A break long overdue…

I know what you’re saying… a groan and an eyeroll considering how often I update anymore. But it seems that so much of Spare Change just isn’t relevant to me these days. Even when I do sit down for an update it seems forced. So maybe it’s finally time to break off from the routine and find something different.

So while I still don’t have any plans (or time) to update more than a couple times a week, we are branching off in a couple new directions.

The first one is what you see here. A comic that may only have one strip, or may have thousands to come. And there will be other comics here too. Some may be “reruns” of comics I previously did (Mass Production, , etc</em>.), some may be reopening old projects.</p> <p>Some won’t even be “drawn”, adding extra drama to my domain name.</p> <p>As for Spare Change, I don’t wish to end it totally. At least, not with a Kiln full of spray paint. Phil and crew live on, and may one day show up in unexpected places. Maybe even mixed in with Duck Soup comics.</p> <p>See, this place is getting more like the Buffet table every day. God bless me.</p> </div> <div class="postmeta"> <a href="http://www.poorlydrawncomics.com/?p=3403#respond" title="Comment on A break long overdue…"><span class="postmeta-comments">Comment </span><span class="balloon">)</span></a> </div> </div> <div id="blogheader"> blog... </div> <div class="post" id="post-3402"> <h3><a href="http://www.poorlydrawncomics.com/?p=3402" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to A little help from my friends….">A little help from my friends….</a></h3> <div class="postdate">April 20th, 2009</div> <div class="entry"><p>Ever feel like there is just too much work to be done?
