This Week's Sneak Peek


To say I had some issues with this week's cartoon risks understatement.

I was working on ideas for a cartoon about one topic when news broke that meant those ideas would have to wait.

I came up with something about the breaking news that I felt had relevance to the LGBTQ+ readership, drew it, let the ink dry, scanned it, and started making the Photoshop edits.

I had finished the grayscale version and sent it off to my editors, then started work on the color version. I was nearly finished when the power went out. 

The weather was nice — perfect Chamber of Commerce weather, in fact — so I hadn't been making saves along the way. The power failure, we're told, was due to a vehicle-vs.-power pole collision a couple miles away.

Weenergies restored power to my area a bit more than an hour later, and I had to start coloring the cartoon all over again. After dealing with an upset computer, of course. And all the digital clocks around the house.

But all's well that ends well, and everything's colored and sent off to Ann Arbor.

As for the Blogger issue that came up last week, I'm making this post on the same computer as last week, using the incognito mode of the Chrome browser. I couldn't upload files that way last week, but it's working today. Instead of the Sign In Again window, Blogger/Google put up a Please Allow Cookies Or Else window. 

Once I've posted this, I'll try using the regular browser and see how that works.

Update: It doesn't.
