That Half-Year Mark

So I'm on pace to easily make my Sunday deadline for comic number 27, which will officially wrap up current storyline. I'm planning another, much shorter story and some single strip gags after that - some time to settle down and establish some of the ancillary characters. There's only so much you can do with your main character strapped down to a table by a mercenary plastic surgeon, you know?

But Sunday brings a real milestone for me; I'm going to have gone more than half a year without missing an update, which is something I've never done before with my other comics. Cute Ninja Girls and Cain is Able both had some gaps - Cain having some large gaps - but I just keep sitting down at the computer after work on Sunday to scan and letter the latest Pixel, never missing a beat. It really helps me to feel that I'm working on the right comic for me, that it's almost as if I'm meant to do this strip. Let me tell you, that's a wonderful feeling.
