Well, today marks the last day of the grueling summer job that Jeff — my partner for the graphic novel I’m working on — and I share at a local restaurant called The Oarweed. Basically, this is the best day of the year for the two of us because it means that we will be getting started full-time on Trea’Loong: Fann’s Ascent again! I must admit that Jeff has to put in ALOT more time down at the Oarweed than I do, so I have had a little time since May to work on the second installment in what will likely be a ten volume tale. Jeff on the other hand, who is responsible for all of the artwork, has absolutely no time at all. He’s part owner of the place, so he is there more than 70 hours per week. It’s crazy. I’m sure that you all can imagine how frustrated we were to have to put the graphic novel project on hold for nearly six months. Thankfully we can now become fully immersed in it again. Expect more frequent posts on our progress from this point on –incoming smiley face– 
I can’t believe I just did that…
Anyway, I’ll keep this post short. I hope that you are all enjoying the fall season… I never did before, but I find that over the last few years I’ve done some of my best work when the leaves begin to fall. We’ll see how this seasonal period of inspiration affects the graphic novel.
I’ll leave you all with some pictures of myself and the fools that my wife and I work with at the Oarweed. These pictures are from the party we held at the restaurant tonight (which basically takes the form of us finishing what is left in the beer kegs and bottles of wine):
Emily and I
My “completely sane” manager, Steve
My partner for Trea’Loong, Jeff Fitzgerald
Dina and Jeff (the official morning cleaning crew… they can send autographed pictures at your request)
My co-workers (from left: Mike, Me, The Tin Man, and Steve) humping me… who could resist? Blech… I feel so used
Everyone completely… um… er… sober… in the service bar
The four of us posing… with Steve still trying to grab my balls… you see what I have to work with down there
