06. I'm ready dammit!
